Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
any particular kernel update approach you prefer? I see there are different ways not everyone agrees what's best
Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
I would always recommend the Update Manager. I believe there should be a 5.4 kernel sitting there waiting for you now.
Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
updated to 5.3.0.62.115
thanks for that, boot time is much faster ! (I think it fixed the swap drive issue I had after moving partitions to make room)
anyhow, I tried the different options again and same results. 2 is the only one that doesn't make pops, but 2 also has no normal audio output

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
Using 2 again, after the reboot, run this and paste the output:

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
WOW. Nothing of any use.
Sorry, but for now I'm out of ideas. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
thank you!
Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
You're welcome.
I suspect we're not going to really resolve this properly, but I still hope I can think of some workaround that that will mask the issue.

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
Is 2 not popping because no driver is actually loaded?
Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
can I do a manual install on an alternative driver?
Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
No. The driver is in the kernel, so it's already in your system. It's initial function was for users with a digital microphone array that wouldn't work with the legacy snd-hda-intel driver. Eventually, the code will change, and most users will be one the new driver even without the special mic issue, but I don't know of a way to force it other than what we've already tried. For example, the dsp_driver=1 forces snd-hda-intel, but I really don't know what the other numbers represent. You might want to try some higher numbers, but only single digits. I think I saw a bug report where a user might have used 6 or 7 to have some success with something, but I don't remember what the something was, and am pretty sure it wasn't the new sof-audio-pci driver.
I hope that mostly made sense. It's a rather difficult thing to explain sometimes as no one really knows the big picture of this whole driver change. I've watched bug reports for the new driver for a while, and most of them are from the developers that are creating the driver! If they don't have a full grasp of this, how are us lowly users supposed to understand any of it?

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
Looks like I may have misremembered, although I'm pretty sure I hadn't. Based on this code, there shouldn't be anything higher than 4:
I looked back at your alsa-info output and saw that the sof driver is loading for you:
Based on the above, I would think the dsp_driver=3 should force the new driver, but you said 3+ were all no good, so I'm not sure where to go from here. I guess we could take a look at the alsa-info output again after using dsp_driver=3 to see if there's anything more we can do.
Code: Select all
enum {
SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_ANY = 0,
SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_LEGACY,
SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_SST,
SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_SOF,
SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_LAST = SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_SOF
};
Code: Select all

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
output of alsa-info with dsp_driver=3:
http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=1e230eaff ... ad167f3f16
Should note, 3 is actually different than the others. It has the usual startup and shutdown booms, but also it has a constant unending boom that does not stop as long as linux is running

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
Well, damn!!
You are running on the new driver:
Actually, maybe if we blacklist the legacy driver again, you might have working sound AND no booms:

now no booms, also no sound

Re: Mint v19.3 audio popping
Damn. I thought that had a good chance of working. And I don't understand why you got that Dummy Output with that option.
I'm afraid I'm out of ideas for the time being again.
Let's see if this gives us any clue:

Dummy Output seems to be the case when no driver is loaded or recognized

Ahh, I figured it out. Even though aplay shows the sof driver in use, this part is showing the realtec module, that requires snd-hda-intel:
