Lenovo t520 no sound to tv, displayport to hdmi "SOLVED"

[row1234]

I am running LM 19.1. no sound is coming out from the display port when connected to my new tv
On the same computer running windows 7 sound everything works fine. I have a extra hard drive with win 7 on it.
I have been online trying too find a fix with zero results, many many hours of searching and trying things.
no hdmi option shows up in my sound file or pulse audio.
I am looking for someone who has the same computer, who had the same problem, found a solution, and tell me how they fix it.

I have been using LM every 5-7 years. I am no expert using a terminal, I can only use a terminal if given the proper commands.
thank you very much

(March 1 2019 update. problem has been solved)
With the much-appreciated help of MrEen the problem has been solved. I never could have fixed my sound problem myself. He worked on it every day, for 8 days straight! I can't thank him enough.
--------------
what I learned from using this forum, this is for beginner levels of Linux mint (Like my self).

learn how to use Timeshift and make snapshots, and label them for easy recovery.

Before you start making changes to your computer in the terminal, make sure the post you are referencing too has a similar computer set up, the same as yours and has a similar problem, don't just start typing in commands in the terminal hoping it will get fixed, Again take snapshots restore points.

If you are lucky enough to have someone like MrEen help you, be patient and follow their directions carefully. Stop trying to fix the problem yourself, don't make changes on your own while someone is helping you.

No consolation, similar problem with a T430 connected to an external monitor that purports to have sound, connected via displayport to hdmi cable (have tried direct from laptop and via docking station). It does show up in sound settings "HDMI/DisplayPort Built-in Audio", but no sound. Checked and double-checked the cable - stated to support audio. Don't have any windows hardware to check against. If you find a solution I'll be interested!

[MrEen]

Hi row1234, and welcome to the forum.

Install and run PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol.) Chances are, all you need to do at the moment is go to the Playback tab and change the output from the built-in audio to the HDMI/DP output. You may need to check the Configuration tab and Output Devices tab to make sure things are set correctly and not muted.

If this isn't helping, paste back the output of running inxi -Fxz and aplay -l in the terminal. Also, start a song or video then run pacmd list-sinks in the terminal and include that output as well.

This should be solvable without too much effort.

[row1234]

I have installed pulse audio and there is no option to connect to the display port/hdmi on the tv

thank you for trying to help me

[MrEen]

I've been helping with sound issues for just over a year now, and I don't think I've ever asked for this, but could you post the output of running lspci in the terminal please.

You have 2 graphics cards and neither are showing in aplay for HDMI sound. Your Intel card shows 00:02.0 so the bus for it's sound should be 00:02.1. The nvidia is showing 01:00.0 and the bus for it's audio should be 01:00.1 based on what I've seen over all this time. I'm rather surprised neither are showing.

It is possible you need to boot into your BIOS and either look for sound related settings that are disabled, or GPU settings that are disabled (maybe change GPU to discrete?) Do you know if the DP port you're plugging into is on the Intel card?

[row1234]

thanks again for taken you time to help me

someone on line also mentioned going into the bios, I did it and not see any audio adjustments in the bios, So I booted the computer up with windows 7 and updated the bios ,once again I did not see any tab for audio adjust. Remember the audio works fine when booted up in win7, if it was a bios problem I feel it would affect win 7 too. the rules out a cable related problem too

) Do you know if the DP port you're plugging into is on the Intel card?

i don't know, but once again everything works fine when booted up in win7

To MrEen
I reread your last post and went into my bios again to make sure I did not miss anything you mentioned, If you are going to take the time to help me, I need to do my part.

It is possible you need to boot into your BIOS and either look for sound related settings that are disabled, or GPU settings that are disabled (maybe change GPU to discrete?) Do you know if the DP port you're plugging into is on the Intel card?

so I checked out my GPU setting and read the optimous setting that i was using was only supposed to be used running WIN 7.
I changed the setting to to discrete, like you mentioned, I was very hopeful that was the problem but when I rebooted and connected to the tv , there was no Hdmi available.
I don't know the difference between the 2 setting but It looks like I was using the wrong one. I have neversaw that mentioned in any threads LM running on a thinkpad, That tip might help someone else
best regards row

[MrEen]

Hi row.

I've fallen into a rabbit hole looking at this issue. According to this arch wiki, the DP port is hardwired to the nvidia card. When you say changing to discreet there was no HDMI available, do you mean sound or sound and video?

