Intel sunrise point-h hd audio not working

[Alexvar]

Hi there!

I recently installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon on my HP Pavilion 15-bc008ns laptop. Everything seems to be working fine except for the audio.
I checked some command outputs (Such as lspci and inxi -A) and the sound card appears to be detected. Here are the outputs:

lspci:

Code: Select all

00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H HD Audio (rev 31)

inxi -A

Code: Select all

Audio:     Card Intel Sunrise Point-H HD Audio
           driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:1f.3

However, when I tested with cat /proc/asound/cards, no sound cards appear to be installed. The same happens with amixer and aplay -l

Code: Select all

--- no soundcards ---

Code: Select all

amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

Code: Select all

aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

I tried several solutions from the following thread, among others: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=267030&p=1454945 Still, no luck.
I also tried installing Alsa drivers. However, I don't really know which driver package to choose
Pavucontrol didn't help either. It only detects the Dummy output and the configuration tab shows that no cards are available for configuration.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello Alexvar and welcome to the forum!

First thing I'd like you to try is pulseaudio --start in the terminal.

If still no sound, delete everything in ~/.config/pulse/ then reboot and test (or log out/in.)

If it's still no go, show us the result of inxi -Fxz

Good luck!

[Alexvar]

Hi!

First of all, thank you very much! I really appreciate your help

So, I've tried pulseaudio --start. This is what I get:

Code: Select all

N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {bbada5cfcc9a4a80ac8dc5ce6d9f53aa}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native, which appears to be local. Probing deeper.

The output is different when I try inserting the command with sudo permissions:

Code: Select all

W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {bbada5cfcc9a4a80ac8dc5ce6d9f53aa}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native, refusing to start/autospawn.

No luck here...

After that, I deleted the directory you mentioned. I made a reboot. No luck either. However, I realised that the directory I had deleted was back after rebooting!
I deleted the directory again, but this time with sudo permissions and emptying the Recycling bin (Is that how you call it in Linux?) afterwards. Again, no luck.

Here's the inxi -Fxz output:

Also, I forgot to mention I have the system fully updated, and I'm currently running kernel 4.10.0-38

[MrEen]

Yeah, the directory recreates itself with defaults that sometimes helps if your system had changed things for the worse.

Here's my next few suggestions:

Lets make sure your user is in the audio group. In the terminal type groups $USER and make sure audio is in the list. If it isn't, add yourself with adduser $USER audio (I'm not certain if that needs sudo or not.) Reboot (or log out and log in) and test.

In the terminal, type sudo alsa force-reload then wait a moment for it to finish. I think you'll need to hit Ctrl-c when it's done to get back to a prompt. Reboot and test.

Still not working? In the terminal type cat /etc/default/speech-dispatcher If it is set to RUN=yes, try changing it by typing gksudo xed /etc/default/speech-dispatcher (replace xed with your preferred text editor.) Just change the yes to no, save, exit, reboot and test.

Lastly, if still no sound, type gksudo xed /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf scroll to the bottom of the file and add options snd-hda-intel model=auto then reboot and test. If that doesn't work, replace =auto with =hp and one more reboot.

Post back the results, and if necessary, we'll look into more options.

Again, good luck!

[Alexvar]

Hi!

groups $USER didn't show audio on the list. I finally hoped that would be the problem, but after adding the command and rebooting, no sound.

sudo alsa force-reload didn't take long at all (just two seconds). No sound after rebooting. Here's the ouput of the command:

Code: Select all

Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-hda-intel snd-hda-codec snd-hda-core snd-hwdep snd-pcm snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-rawmidi snd-seq snd-seq-device snd-timer.

alexvar@HP-Pavilion-Notebook ~ $

Notice how I didn't have to press Ctrl+C to return to the prompt...

cat /etc/default/speech-dispatcher showed RUN=no, so I didn't change that.

Finally, I edited the conf file for Alsa, and I tried adding the line with both ...=auto and ....=hp, but no luck in both cases.
Oddly enough, I got this command output after closing the text editor:

Code: Select all

** (xed:6820): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::xed-spell-language not supported

** (xed:6820): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::xed-encoding not supported

** (xed:6820): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::xed-position not supported

Is there, by any chance, a possibility that I accidentally fried the sound card when installing Linux Mint? Maybe changing something the BIOS altered my laptop so that audio wouldn't work? I had to disable SecureBoot, but I doubt that would have disabled the audio...

Anyway, thanks for your support!

[MrEen]

Okay. You can ignore those warnings (they'll pop up every time you gksudo xed when you close the editor.)

Just to be safe, remove that last line of alsa-base.conf you added as it didn't help (don't want it potentially blocking a fix later.)

Some more items to check:

Does grep audio /etc/group return with pulse included in the output?

Does find $HOME ! -user $USER return anything at all?

I'll check back in after work.

[Alexvar]

Hi!

grep audio /etc/group does return an output with pulse. Here it is:

Code: Select all

audio:x:29:pulse,alexvar

find $HOME ! -user $USER returns a list of files:

Code: Select all

/home/alexvar/.cache/dconf/user

Note: I ran this command w/ sudo permissions (otherwise it would stop at .../dconf and deny access)

And that's it!

