I have a HP 865 G9 with an AMD Ryzen 5 6600U CPU. Audio works fine in various versions of kernel 5 (tested on 5.17 and 5.19), but if I upgrade to kernel 6, the audio becomes muffled. The "s" sound is not as clear as before, and it sounds as if the audio is being clipped. The OS is using the snd_hda_intel firmware both before and after. I have checked pulseaudio and alsa and do not see anything wrong. Not sure how to debug this.
Changing the component. Bugs filed under Other/Other are not seen by anyone at all. Please attach the output of 1. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh 2. `dmesg` for kernels 5.19 and 6.0 (four files in total).
Please also try kernel 6.1.5 and see if it's working for you. 6.0 has already been EOLed.
Please reopen if you're ready to provide the requested information.
I am out of town until next week, can provide the alsa info then. I tried 6.15 before too and it also had the same issue. I also tried 22.04-oem (6.xx) and that didn't fix anything. Are there any distros that by default come with 6.x? I wonder if it’s the kernel upgrade process that breaks things or something wrong with 6.0. Upgrading within 5 doesn't break anything, but upgrading from 5 to 6 does. -----Original Message----- From: bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org <bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org> Sent: Monday, January 16, 2023 5:18 AM To: tsengalb99@gmail.com Subject: [Bug 216927] HP 865 G9 audio distorted after kernel upgrade past 6.0 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216927 The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) (regressions@leemhuis.info) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |regressions@leemhuis.info

Fedora 37 and likely a few others, especially the rolling release ones (not sure if they have Live-ISOs). Give one of those a try and report back please
Got back and tried Fedora 37 live. I did not have any audio issues, so it is probably not related to kernel 6 itself but rather upgrade process then. I have windows installed on the laptop right now to do taxes so I cannot easily install a kernel 5 distro and upgrade to 6 and get the alsa output unless I find an external drive to do that with. -----Original Message----- From: bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org <bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2023 4:26 AM To: tsengalb99@gmail.com Subject: [Bug 216927] HP 865 G9 audio distorted after kernel upgrade past 6.0 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216927 --- Comment #5 from The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) (regressions@leemhuis.info) --- (In reply to tsengalb99 from comment #4) > I am out of town until next week, can provide the alsa info then.

And yes I meant 6.1.5 not 6.15, sorry. -----Original Message----- From: bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org <bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2023 4:26 AM To: tsengalb99@gmail.com Subject: [Bug 216927] HP 865 G9 audio distorted after kernel upgrade past 6.0 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216927 --- Comment #5 from The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) (regressions@leemhuis.info) --- (In reply to tsengalb99 from comment #4) > I am out of town until next week, can provide the alsa info then.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216206 could this be related? -----Original Message----- From: bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org <bugzilla-daemon@kernel.org> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2023 4:26 AM To: tsengalb99@gmail.com Subject: [Bug 216927] HP 865 G9 audio distorted after kernel upgrade past 6.0 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216927 --- Comment #5 from The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) (regressions@leemhuis.info) --- (In reply to tsengalb99 from comment #4) > I am out of town until next week, can provide the alsa info then.

This is suspicious: !!-------Mixer controls for card Generic_1 -Card sysdefault:1 'Generic_1'/'HD-Audio Generic at 0xb48c0000 irq 134' +Card sysdefault:1 'Generic_1'/'HD-Audio Generic at 0xb48c0000 irq 120' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC245' Components : 'HDA:10ec0245,103c8994,00100001' - Controls : 18 + Controls : 136 Simple ctrls : 8 The mixer state is missing in 6.1.8. If you run command `alsactl -f /tmp/alsa.state store` command, do you see an error? Could you attach /tmp/alsa.state file if it's not empty?
I can do that at some point. I tried 6.2.0rc6 and the audio works, so I did some more debugging last night. dmesg in 6.1.8 has this line [ 84.054774] cs35l41-hda i2c-CSC3551:00-cs35l41-hda.0: DSP1: Failed to read 256 bytes from 2800608: -121 while dmesg in 5.19 and 6.2.0rc6 do not. This makes me think the audio issue is related to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216311 (the audio chip is also a realtek alc245). Someone else on that thread with the same laptop but different cpu config also reported issues with audio, but they had a different issue.
The problem is probably in the Cirrus Logic driver code (amplifier chips with DSP connected to ALC245). If upstream works, you may try to isolate the fix code for 6.1 and send it to the stable maintainer so distros can pick this fix.
I meant "maintainer of the stable 6.1 kernel".
>If upstream works, you may try to isolate the fix code for 6.1 and send it to >the stable maintainer so distros can pick this fix. I tried checking if any of the files referenced in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220811053950.11810-1-faenkhauser@gmail.com/ changed between 6.1.8 and 6.2rc6 regarding HP stuff and didn't see anything. How do I contact the 6.1 stable maintainer / who is this person?
Sorry, but with "isolate the fix code" I meant to use "git bisect" or any other tools to determine the first patch which fixes your issue. You should compile and test different versions of kernels. Then we can talk, if the patch can be included to the stable kernel.
Perhaps this is something that the cirrus people should look at instead of me? I am entirely unfamiliar with the kernel codebase, this is probably not going to be an efficient use of my time. Also, it should be cirrus's job to provide support for their firmware when notified of bugs and not the user's. I sent an email yesterday with some cirrus people cc'ed, and I believe you were cc'ed as well. Is that the correct way to get a hold of the cirrus people?
