No HDA Digital PCBeep on Lenovo ThinkCentre with Realtek ALC3239
After Enabling Loopback Mixing Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 |
||
You're turning off Loopback Mixing switch, so the analog-analog loopback is disabled. Try to turn it on. Note that this loopback might be a cause of some other noises, hence it's disabled as default on many codec chips. Created attachment 284527 [details]
After Enabling Loopback Mixing
Turning on (enabling) Loopback Mixing doesn't help. New Alsa-info.txt attached. I've seen a few alsa-info files generated on the machines with ALC3239. Some of them shows that this chip has two components: analog and digital. aplay -l [ deleted section about card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI ] card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3239 Analog [ALC3239 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC3239 Digital [ALC3239 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Then I have no idea. The beep stuff is pretty much depending on the hardware implementation, and so you'd need to ask Lenovo. Thanks for help. Might be helpful for others. Steps to repeat problem/check your own machine. HDA Digital PCBeep works on Lenovo ThinkPad X200 and Lenovo ThinkPad T500. Doesn't work on Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p Tiny and Lenovo ThinkCentre M73. 1. Download linuxmint-19.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso and create bootable USB. 2. Start LinuxMint in live mode. 3. As root enable pcspkr by commenting or removing line: blacklist pcspkr in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf 4. As root load pcspkr module: modprobe pcspkr After that HDA Digital PCBeep works in real console. If you wish you may enable hda beep in X in terminal emulator: Preferences > Sound > Terminal Bell That's all :-) // Forgot 5. Unmute PC Beep in alsamixer // OK, could you try to pass beep_mode=0 option to snd-hda-intel module and see whether pcspkr keeps still working after loading the sound module? I did as you suggested. Start Linux with blacklisted snd-hda-intel With working pcspkr I modprobed snd-hda-intel with options snd-hda-intel beep_mode=0 and pcspkr stopped working. I looked into alsa-info and saw on both cards: beep_mode : N,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y Then I repeated the procedure, but this time with: options snd-hda-intel beep_mode=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 And IT WORKS!! Thank you very much :-) For the record: In alsa-info on both cards: beep_mode : N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,N In alsamixer loopback mixing must be enabled. // Actually it's possible to put a blacklist to suppress the beep control creation in HD-audio side if it really doesn't work as expected. I can cook a patch if you can give alsa-info.sh outputs on such machines. Created attachment 284553 [details]

Alsa-info from the other machine
Thanks. Now I submitted the workaround patch to disable the beep creation for these machines. I'm not going to merge this for 5.3 but maybe only for 5.4. Please keep the beep_mode option you've used. Thank you for your information. I've put the beep_mode option in /etc/modprobe/alsa.conf and every hour on 59th minute (crontab) I have the proof that it still works. sleep 53 amixer -c "PCH" sset Beep 50% beep -f 1000 -l 100 -r 5 -d 900 && sleep 0.9 && beep -f 1000 -l 500 amixer -c "PCH" sset Beep 35% It's Greenwich Time Signal :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Time_Signal Thanks and good luck! // |
Created attachment 284521 [details] No HDA Digital PCBeep on Lenovo ThinkCentre with Realtek ALC3239 Lenovo M93p and M73 are old computers (from 2013). Everything looks OK. There is a beep slider in alsamixer. Everything works perfectly except a digital beep. After blacklisting snd_hda_intel Digital PCBeep works (can be heard) as dummy output in PulseAudio (but there is no HDA Intel HDMI and HDA Intel PCH cards). Alsa-info.txt attached.
