 Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2020 8:19 am Post subject: HDA Intel PCH sound quit working [SOLVED] |
 |
|
A couple weeks ago after an update my sound from HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog quit working. I have been reading but can't wrap my head around what I should do. I have USE -pulseaudio in my make.conf but looks like it has been pulled in. Not sure when. My configuration is the chipset sound cards (analog, digital, HDMI), plus a Scarlett USB interface that works fine. Don't use the HDMI or Digital, I don't believe. I do have Jack installed for Ardour.
What I noticed in poking around that Audacity (has always worked when I had problems with Firefox web browser audio) suddenly no longer has the ability to pick the Analog card - it isn't in the drop down list of audio devices - Just the HDMI, Digital, Scarlett, and Pulse. I have google-chrome installed as a browser too and awhile ago it abandoned the Intel analog driver and started using the Scarlett interface, on its own.
I have the HDA Intel driver built into the kernel.. not a module.

I have no /etc/asound.conf but I did a .asoundrc based on something I was reading on getting jack working and using the card 1 as default, though I have tried other files as evidenced by the commented out lines in this file:
.asoundrc:
| Code: | pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
#defaults.pcm.!card PCH
#defaults.pcm.!device 1
#defaults.pcm.!ctl PCH
#pcm.!default {
#type hw
#card 1
#device 0
#}
|
| Code: | # speaker-test -t wav -c 2
speaker-test 1.2.3
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.3.2/work/alsa-lib-1.2.3.2/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:1090:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
|
So I'm thinking I need a good .asoundrc file or perhaps an /etc/asound.conf?
thanks - JD

hunky,
Your /proc/asound/devices says that your analogue sound is now card1
In you should see all the controls.
Card0 looks like HDMI, as its output only and card2 some form of headset, as its stereo in/out.
| Code: | pulse
PulseAudio Sound Server |
so pulseaudio is still running.
As you have | Code: | default:CARD=USB
Scarlett 2i2 USB, USB Audio
Default Audio Device |
your present default card is card2, so you must have something somewhere doing that as alsa uses card0 by default.
Find that 'something somewhere' and change it to default to card1.

Thanks much NeddySeagoon for helping out.
It does confuse me that I have
| Code: | default:CARD=PCH
HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog
Default Audio Device
|
and
| Code: | default:CARD=USB
Scarlett 2i2 USB, USB Audio
Default Audio Device |
| Quote: | | Find that 'something somewhere' and change it to default to card1. |
No idea how or where to look. I would think it would be a asound.conf file I don't have or the .asoundrc file, which I tried to make the Card 1, Device 0 the default. |

hunky,
As root, create /etc/asound.conf containing
| Code: | defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1 |
Then test. This file is read by alsa every time you play something.
/etc/asound.conf is a system wide setting it will be overridden by ~/.asound.conf if it exits.

So simple.. I should have tried that before but got lost in the alsa config wiki pages...
It seems to let speaker test work, and even youtubes on Firefox v.80 works again. Chrome still uses the Scarlett which is fine - I could probably fix that somehow if I googled it, but don't mind - not an issue.
Still can't get audacity to recognize the default card 1 for playback- doesn't include it in the devices list. Interesting that it does have the card in the Recording drop down list. When I'm doing a recording session, it is nice to have the recording device the Scarlett and the ability to monitor (playback) through the Card 1. But not a show stopper and perhaps if I dig deeper I can figure it out. First googling didn't produce.
You are a generous person - thanks so much for helping all us users. /jd |
