Logs from working and muted configuration

HDMI audio initialization seems uncomplete. HDMI playback is in progress but no sound goes out from the monitor although volume is correctly set.
$ speaker-test -D hw:PCH,3 -c 2 -t wav

Reproducing steps are unclear, but it is more likely to occur before first playback. Opening Ubuntu Audio settings UI fixes the problem (without changing any setting).
It is not necessarily a regression as the bug is rare, we can have missed it in the past.

I took snapshots of audio components states when HDMI is muted and working, please find them attached.
Differences seems to show that in Codec: Intel Valleyview2 HDMI, Node 0x02 [Audio Output] is not Enabled, and IEC958 is Off. Intel_audio_dump output shows also some differences.

Comment 2 guillaume-florianx.vidal 2015-02-27 17:38:44 UTC
It looks similar at first sight, but playing 48kHz won't help. I just reproduced it with analog audio so graphics are not necessarily involved.
It can be a missing configuration as 78038. 
Moreover, I cannot reproduce the issue on Haswell atm.

Hi Guillaume,

I tried latest one weeks' drm-intel-nightly kernel on BYT-M / Notebook ACER Aspire E1-410G. Not found this bug.

Could you please give the fixed reproduce steps?
What's the bug reproducibility? or how many times of boot up would let the bug appear?

dmesg and audio info

Hello,

The steps to reproduce are:
speaker-test -D hw:PCH,3 -l 1 -c 2 -s 1 -t wav		(sound okay)
xrandr --output HDMI1 --off
xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto
speaker-test -D hw:PCH,3 -l 1 -c 2 -s 1 -t wav		(sound okay)
Ubuntu - system settings - Brightness & Lock - Turn Screen off when inactive for "1 minute"
Wait 1 minute, HDMI turns off, press a key and log in again. 
speaker-test -D hw:PCH,3 -l 1 -c 2 -s 1 -t wav       Try playing audio, no sound from HDMI or analog.
This issue is not triggered by suspend to freeze or mem.

ELD (not valid + errors in dmesg) and audio codec seems involved. Please see attached logs for investigations.
Comment 5 jinliangx.wang 2015-03-16 02:26:45 UTC
Try to reproduce this bug again on latest drm-intel-nightly kernel.

The test result is slightly different from Guillaume.

As Guillaume's test step, press any key to wake up the monitor and log in, play audio, I could hear sound from HDMI monitor no matter playing through HDMI or Analog, It's incorrect behaviour.

ELD and codec are invalid:
1. cat /proc/asound/card0/eld*
monitor_present         0

The test behaviour is similar with https://jira01.devtools.intel.com/browse/VIZ-5118.
Comment 7 guillaume-florianx.vidal 2015-04-15 13:23:20 UTC
Issue is still reproducible on latest drm-intel kernel. (Had no problem to boot).

Comment 8 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-16 01:58:28 UTC
Thank you, Guillaume! I'll install a clean Ubuntu 14.04 on an ACER Aspire E1-410G and verify this issue again.

Now, this machine cannot start UI automatically on boot.
If I enable x and gnome after boot, I cannot reproduce this issue:
- HDMI audio playback is okay if I turn off/on the single HDMI output or turn off/on all displays.

- If I turn off all displays and turn on HDMI only, the HDMI display cannot light up.
Comment 9 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-17 02:25:38 UTC
I Cannot reproduce this issue on ACER Aspire E1-410G, with Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, and the following kernels:
- native kernel v3.16 carried by the Ubuntu release
- DRM nightly v4.0 on 04-14
- Mainline kernel v4.0 and v3.19, from Guillaume's debian package (so Kconfig is not the factor)

Next step:
- try to find a Aspire ES1-512, same as Guillaume
- try Old Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the same kernels.
- Compare the audio info from Guillaume
Comment 10 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-17 04:22:51 UTC
Hi Guillaume,

I cannot find the same Aspire ES1-512 as you.
Could you help to share more info?

- Can this issue be reproduced on Braswell RVP with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? And how often?
  
- Does this issue happen for other HDMI monitors in addtion to ASUS PB238?

- Could you share me the ALSA info and IAD dump with the latest DRM kernel?
Comment 11 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-17 07:49:29 UTC
Hi Guillaume,

I installed a clean 14.04 LTS
Comment 12 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-17 07:57:49 UTC
Hi Gullame,

Could you try enable the amixer control 'IEC958 Playback Switch' when there is no HDMI sound after a display off/on cycle, on the drm nightly kernel on 04/14?

From your shared info, it seems the digtal transmission through digital converter (Node 0x02) is disabled and so the audio data cannot be sent to GPU display pipeline: 

Codec: Intel Valleyview2 HDMI
...
Node 0x02 [Audio Output] wcaps 0x6611: 8-Channels Digital
  ...
  Digital:         ... this bit should be 'Enabled' for playback          
  Digital category: 0x0
  IEC Coding Type: 0x0
  


In addtion, I installed a clean Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on BSW RVP, still cannot reproduce this issue, no matter HD-A power save is enabled or not.
Comment 13 guillaume-florianx.vidal 2015-04-17 14:00:24 UTC
Hi Mengdong,
This is not reproducible on BSW-M, but eDP is off when I plug HDMI (with Eywa, drm or mainline kernels).

Tested with AOC 2369M monitor, same result, same logs.

I take new snapshot on 4.0.0 mainline kernel, attached files are in "04_17_15-4.0-logs.zip"
What is new is that we can see invalid AFG subtree in latest kernel, meaning codec lost response.
IEC958 Playback switch is already on with latest kernel. Root cause is elsewhere.

Your patch "i915-not-disable-power-well.patch" fixes the issue.
$cat sys/module/i915/parameters/disable_power_well
0

The issue is not reproducible when i915 power well is disabled.

Comment 17 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-20 09:37:13 UTC
Hi Guillaume,

Would you please try the two patches above (comment #15,16)?

The 1st patch is to request power supply from Gfx when audio is initialized or resume from S3 for Baytrail. Thus the power is always available in S0.

The 2nd patch is a bug fix, not setting BCLK for non-HSW/BDW platforms.

After_inactivity_OK-with2patches

Hi Mengdong,
I applied these two patches on top of stable 4.0 mainline kernel, they fix the issue.
I compared before and after inactivity audio configuration and they are the same.
Comment 19 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-21 01:32:32 UTC
Many thanks, Guillaume! I will submit the patch today.
Comment 20 Mengdong Lin 2015-04-21 06:25:04 UTC
Hi Guilluame,

Would you please close this bug?

Two bug fixing patches are accepted by ALSA:
-  ALSA: hda - only sync BCLK to the display clock for Haswell & Broadwellfor
   same as the one in comment #16.


- ALSA: hda - add AZX_DCAPS_I915_POWERWELL to Baytrail
   Just accepted. Only has a very small refactoring change from the one in comment #15.
Comment 21 guillaume-florianx.vidal 2015-04-21 06:41:15 UTC
I close this bug because it is fixed by the two patches:
    ALSA: hda - only sync BCLK to the display clock for Haswell & Broadwell
    ALSA: hda - add AZX_DCAPS_I915_POWERWELL to Baytrail
