[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2014-01-15 Thread GeeMac
There is still the issue here with no HDMI output with 13.10 after a new 
install. I am now having the issue on a different MB with onboard audio.  This 
would make three different systems now with this issue and one being a high end 
laptop with HDMI.
Please do not tell me that my system could not have worked with the chipset 
that is in my system as mentioned many times above.  The HDMI output worked 
with no issues before 13.10 release.  I had more HDMI options to select from in 
the Sound and Pulseaudio config settings for stereo and surround sound.  Now it 
is very limited to what can be used.  S/PDIF is even limited in reference to 
the surround sound options.  Mainly, there is only various Analog options 
referencing surround sound.

Please take my word for this.  I would not have spent all this time between two 
bug reports if I did not see an issue here from a once fully functioning 
system.  This would have been a total waste of my time and anyone involved with 
these reports.
With the release of 13.10 the audio issues have gotten worse since some 
developers decided to remove support for older chipsets which now has crippled 
quite a few of the once working older HTPCs.  Why remove support for older 
systems forcing the end user to have to replace a once working system?  If it 
is due to removing drivers to cut down the size/bloat of the newer releases 
then at least give a simple option to add the older drivers and code back in 
for the older systems.

My many installs of 13.10 have been tweaked, edited and re-edited lines of 
code, added and removed config files, install and reinstall of 13.10 multiple 
times due to all the changes being tried that eventually caused the audio to 
completely fail and lastly, information about patches without explanation on 
how to apply these patches. 
It has been over three months since the release of 13.10 and yet no resolution 
to this issue.
The release of 13.10 has been a disaster in reference to the audio portion of 
its release. 

Still no one can understand here that the regular user of these distros
using this archaic method of audio control is not going to understand
any of what has transpired over these past three months. The end user
needs something as simple as other operating systems such as Mac and
forgive me, Windows to set up their audio. The end user should not have
to spend hours trying to configure the audio which then leads to total
frustration.

This type of situation such as I have endured would force any regular
user to just go back to a different OS and then end up complaining how
complicated Ubuntu or other distros are.  Maybe a developer or advanced
user of these distros containing Alsa and Pulseaudio can understand
these issues but the end user, the plug`n play end user is just getting
left with these various audio issues leading to a once working and
expensive HTPC.

How much longer is this going to go on before someone decides to place a few 
people on this issue and redevelop the audio portion as one single package for 
Ubuntu and Linux in general?
Please stop waisting time with tweaks and patches and look into a single, more 
user friendly and productive audio package.  Maybe develop a one package 
replacement that can be easly be installed into Ubuntu 13.10 and the latest 
distros using 13.10.

Hello Raymond,

I followed through on your question from the kernel bug report page here.  I 
figure, best to leave the Kernel people alone until it is proven that it is a 
Kernel issue.
Being that I was lost on how to apply the patch that you posted the URL for; I 
had to do a bit of research on how to apply this a52 patch.
This is what I found on this issue with some insite on applying the patch.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1608804

The first test was  aplay -D a52:0  and the results were as follows:

ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM a52:0
aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory

Next I followed step #1  With this result after  aplay -D a52:0 

ALSA lib conf.c:1686:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:14:5:Unexpected char
ALSA lib conf.c:3406:(config_file_open) /etc/asound.conf may be old or

returned error: Invalid argument
ALSA lib conf.c:3777:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing configuration
aplay: main:722: audio open error: Invalid argument

Results were just as stated.

This looks interesting, but what is old or corrupted?
Maybe due to the file not being in the location of /etc.

 locate asound.conf

/usr/share/doc/libasound2-plugins/examples/asound.conf_oss
/usr/share/xbmc/system/asound.conf
--

What is quite interesting is that 5.1 surround works under XBMC, so I am
going to copy this asound.conf to /etc and see what happens.

Now with the asound.conf  copied to the  /etc folder from the XBMC folder this 
has changed things a bit.