[MrEen]

Okay. Lets try a different tack.

I know you've done some of these, but lets redo it with a new one as well:

sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload

Reboot and see if the card is detected with cat /proc/asound/cards

[Alexvar]

Hi!

Well, I tried the commands, but no luck.

However, I've just done an important discovery!
I was turning on my laptop and I realised that upon bootup, a pair of command outputs appeared at the upper left corner for a fraction of a second (Like when you get to see the AUTOEXEC.BAT outputs when booting Windows 9x)
I managed to take a picture of the commands before they disappeared, and this is what they say:

Code: Select all

[   20.816837] hdaudio hdaudioC0D0: cannot read sub nodes for FG 0x10
[   20.816858] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: no codecs initialized 

This might be the problems we've been looking for!

[MrEen]

I think so, good work!

I think you need to follow the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS

I see there are 2 xenial sections in the link that page will send you to. My guess is use the second one, which links to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audi ... .1_all.deb for you

If I'm wrong, the first page tells you how to uninstall so you can try the other.

[Alexvar]

Hi!

Well, I tried both packages, but none of them worked. However, something odd happened when I was installing the packages:
When showing the terminal outputs, this is what it showed:

Code: Select all

(...)
Loading new oem-audio-hda-daily-0.201804210316~ubuntu16.04.1 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 4.13.0-38-generic
Building for architecture amd64
Building initial module for 4.13.0-38-generic
Error!  The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch.  This indicates that it should not be built.
Done.

However, I'm running the 64-bit version of Linux mint and I'm running kernel 4.13.0-38! So I don't know why it isn't detecting properly my kernel...

[MrEen]

Damn! I think we're really close to solving this, but this part is over my head. We'll have to wait for someone else to help with this part, I'm afraid.

It might help to make a new thread with Upgrading Alsa/DKMS Error in the title so someone that knows this stuff might see it.

Hopefully, this'll be the final hurdle.

[Alexvar]

Alright! I've posted a new thread so that someone else can help us

Should I put this thread as [SOLVED] now?

Anyway, thank you very much for your support! I guess now we'll just have to wait...

[MrEen]

I wouldn't mark this as solved just yet.

I did a lot of searching but I just don't understand that DKMS stuff. However, I did look at the build logs for those files that were downloaded and saw that the 4.4.0-119 kernel appears in them. I wonder if using that kernel would take care of this (I'm not suggesting to try that yet.)

Hopefully, someone answers in either thread with a final solution.

[MrEen]

Hi Alexvar. In further searching I found something you may want to try. If find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd doesn't return a huge list of items, then sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic followed by a reboot might fix the sound without having to update the alsa drivers.

[Alexvar]

Hi!

find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd returns a huge list of .ko files, so I didn't try the other command.
Here's the complete output, just in case it's relevant (probably not, but whatever)

[MrEen]

All right. Let's try one more thing. Any output from sudo modprobe -v snd-hda-intel

[Alexvar]

Hi!

Well, guess what? No output at all!

[MrEen]

Okay. Unless someone else can offer something new, I have only one more idea.

I want to warn you that I don't know that this will work, and it is rather involved, but I leave it up to you to decide.

I think I got a bit of a handle on the dkms thing. Poorly stated, as I understand it, it allow you to get something working with one kernel, then when you upgrade the kernel, it modifies it so it works with the new kernel.

Assuming I got that right, if you drop to the 4.4 kernel, then run the alsa driver update, I THINK it'll take effect when you go back to your present kernel.

It is possible it would still only work with newer 4.4 kernels, I'm just not sure.

If you decide you want to try it, make sure you know ahead of time how to boot to a lower numbered kernel before you begin. Then install the latest 4.4 kernel (presently 4.4.0-119) by going to Update Manager > View > Linux kernels click the appropriate kernel and click on Install. Next, reboot to that kernel then apply the alsa driver update cd to appropriate directory then sudo dpkg -i <file name> one more reboot (I'd stick to the 4.4 kernel the first time,) and hopefully everything is fixed.

Again, WARNING: This may not work!

You computer is new enough, that the 4.4 kernel may not support everything. You shouldn't have any difficulty rebooting to your 4.13 kernel if this goes south. In fact, you may want to use Timeshift to take a snapshot of your system before you begin. And have backups of your personal files.

I wish you the best of luck whatever you decide.

Oh, one other thing. I'm pretty sure I've read on this forum that some people installed 18.1 then upgraded to 18.3 to fix sound issues. So there's also that option.

[Alexvar]

hi!

I think your idea might work. But before taking any serious risks, I'll try the solutions proposed by user phd21 from the other thread.
If nothing works, I'll test this. Hopefully either solutions work.

I'll post a message if the issue is solved, or if I find out something relevant

EDIT: I figured out I'd make an Alsa-info diagnostics text file in order to see if something else is failing. I don't really know how to identify errors,
but at the end some errors can be seen (some of which are the ones I told you about).

Anyway, here it is:
