Fwd: [Bug 220109] New: Audio disappears on HP 15-fc000 after warm boot again (ALC256 code path)
by Ruslan Nikolaev 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

Hi, Forwarding my regression bug report for HP 15-fc000 / ALC236 (ALC256 code path). #regzbot introduced: v6.12.2 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220109 Sincerely, Ruslan Forwarded Message (see logs in the bug report above): There was a similar bug in the past (Bug 217440), which was fixed for this laptop. (I believe the code path is for ALC256, see below.) The same issue is occurring again as of kernel v.6.12.2. The symptoms are very similar - initially audio works but after a warm reboot, the audio completely disappears until the computer is powered off (there is no audio output at all). The issue is caused by a different change now. By bisecting different kernel versions, I found that reverting cc3d0b5dd989d3238d456f9fd385946379a9c13d in patch_realtek.c ( see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/sou… ) restores the sound and it works fine after the reboot.

[alsa-devel] MOTU Midi Express XT
by holger＠dehnhardt.org 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

I own a MOTU Midi Express XT 8x8 interface which is connected through the parallel port. Recently I upgraded my system and the new motherboard does not have an ISA parallel port anymore... So I bought a PCI parallel port extension card - hoping that it will work with the ALSA driver (mtpav). So I changed the interrupt an port address in modules.conf but the driver is no longer recognized as an ALSA driver even though it loads without errors. As the device still perfectly fits my needs I would like to modify the driver to get it working again. Can anyone give me advice what should be changed in the drivers code to make it work on a pci port? Thanks Holger

aseqsend silently fails (ENODEV) with hardware port

alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #300 was opened from michaelforney: When I use `aseqsend` to send a sysex message to a device, it doesn't seem to work, though there is no error message.

However, I did find one sentence in the alsa-lib docs that seem to indicate that it is needed for hardware ports: > There is another subscription type for opposite direction: Suppose a MIDI sequencer program which sends events to a MIDI output device. In ALSA system, MIDI device is not opened until the associated MIDI port is accessed. Thus, in order to activate MIDI device, we have to subscribe to MIDI port for write. After this connection is established, events will be properly sent to MIDI output device. This seems to be a pretty basic use of `aseqsend`, so I am a bit surprised that it wasn't working. Is the subscription the right way to fix the problem, or am I doing something else wrong?

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 02/13] ASoC: amd: yc: Add quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9
by Sasha Levin 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

From: Talhah Peerbhai <talhah.peerbhai(a)gmail.com> [ Upstream commit a28206060dc5848a1a2a15b7f6ac6223d869084d ] Similar to many other Lenovo models with AMD chips, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (product name 83HN) requires a specific quirk to ensure internal mic detection. This patch adds a quirk fixing this. Signed-off-by: Talhah Peerbhai <talhah.peerbhai(a)gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250515222741.144616-1-talhah.peerbhai@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie(a)kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- Based on my analysis of this commit, I can provide a comprehensive assessment for backporting. **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: **1. Identical Pattern to Previously Backported Commits:** All five similar commits provided in the historical context (commits for Lenovo models 82UU, 82, 82YM, 83AS, and 21M1) have "Backport Status: YES" and follow the exact same pattern as this commit. This establishes a clear precedent for backporting such changes. **2. Hardware Enablement Bug Fix:** The commit fixes a clear user-affecting bug where the internal microphone on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (product name 83HN) is non-functional. This is a hardware compatibility issue that directly impacts users' ability to use their device's built-in microphone. **3. Minimal and Contained Change:** The code change is extremely small and safe: - Adds only a single 7-line quirk table entry to `sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c` - The change is purely additive - no existing code is modified - The quirk entry follows the exact same pattern as dozens of other entries in the same table - Zero risk of regression to existing functionality **4. Critical Subsystem with Safe Pattern:** While this touches audio (a critical subsystem), the change follows a well-established, safe pattern used extensively in this driver. The quirk table approach is designed specifically for adding device-specific compatibility without affecting other hardware. **5. Clear User Benefit:** Users with this specific Lenovo model will have their internal microphone functionality restored, which is essential for video calls, voice recording, and other audio input tasks. **6. Code Quality Improvement:** The commit also includes a minor whitespace fix (changing spaces to tab at line 350), improving code formatting consistency. **7. Follows Stable Tree Rules:** - Important bugfix: ✓ (enables hardware functionality) - Minimal risk: ✓ (purely additive quirk entry) - Small and contained: ✓ (7 lines added) - No architectural changes: ✓ - Confined to subsystem: ✓ (AMD YC audio driver) The commit message clearly explains the issue and solution, and the change is identical in nature to numerous other successfully backported commits for similar Lenovo audio quirks. This represents a textbook example of a stable-appropriate hardware enablement fix. sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c b/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c index 1f94269e121af..d5dc1d48fca94 100644 --- a/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c +++ b/sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c @@ -304,6 +304,13 @@ static const struct dmi_system_id yc_acp_quirk_table[] = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "83AS"), } }, + { + .driver_data = &acp6x_card, + .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "LENOVO"), + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "83HN"), + } + }, { .driver_data = &acp6x_card, .matches = { @@ -353,7 +360,7 @@ static const struct dmi_system_id yc_acp_quirk_table[] = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "M5402RA"), } }, - { + { .driver_data = &acp6x_card, .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC."), -- 2.39.5

