[PATCH] ALSA: hda/realtek: Enable mute and micmute LED on HP ProBook 430 G8
by Nazar Bilinskyi 01 Dec '24

01 Dec '24

HP ProBook 430 G8 has a mute and micmute LEDs that can be made to work using quirk ALC236_FIXUP_HP_GPIO_LED. Enable already existing quirk.

snd_seq_open and pulse audio??
by Mark Lentczner 01 Dec '24

01 Dec '24

My ALSA Seq port manager runs as a service. The service is installed under its own service user, which has the home directory set to some place non-existent and non-writable. When my service starts I see this surprising log message: *amidiminder[136345]: Failed to create secure directory (/var/lib/misc/.config/pulse): No such file or directory* A little investigation reveals that this error is generated by this call, opening the ALSA Seq: serr = snd_seq_open(&seq, "default", SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX, 0); It's a little surprising that opening ALSA Seq would somehow invoke something in pulse audio, and further that pulse audio would then be trying to create its user directory (.configure/pulse is where pulse audio sticks things under each user's home directory). This seems to be a reprise of this Debian bug from 2013 involving alsa-utils and pulse audio: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712980 Which was close via this patch to alsa-utils: alsactl: Make homedir configurable <https://mailman.alsa-project.org/hyperkitty/list/alsa-devel@alsa-project.or…> The fix there seems to be adding some mechanism to change the $HOME environment variable to point at /var/run/alsa. I agree with Takashi's reply to that fix: Overriding $HOME sounds scary to me, too! Is there any insight into this... and did that fix stick or was some other method found to deal with this. In my case, I don't understand why just opening the ALSA Seq is causing any pulse audio code to run... but perhaps things are more entwined at a lower level of ALSA lib than I understand. - Mark
