dmesg-3.12.0-rc1-shuttle-audio-00275-gc43a385-dirty.txt

Audio via HDMI does not work with openSuSE 12.3/13.1Beta1 on Shuttle PC XS35GSV3L

Audio via audio cable + video via VGA cable works.

Some specs (http://www.shuttle.eu/products/slim/xs35gs-v3l/specification/ ):
*Discrete AMD Graphics
AMD Radeon™ HD 7410M graphics processor (Codename "Seymore-LP")
Integrated HD audio controller for 7.1 Surround Sound via HDMI.
*Integrated Audio
IDT92HD81 Audio Codec with Azalia support
Supports digital 7.1 HD audio via the HDMI port.

I was able to install Windows Server 2012, audio via HDMI appears to work with the drivers provided on the shuttle.eu website.

did your graphic driver get EDID from your HDMI receiver/TV ?

seen the graphic driver cannot pass valid eld to audio driver

Maybe, I think the Xorg.0.log has EDID data.

Comment 7 Takashi Iwai 2013-09-26 09:09:21 UTC
Did you pass audio=1 option to radeon driver?  Otherwise the HDMI/DP audio is disabled as default in the graphics driver side.
Comment 8 Olaf Hering 2013-09-26 09:18:25 UTC
Yes, its the default.

Comment 9 Takashi Iwai 2013-09-26 09:46:16 UTC
OK, then try the patch below.  And make sure that you test with the secondary HDMI device.  Your machine have two HDMI outputs, one from Atom and one from AMD graphics.  The default one is assigned to the Atom, which is likely dead in practice.

Also, please give alsa-info.sh output, too.  Run it with --no-upload and attach the output to bugzilla.

the lower HDMI port is the one that provides data. This is the alsa-info output when the cable is connected to this port.

The upper port, the Shuttle came with a dummy plug to disable this port. No signal is provided on this port. This is the alsa-info output when the cable is connected anyway to this port.
Comment 14 Takashi Iwai 2013-09-27 09:29:40 UTC
Did the patch work?  If not, please describe how you tested.  The output device for the AMD should be "hdmi:1", not the default HDMI.

I have tried the various settings in the gnome3 sound control panel.
Its not clear how to use aplay -D, from the aplay -L or -l output is not obvious what syntax -D expects.

+ aplay -l

Without PulseAudio, you can try like

   aplay -Dhdmi:1 -vv foo.wav

hdmi:1 is equivalent with hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 in the above.

With PA, it should be configured via gnome volume dialog or PA preference dialog.  You must have multiple outputs in Hardware and Output tabs there.

What messages should should be there, what should I look for?

FWIW, I have experienced what seems like idetical problem with hdmi audio moving from 3.10 to 3.11 on Arch Linux.

System: Dell Studio 15 (HD3450/RV620)
$ aplay -l

The problem occurred precisely on upgrade from 3.10 kernel to 3.11. My grub command line includes "..rw quiet radeon.audio=1"

Please let me know if any additional info will be useful.
Comment 21 Anssi Hannula 2013-10-04 23:56:36 UTC
Stereo audio should work fine on ATI/AMD even without my RFC patch attached by Takashi. And missing ELD is expected in that case, it does not affect stereo audio playback.

Olaf, with radeon driver you need to currently pass kernel option "radeon.audio=1" to actually get HDMI audio. Please try that.

Mervin, your issue looks like it could be fixed by http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=58d327da9721f7a0f6e46c8dfa5cc5546fd7078a .
Comment 22 Mervin Beng 2013-10-05 01:08:22 UTC
@Anssi - thanks for the link to Alex's fix. I'll look out for it in future kernel updates and report on the results.
Comment 23 Mervin Beng 2013-10-06 02:57:34 UTC
I have tested 3.11.4, which includes the patch for HDMI audio. Unfortunately it does not address the issue. 

Just to be sure I rebooted with 3.10.14LTS, and the audio issue immediately disappeared.
Comment 24 Anssi Hannula 2013-10-06 19:36:33 UTC
Mervin, OK. Could you report a separate bug since that is likely unrelated to Olaf's issue (you have a much older card and it is a confirmed regression), with component Video(DRI - non Intel)?

Alternatively you can report it at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI (component DRM/Radeon).

Thanks.

@Anssi: thanks again. 

I've found a report for a bug on arch linux, same graphics family, same symptoms - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69729. I will track the progress. It appears Alex has found the bug and a patch will be coming to a newer version of 3.11 stable.
Comment 26 Takashi Iwai 2013-10-07 08:07:31 UTC
Well, the fix mentioned there is what Anssi pointed in comment 21, so it must have been already merged in 3.11.4.

Please test whether 3.12-rc4 works.  If it works, something else is missing.  In that case, please join to the freebsd bugzilla thread and report there.
Comment 27 Olaf Hering 2013-10-18 16:00:23 UTC
radeon.audio= is already 1 in 3.12. Nothing helped so far in my testing.

Takashi, I can bring the system to your office if you want.
Comment 28 Takashi Iwai 2013-10-18 16:18:38 UTC
Could you test 3.10 kernel, in order to confirm whether it's a known regression or not?
(I'll be traveling in the next week, BTW.)
Comment 29 Mervin Beng 2013-10-18 21:36:04 UTC
I initially thought that the issue remained with 3.12-rc5. On reading the thread on bug#69728, I noted the comment 

> In 3.12 you can enable audio on the fly with xrandr.  E.g.,
> 
> xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio auto

In fact, it seems to me that you need to enable audio this way, rather than the boot option radeon.audio=1. I did not get hdmi audio with 3.12-rc5 until the xrandr command was executed.

For me (Dell Studio 15 / Radeon HD3450), the issue is fixed with 3.12-rc5. I haven't tried the latest 3.11 release because the system feels *so* much faster (graphics and i/o) on 3.12!!!

This helps, with 3.12-rc3. Why isnt that done by default?
Comment 31 Olaf Hering 2013-10-22 11:32:26 UTC
With the changes made to the radeon driver between 3.12-rc6 and -rc7 my HDMI audio works, after changing from analog output to HDMI in GNOME control panel.

BUT, I must add options radeon audio=1 to one of the modprobe.conf files. I wonder how distros are supposed to support such setup.
Comment 32 Takashi Iwai 2013-10-24 11:54:07 UTC
For distro, we can put audio=1 option in /etc/modprobe.d/*, I guess.
This is set off as default just because some old corner cases, AFAIK.
Comment 33 Thomas Langkamp 2013-11-07 14:12:20 UTC
I just upgraded from kernel 3.7.9+fglrx to 3.12 final+mesa/radeon-drivers from git on my AMD Fusion E-350, OpenSUSE 13.1 RC2 system. Sound is gone completely, however dmesg and kmix say that sound is played / activated:

dmesg | grep audio
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.12.0-3-desktop root=UUID=172ac2d8-b994-4611-b523-1ad921303bfa resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-M4-CT128M4SSD2_000000001130031527B5-part1 splash=silent quiet showopts radeon.dpm=1 radeon.audio=1
[ 4.694352] [drm] Enabling audio 0 support

here info from alsainfo:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=11...155729763280d8

Strange thing is that kmix shows that something is played when I hit the testsound-buttons, but it can´t be heard. Same with xbmc where pulse-audio is disabled and alsa used directly - no sound. I already tried kernel 3.11.6 and purging pulse-audio - nothing helps! Sound is gone completely!

On my other system (HD 7950) sound works over spdif with the same suse package versions. Can´t test HDMI there. Strange there is, that ONLY source-games have no sound, while on my E-350 system - as said - sound is completely gone. Is this related or should I file a new bug?
Comment 34 Thomas Langkamp 2013-11-07 15:24:50 UTC
after purging pulse, then reinstalling it and opening pavucontrol the master volume was muted, while this is NOT shown in kmix, there is no master slider like in pavucontrol. So maybe a kmix feature missing. Now I have sound, but not in flash/firefox.... rest however works...
Comment 35 Takashi Iwai 2013-11-14 10:25:49 UTC
So, the sound driver problem seems fixed in the upstream.  Let's close the bug.

The rest, the default radeon.audio option, is a different story.  If you find it still a bug, please open another bug report.