[PATCH v1] slimbus: qcom-ngd-ctrl: Add stream disable support
by Viken Dadhaniya 24 Sep '25

24 Sep '25

Currently slimbus driver doesn't support stream disable callback, it only supports stream enable callback. In slimbus usecase, client is switching to new frequency with same channel and calling enable stream callback for new frequency but DSP subsystem is crashing as we are switching to new frequency with same channel without disabling stream for older frequency. Ideally, before switching to another frequency, client should call disable stream callback and then enable stream for newer frequency. Hence add support to disable stream via qcom_slim_ngd_disable_stream().

retire_capture_urb: Corrected urb data len
by Sean Anderson 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hi all, I have a "FiiO DigiHug USB Audio" sound card (1852:7022) [3]. I have had no problems with the audio, but I did notice a large number of message like retire_capture_urb: 4992 callbacks suppressed in my dmesg [1]. This is caused by the "Corrected urb data len." warning. The patch adding this warning [2] makes it seem like this warning should be an uncommon occurance. However, based on the number of suppressed callbacks, this seems to be happening at a rate of around 500 Hz. Is this buggy hardware? Or is this a bug in the driver? Does there need to be a quirk? Or perhaps the warning above should be a debug instead? I'm using 5.15.0-46-generic. I know, I know; this is a vendor kernel. However, I went through the commits for sound/usb/pcm.c and didn't see any major differences. I also previously saw this issue on 5.4, so this probably isn't a regression. --Sean [1] I would have liked to post the actual message, but I was unable to figure out how to disable ratelimiting. I tried setting /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit to 0, /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit_burst to 5000, and /proc/sys/kernel/printk to 8. However, nothing seemed to have any effect (except that the callbacks suppressed messages were disabled). I find this very strange, given that the callbacks suppressed message uses KERN_WARN, and so does dev_warn_ratelimited.

[PATCH] ASoC: qcom: x1e80100: Support boards with two speakers
by Krzysztof Kozlowski 17 Jul '25

17 Jul '25

Some Qualcomm X1E laptops have only two speakers. Regardless whether this sound card driver is suitable for them (we could re-use one for some older SoC), we should set reasonable channel map depending on the number of channels, not always 4-speaker setup. This change is necessary for bringing audio support on Lenovo Thinkpad T14s with Qualcomm X1E78100 and only two speakers.

Request for help: Outputting audio as an I2S stream
by Steve Broshar 01 Jul '25

01 Jul '25

Summary: My goal is to output audio to an ADAU1467 via I2S on Linux 6.6. I tried and then abandoned using a custom, device-specific driver. Now trying to use built-in simple-sound-card. But, driver does not initialize (probe). Don't know how to debug/fix the issue. I've been working with chapgpt extensively since I have found no other source of information on how to setup linux to output an I2S audio stream. In fact, I posted a question to a linux maillist about an issue a couple weeks ago and the reply from Lars Clausen showed output from chatgpt. In the old days folks would joke about googling something for someone. Today, I guess we can do the same WRT chatgpt. But, that question was about updating a driver. Chatgpt tells me that I shouldn't need a device-specific driver since the device is configured and controlled elsewhere. I just need to pump an audio stream into it. So, I started over with my solution; no longer working on a custom driver. Apparently, I can use the simple-sound-card and a dummy codec. But, it does not work. Maybe chatgpt is wrong and I need a device-specific driver. Or maybe my setup is wrong. I have worked with chatgpt to resolve my issues, but have hit a wall. Hoping to get help from humans now. 😊 The boot-time log (attached) shows nothing about my audio setup until the last line: platform sound-i2s: deferred probe pending I think that ‘deferred probe’ means that an initial probe failed. How can I tell what failed? What prevented it from succeeding? Would be nice if the driver told me what failed. But, there’s no error message, just an info msg that probe is pending. Here's the device tree setup that I added (based on input from chatgpt): / { // Compton audio output can be accomplished via a built-in driver -- simple-audio-card sound_i2s: sound-i2s { // specify the built-in simple sound card compatible = "simple-audio-card"; // seems to be a descriptive name that shows in userland; i.e. via 'aplay -l' simple-audio-card,name = "imx8mn-adauslave"; // might specify I2S (as opposed to descriptive text) simple-audio-card,format = "i2s"; // defines CPU as master for bit-clock simple-audio-card,bitclock-master = <&sound_i2s_cpu>; // defines CPU as master for frame-clock simple-audio-card,frame-master = <&sound_i2s_cpu>; sound_i2s_cpu: simple-audio-card,cpu { sound-dai = <&sai3>; dai-tdm-slot-num = <2>; /* stereo */ dai-tdm-slot-width = <32>; /* bits per slot */ }; simple-audio-card,codec { sound-dai = <&dummy_codec>; }; }; // Compton audio output does not require a device-specific codec; the built-in, dummy driver is sufficient dummy_codec: dummy-codec { compatible = "linux,snd-soc-dummy"; #sound-dai-cells = <0>; }; Here's the device tree config that comes with the NXP IMX8M build for nano: pinctrl_sai3: sai3grp { fsl,pins = < MX8MN_IOMUXC_SAI3_TXFS_SAI3_TX_SYNC 0xd6 MX8MN_IOMUXC_SAI3_TXC_SAI3_TX_BCLK 0xd6 MX8MN_IOMUXC_SAI3_MCLK_SAI3_MCLK 0xd6 MX8MN_IOMUXC_SAI3_TXD_SAI3_TX_DATA0 0xd6 >; }; sai3: sai@30030000 { compatible = "fsl,imx8mn-sai", "fsl,imx8mq-sai"; reg = <0x30030000 0x10000>; #sound-dai-cells = <0>; interrupts = <GIC_SPI 50 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; clocks = <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_SAI3_IPG>, <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_DUMMY>, <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_SAI3_ROOT>, <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_DUMMY>, <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_DUMMY>; clock-names = "bus", "mclk0", "mclk1", "mclk2", "mclk3"; dmas = <&sdma2 4 2 0>, <&sdma2 5 2 0>; dma-names = "rx", "tx"; status = "disabled"; }; &sai3 { #sound-dai-cells = <0>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_sai3>; assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MN_CLK_SAI3>; assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MN_AUDIO_PLL1_OUT>; assigned-clock-rates = <24576000>; fsl,sai-mclk-direction-output; status = "okay"; }; In summary, how do I further debug this? In general, and if you know, how does one output an audio stream as I2S? Steve Broshar Palmer Wireless Medtech