Can't remember how I stumbled onto it, but this page that has a fix, but I'm not advanced enough to suggest going that route. I don't fully understand it myself, but I get the gist of it. There's further stuff about that here as well.

I won't bother with the other stuff I've read as it didn't lead to something I could recommend trying.

So let's start with with a couple of things I have a gut feeling about:

1. Put the computer to sleep, then wake it up and see if HDMI sound is available.
2. If no luck with that, paste back the output of dmesg | grep hda and I'm wondering if one of the last lines will end with Disabling via VGA-switcheroo
3. I'm still trying to research a program you could install called Bumblebee that might get us past this issue. If there's anyone out there in Mintland that uses this, please feel free to join this discussion.

Still trying to come up with anything else that may be helpful.

When you say changing to discreet there was no HDMI available, do you mean sound or sound and video?

there was no sound coming out of the TV speakers
There was video output coming through the TV , the same as before. As far as I know switching to discrete I noticed no changes in computer
------
I suspended the computer as you suggested and turn it back on, still no Hdmi option was seen
-------
the computer I am using is a # of years old and is very popular with linux users, That is why I bought it , I live in the San Francisco bay area, with all the businesses in the area using these computer they are easy to come by and cheap, someone has to have run into this problem before.

In case you've reverted, try this again, then look at the output of aplay -l to see if a second card has been added to the list. If so, we probably just need a configuration change to get it working.

If it didn't add anything new, paste back the output of lsmod | grep hdmi. If that just returns to the prompt with no output, try sudo modprobe snd_hda_codec_hdmi then look at aplay -l again.

Finally, paste back the output of ls -l /etc/modprobe.d as well as cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | tail

The dmesg output basically looked promising in that it didn't show errors or other weird stuff, so I'm still hopeful we can get this solved. The last 2 outputs I'm just looking for anything non standard that could be blocking HDMI audio.

Good luck.

[row1234]

Sat was a busy day for me and I am just getting to the computer,

in one of the posts you liked to bumblebee was discussed, bumblebee program supports optimus , since our last exchange I installed bumblebbe and enabled optimus.

after installing it was not to be seen on my computer, I looks like there is no configuration for it and it just works in the back round. after the install there was no changes in the sound
I hope adding optimus does not throw your work off, if mit does I will remove it.

Look at aplay -l now.

If what you posted was in the order you did them, you might have HDMI available now.

[row1234]

in my testing last night I click on something in the nvidia panel and my screen turned black I did get the screen showing on the tv but no mouse, rebooting my computer in booted into a black screen, I ried several times rebooting the lixun sign on screen come and I was able to sign in , but computer went black.

Before installing bumble bee I made a restore point in timeshift. I used that restore point to get my computer going again. Timeshift save me a lot of time.

I am not going to intsall timeshift again unless you suggest it,
I am going to send you the terminal requsets again from your next to the last post. since my computer has changed thanks rowland

Well, the outputs look good, except for the missing HDMI. Let's get a full look at your sound setup. In the terminal type cd followed by wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh and when it asks, allow it to upload the output and paste the URL it gives you back here.

Another thing I'd like to see is the output of ls -l /lib/modules/4.15.0-45-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda

Your list of kernel modules was fine. Unfortunately the script had an issue and didn'y upload the output. Run bash alsa-info.sh again but this time save the file locally. It's quite a large file so I don't know that you could paste it here so here's a workaround that I think will work.

After running the script/saving the file, type ls so you get a listing of all the files where you can copy the weird filename that was created, then do cat [paste filename here without brackets] | nc termbin.com 9999 That should give you a link you can paste here.

it turned up empty, I must be doing something wrong. I went into my file system to delete the old kodi logs and I saw the alsa-info.sh file next to old kodi logs. I opened it up, the file had a only the numeral 1 in it,

I'm sorry, I thought it saved to the same dir it ran from. Look in /tmp or ls /tmp

My run just now was alsa-info.txt.YtQZzeldZs

That's assuming the script even ran.

Yeah, we had a spot of miscommunication. Mostly my fault. As bash alsa-info.sh doesn't look like it's running for you now, try the whole thing again:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

Make sure to save locally this time and at the end it will give you the location. I just checked, and it will be copyable.
Then you type cat /tmp/[paste without brackets] | nc termbin.com 9999

That should do it.