Well that test was a bust.

No difference with the audio.  Same as I posted in #51.

Answer to 
pulseaudio only set nonaudio bit in the above patch , the other possible way 
is  when pulseaudio using a52 plugin which set nonaudio bit

I searched the net and all I could find is the URL I posted in #52, and
that was not for 13.10 but I thought I would give it a go.

In reference to
did pulseaudio allow you to select those mapping using a52 ?

I don't think I have ever seen a52 in either ALSA or Pulseaudio selections.  
Remember Raymond I am a hardware person.  So doing a patch, I do not have any 
idea how to do so unless it is spelled out in steps for me. 
All the things I did in #52 I probably knocked my ALSA back a few years in 
version or just loaded up th edrive with a bunch of worthless old files.
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.11.0-12-generic.
Apparently not...
As for Pulseaudio, pulseaudio 4.0

Quick update...
I was running Pulseaudio Volume Control and noticed for the first time while in 
the [Playback] tab
some activity when I click the left or right speaker test in the Speaker 
Testing for HDMI / Displayport.
When clicking the Left or Right Test button  libcanberra  show as the playing 
device
libcanberra: Front Left or libcanberra Front Right.  Also there is audio 
showing in the pop up level indicator.
Now of course,  there is audio indicated, but nothing heard via HDMI  on my 
receiver or directly to the TV when the receiver is bypassing when turned off.

This is probably due to al the items that were added when following the
steps in the #52 comment

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-12-02 Thread GeeMac
I just tried something different here with my system.
I turned off the Onkyo receiver which routed the HDMI directly to my TV.
I tried all sorts of settings within ALSA and Pulseaudio to hear the sound on 
my TV.  Nothing passes through from the media players except this  
speaker-test -d -c 2 -t wav -Dhw:0,3   With this I get the audio pass through 
of Left and Right audio from t wav but as usual mapped wrong as Right / Left.  
In addition, the speaker test within the Sound panel does not pass the audio 
either from HDMI.
So this above test may point to the issue.

I am now pretty sure it is not my hardware MCP67 audio chip-set here either.  
Why I state this,  I tried a completely new computer with HDMI output and still 
the same issues.  My neighbor was gracious enough to let me experiment with his 
laptop.
The test subject was a new HP ENVY Laptop, Intel 2.4GHz  i7 core, 8GB ram, 1TB 
drive, Intel HD graphics and HDMI out.   We set the laptop up as a dual boot 
with Ubuntu 13.10 64Bit with all the latest updates.
This is a major issue which I now know it is not an issue with my system but 
with Ubuntu 13.10; ALSA, Pulseaudio,the Kernel or all three.

Now is this ALSA, Pulseaudio or a Kernel bug?  Apparently  Takashi Iwai does 
not think it is a kernel issue. 
I am going to C/P this to the Kernel Bug report.

Well Raymond that was short lived.  I had a feeling that posting this issue in 
the Kernel bug area was going to go nowhere.
I think what needs to be done is try to pull some ALSA devs and some Pulseaudio 
devs into this issue.  One minute it looks as if it is a ALSA issue then the 
next a Pulseaudio issue.  This is why I feel that there should be only one 
audio package running within any distro.  I can't think of any OS that I have 
dealt with in the past  years that has to use two packages to produce one audio 
stream.
I tried to bring David into this , but apparently he is busy with something or 
considered this a non audio  issue as how others have been treating it  for the 
past few years.
 I gather from the posts up in the kernel bug that the audio is not supposed to 
work the way it has been working here before 13.10, that does not make a bit of 
sense.  If I did not have 13.10 all tweaked out and runing nice and smooth, I 
would just can 13.10 and go back to 12.04.x LTS or wait until 14.04 is released

I am just totally baffled here.

Hello Raymond,

No I haven't filled there.  I will today.  So apparently that is the issue then 
not having he pin hdmi
Just as I said, if it is not broken, don't fix it. :) 

Just for curiosity; the audio packages ALSA and Pulseaudio, are they developed 
under one group or are they both seperate?
If it is one group, to me it looks like a major lack of communications.  
If it is Alsa on the left and Pulseaudio on the right, we need them both in the 
center channel (pun intended);  Mr. Shuttleworth / Canonical should throw them 
both out and put a team together with a  Audio Engineer, a team of developers 
that understands the end user.
Once and for all after all these years of this distro,  develop one working 
audio package that everyone can benefit from and stop crushing the user in the 
middle of this mess.

Hello again Raymond and whoever is following this report,

I replaced the HDA-Intel.conf with the above(see #45).  My results are the 
same.  Audio-test -c 6 -t wav results in audio out via the HDMI, stereo only.  
Left-Right reversed and Left-Right Rear, Center and LFE barely audible. 
Audio test videos can be obtained at 
http://www.dolby.com/us/en/consumer/technology/home-theater/dolby-digital-plus-download.html
I have also been using some test DVDs I purchased while working in the 
production studios.  The DVD set is called Video Essentials NTSC test dvds by 
JKP.


Running a test using XBMC settings as follows:
Top selection:
Audio Output -- HDMI
Speaker Configuation -- 5.1
Lower Section:
Audio Output Device -- HDA NVidia, HDMI
Passthrough Device -- HDA Nvidia, HDMI
These settings result in only digital data in the audio output (Buzz or Hiss).

Top section (as above)
Lower Section:
Audio Output Device -- HDA Nvidia, ALC888 Digital S/PDIF
Passthrough Device -- HDA Nvidia,ALC888 Digital S/PDIF
These settings result in decoded audio playback of 5.1 surround sound using 
these encoded test videos.

Video: 1920x1080 H.264 @ 24 fps (all test videos)
Test video #1:
Audio Codec:  E-AC-3 (ATSC A/52B)
Channels:  Surround 5.1

Bitrate 640 kbps

Channels:  Surround 7.1
Sample Rate:  48000
Bitrate N/A

Using the surround sound test video channelcheck-large.mp4 or 
channelcheck-small.mp4.
File with extention .m2ts produces digital noise output in VLC.

VLC media player version 2.0.9 Twoflower settings:
HDA Nvidia, HDMI 0 Audio out selected produces only 5.1 downmixed to stereo.  
There is no option for surround sound with this selection.  The 5.1 downmix to 
stereo is also not properly a mapped L-R it is reversed as R-L.
All HDMI 0 selections available to play through HDMI is only Stereo, there are 
no 5.1 surround sound options under Audio Channels dropdown or Audio Device 
dropdown except analog.

HDA Nvidia, ALC888 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output only
produces Stereo only.

Using the Audio Selection of: Playback/recording Through Pulseaudio
Sound Server,  produces audio out receiver selected input S/PDIF or HDMI
with Pulseaudio selections (IEC958) or (HDMI)  in Stereo only.

Summery of my findings with both ALSA and Pulseaudio, with the above 
HDA-Intel.conf and even the original script are as follows:
1.   The original script was limited to selections for audio output.  An 
additional output that I have noticed was the Playback/recording Through 
Pulseaudio sound server, something I have never noticed before.

2.   All output selections only produce Stereo output.  There is no
selection for 5.1surround either S/PDIF, IEC958 or HDMI. There is only
Analog 5.1 and above available.  Earlier releases of Ubuntu before 13.10
had options for 5.1surround S/PDIF, IEC958 or HDMI in the Audio Output
selection and Audio Channels of VLC.  I have not tested with earlier
versions of VLC.

3.   When testing under XBMC version Frodo 12.2, I have full Digital 5.1
surround sound via S/PDIF receiver selection.  When selecting direct
HDMI on the receiver, not HDMI-auto which will default to S/PDIF, some
of the video's audio track did not play through HDMI or if an encoded
5.1 track were to play the audio there is only digital buzz or hiss.

4.  Here is something to look at.  Why is XBMC producing 5.1 surround sound via 
S/PDIF when VLC or other media players do not?  Most all experienced users of 
XBMC state; turn off or completely remove Pulseaudio.
I feel that it is not Pulseaudio and or ALSA  that is thes issues since there 
is no 5.1surround in the standard media players and there is 5.1 surround in 
XBMC but only via S/PDIF.  

5.  Lastly, then I am done here with this since there is no discussion on a 
once and for all fix not patches for this.
As I have stated before more then once, I feel that it is about time to have 
the developers get away from two packages for audio.  Also, get out of  the 
possible mindset of  if it is not broke, then don't fix it
As a Broadcast Engineer, I have found that sometimes it may be easier to work 
with what you have and just keep patching.  In this case it is broke, now it is 
time to fix it once and for all.
Scrap these two troublesome packages and develop something new.  One Package 
not another combine this or patch that combination.
Make the package as an option in a update or a stand alone option to install.  
Lets say one is developed, the user installs it via a package handler or via 
the terminal, it uninstalls ALSA and Pulse from the system then installs the 
new audio package..  I know that this is easier said then done, but this issue 
has gone on for years.  So lets start on something and table any fixes or 
patches for what is there now so there is time for new development.

What most have forgotten here is that the everyday user; not someone like me 
that can grasp most of the infomation above, is not

have you filed bug in kernel bugzilla ?

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Drivers

the main difference are those early hdmi codec does not have pin HDMI

seem hda-emu cannot emulated two codecs at the same time and there is a
bug in hda-emu

your MCP67 codec only support 48000Hz

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-11-17 Thread GeeMac
Hello again Raymond,

Remember I am a hardware type engineer and not a programmer/coder.  I feel that 
I am not just the average user.  I would not know where or how to apply these 
patches.  I am a cut and paste sort of programmer. As for coding, HTML and some 
PHP.  As I mentioned in #37  I have reinstalled 13.10 due to all the changes 
that I made things were getting to the point of not having any audio output at 
all.  The audio is still broken, but It is at least outputting via HDMI even if 
it is only stereo.
In this fresh install, HDMI is available, but only in stereo and not 5.1 
surround.  Also even with the HDMI now showing in both ALSA and Pulseaudio, the 
audio output is mainly via command line testing and still not recognized 
properly by any audio or video packages (ie: VLC or XBMC) in Ubuntu 13.10.  I 
have also posted this issue on the XBMC.org website and most all state to 
remove/purge Pulseaudio from Ubuntu and also remove libasound2.  I did not have 
the issues as stated above with older versions of Ubuntu and removing 
Pulseaudio and libasound2 will break many packages that require it that are not 
referencing XBMC.
At this time I do not have the proper HDMI output, if any it is stereo.  In 
XBMC where 5.1 seemed to always work for me, that is now also broken and when 
switched to HDMI output for 5.1 all I get the digital data flowing through the 
audio out or mostly nothing at all unless I switch to S/PDIF for stereo.  
Before I forget, I also noticed if I select analog there is stereo audio output 
even though there is no analog input.

I greatly appreciate all the help that you and David have given me and
also thanks to your colleagues that may have worked with you behind the
scenes.  Due to a couple of audio and video editing projects I have to
get done, I have to move on so I can get them finished soon.  I will
still be available to run any tests that you feel that may fix this
situation once and for all.  For the little I understand about Linux,
this would be a total nightmare for the typical user to have to endure.
This type of issue would probably push almost any user to abandon this
distro and or Linux completely.  The conflicts and failures between ALSA
and Pulseaudio has been an ongoing audio situation within the Linux
distros dating back to 2007 maybe even further.  Now with the release of
Ubuntu 13.10 the audio complaints are already mounting for this version
and HDMI is almost unusable in most cases.  There are too many old,
stale and not properly used work-arounds for this and other audio issue
posted all over the Internet and  it should be time that it is remedied
once and for all.

What I have concluded here is that this may not be a fully broken issue,
but a issue that can be due to both a software and hardware issue.  The
sad issue is that most of the manufactures ignore Linux and the
developers are stuck with experimenting with driver development.  What
makes it worse in my case is that it now seems to be an intermittent
issue, almost as in a hardware issue that when a component heats up, the
circuit fails.  In this case too much data and the audio packages fail
to handle it.

My thoughts for the Devs; would be to keep after this HDMI including the
5.1 surround sound issues and possibly down the line, hopefully soon,
completely scrap ALSA and Pulseaudio and start a new.  Maybe between the
developers of both packages, they sit down together and maybe using the
code of both packages, they come up with a one piece audio package.  A
package that includes all the features and plug-ins to make a smooth,
functioning and system wide user friendly audio package.  As I stated
somewhere in my ramblings I mentioned the use of Ubuntu in home
entertainment, well the gaming industry are now making a push for Linux
as their main operating system for their games, these audio issues will
be disastrous for any distro of Linux if these issues are still
prevalent through the various distros.

I am still available for testing if needed, but I will have to add another 
Ubuntu partition to test on.
Thank you again for enduring all my long drawn out details and hopefully my 
information will help in fixing this issue once and for all.

Take care,
Gary,  aka GEEMac

apport information

** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  My issue here is with the HDMI output, it is non existent.  I have had no 
issues with earlier versions of Ubuntu from 10.x, 12.04 LTS and 13.04.  Even 
the original distro which was originally on this HTPC, Susse.
  I have researched all avenues for a remedy to my issue including #ALSA, 
#Pulseaudio and #Ubuntu IRCs.
  Some have mention it is possibly a kernel issue. I do have audio via S/PDIF 
which is stereo only.
  
  I did not upgrade the existing version; which most would, I have done a clean 
install of Ubuntu 13.10.  Everything is working fine except for my audio 
issues.  HDMI output is not showing in either ALSA or Pavucontrol. 
  On the previous versions of Ubuntu I had many options of Digital 5.1 surround 
ouputs including HDMI.   All that is available now for surround sound is analog 
options.
  
  In the Sound configuration panel I only have Digital Output (S/PDIF)Built-in 
Audio and Analog Output Built-in Audio which are only Stereo, HDMI is now 
missing in 13.10
  I have tried so many apparent fixes in various forums which included  editing 
confg files, uninstalling and reinstalling Alsa-base and Pulseaudio.  I am 
surprised that I have any sound out of the S/PDIF Coax or Optical now.
  Thank you for taking the time to look this over.  I am not 100% sure  this is 
a bug , but by all the research, suggestions on the IRCs and not having this 
issue on previous versions,  I am leaning towards it being a bug.  If you need 
any further information please let me know and I will respond asap.

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-11-14 Thread GeeMac
Hi,
I decided to reinstall 13.10 as a new install again after trying just an 
overwrite saving files and folders etc. etc.  I came to the conclusion that the 
.conf files and probably the libraries were a mess after all this testing and 
changing of the files, thus the new install.
 
The HDMI is working in ALSA and Pulseaudio and works for a short time then 
stops as it did the last new install.  I quickly ran some tests running 
{speaker-test -c 2 -t wav}.  By switching between the HDMI and the S/PDIF via 
the Sound panel while the receiver was in the HDMI auto mode, (auto mode in 
either HDMI or S/PDIF on the receiver will automatically switch to what ever 
input is receiving a signal) I was able to see the display on the receiver 
changing with either selection.

What I have found was the usual, the HDMI has the audio inverted (Right  - 
Left)  and S/PDIF has the proper mapping (Left - Right).  Running a 5.1 
surround sound test {speaker-test -c 6 -t wav}  yielded the the same inverted 
mapping for front Left - Right via the HDMI output and the S/PDIF yielded the 
proper mapping.
The only difference with 5.1 is that Front Center is not from the center 
speaker but what sounded like a spacial mix to center which was via the Front 
Left-Right speakers.  As for the Rear speakers, there was no audio out.  The 
audio is roughly 4-6 dB lower and from the front speakers.  As for the Sub,LFE; 
there was nothing.

To get these results I had to log out or reboot the system to reset the
HDMI a few times.  I have read about this  issue in some forums,
restarting or relogging.  I have tried XBMC and the stereo or 5.1 audio
plays for a while and then stops.  Also pausing, stopping or starting
the video will result in a loss of HDMI audio.  Restarting XBMC also
does not recover the audio.   The information that was sent via apport-
collect was done just before the HDMI audio quit again.

I have ran some tests here on my receiver to see if it had any issues with my 
other equipment when the HDMI audio failed on the computer, all is working fine 
via S/PDIF and HDMI on the receiver.
I also placed a second distro on the system now.  It is latest Linux Mint 
32bit.  I ran some audio tests there and all is working fine.

I hope all this information will help you both determine what can be
causing the issue so a fix/patch can be available to the user with this
HDMI issue.

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-11-13 Thread Raymond
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-
lib.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/conf/cards/HDA-Intel.conf;hb=HEAD

the workaround may be

1) remove index= 16 and skip_rest for HDA-Intel.pcm.iec958.0 
2) change index $CTLINDEX to index 1 for  HDA-Intel.pcm.hdmi.common


ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/gpu-hdmi-audio-document/gpu-hdmi-audio.html

what you need to discuss with pulseaudio and alsa develoers are

12.5. Verify Your ELD Is Valid

To validate that the ALSA driver is aware of your monitor, check the eld
files. Recall that older chipsets (ION and earlier) don’t support ELD
reporting, and hence the ELD files will not exist. In this case, ALSA
always assumes that all audio features are available.

For example,

$ cat /proc/asound/card1/eld#3.0
monitor_present 1
eld_valid   1
monitor_nameDELL U2410
connection_type HDMI
eld_version [0x2] CEA-861D or below
edid_version[0x3] CEA-861-B, C or D
manufacture_id  0xac10
product_id  0xf016
port_id 0x4
support_hdcp0
support_ai  0
audio_sync_delay0
speakers[0x1] FL/FR
sad_count   1
sad0_coding_type[0x1] LPCM
sad0_channels   2
sad0_rates  [0xe0] 44100 48000 88200
sad0_bits   [0xe] 16 20 24

For HDMI audio to work, both monitor_present and eld_valid must be 1.
Furthermore, there will typically be evidence of at least some supported
audio formats.

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected saucy

** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  My issue here is with the HDMI output, it is non existent.  I have had no 
issues with earlier versions of Ubuntu from 10.x, 12.04 LTS and 13.04.  Even 
the original distro which was originally on this HTPC, Susse.
  I have researched all avenues for a remedy to my issue including #ALSA, 
#Pulseaudio and #Ubuntu IRCs.
  Some have mention it is possibly a kernel issue. I do have audio via S/PDIF 
which is stereo only.
  
  I did not upgrade the existing version; which most would, I have done a clean 
install of Ubuntu 13.10.  Everything is working fine except for my audio 
issues.  HDMI output is not showing in either ALSA or Pavucontrol. 
  On the previous versions of Ubuntu I had many options of Digital 5.1 surround 
ouputs including HDMI.   All that is available now for surround sound is analog 
options.
  
  In the Sound configuration panel I only have Digital Output (S/PDIF)Built-in 
Audio and Analog Output Built-in Audio which are only Stereo, HDMI is now 
missing in 13.10
  I have tried so many apparent fixes in various forums which included  editing 
confg files, uninstalling and reinstalling Alsa-base and Pulseaudio.  I am 
surprised that I have any sound out of the S/PDIF Coax or Optical now.
  Thank you for taking the time to look this over.  I am not 100% sure  this is 
a bug , but by all the research, suggestions on the IRCs and not having this 
issue on previous versions,  I am leaning towards it being a bug.  If you need 
any further information please let me know and I will respond asap.

Hello again Raymond,

I have sent off two emails one to David Henningsson and another to
Takashi Iwai regarding his patch.  I refferenced this bug report for
them to look at.

In refference to HDA-Intel.conf ( index= 16 and skip_rest ), ,  I will
get to that now and report back with my findings.

Thanks again

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-11-13 Thread David Henningsson
Judging from the logs, alsainfos etc, I'd say we can nail down this bug
to somewhere in alsa-lib, if this is working:

speaker-test -D plughw:NVidia,3 -c 2 -t wav

And this is not working:

speaker-test -D hdmi:NVidia -c 2 -t wav

As a temporary workaround, you can edit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer
/profile-sets/extra-hdmi.conf and replace every hdmi:%f with hw:%f,3
and see if that helps. (Restart pulseaudio for changes to take effect, e
g by rebooting your computer.)

But this does not explain your error pcm.c: Unknown PCM hdmi:0. Is it 
possible that either of the files /usr/share/alsa/pcm/hdmi.conf or 
/usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf have become corrupted?
To restore them to the original I believe sudo apt-get install libasound2-data 
--reinstall would do the trick.

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-11-13 Thread GeeMac
Nice to meet you here David and thank you for your interest in this
issue.

speaker-test -D plughw:NVidia,3 -c 2 -t wav
This test is working through the HDMI  ( unplugged optical S/PDIF to make sure) 
 Left and Right is reversed but that is the least of my worries.

speaker-test -D hdmi:NVidia -c 2 -t wav
Yields this error:

speaker-test 1.0.27.1

Playback device is hdmi:NVidia
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hdmi:NVidia
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory


I replaced all eight instances of hdmi:%f with hdmi:%f,3 .   Pulseaudio has not 
been starting at boot since the alsa update I did, which apparently did not 
update after going through the motions.  I will have to manually stat with -D 
for now until I get that fixed.

And the plot thickens...

As I mentioned above that Pulseaudio does not start at boot, after
reinstalling libasound2-data, I now have this in my terminal.

~$ pulseaudio -D
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

I will attach the hdmi.conf and the HDA-Intel.conf is now empty after I
did the reinstall.  quite odd.

2013-11-13 Thread GeeMac
Quick note...
I am not sure if I should purge Pulseaudio and reinstall.  Being that I have 
all these logs and infomation, I am not sure if thie will disrupt ALSA with 
more issues.
If I should go this route, I am also wondering if it would be avantagious and 
if at all possible to purge ASLA and reinstall them both so this HDMI issue can 
be approached from  a fresh start.

you may need a trim version of snd-hda-intel.conf

just add index 16 to iec958

Hello,

I followed your instructions for the changes in the script and the latest Alsa. 
 I am now without audio.  For some reason Pulseaudio is not starting and Sound 
is now empty.  I will attach the HDA-Intel.conf file.  There is a before and 
after to show the original and edited version.
  Apparently the attachment bug dating back to 2007 was never fixed in 
launchpad so I will have to set the attachments one after another.

2013-11-12 Thread GeeMac
I am wondering Raymond if it would be advantageous to bring in someone
from the ASLA and PulseAudio group; if there is such a group, to get
involved at some point in this issue?  I am not complaining, you have
been a excelent help so far.  I would imagine that you have other issues
that you are working on and I feel that I may be holding you up from
helping with other user's issues.

It looks to me that this is a ongoing issue for many years between the two 
packages and Ubuntu being stuck in the middle of this.  I have been seeing a 
growing amount of posts in reference to this HDMI issue, especially with the 
release of 13.10.
I did a Google search earlier on using this search method and the issue is 
trending quiet a bit.   Ubuntu 13.10: HDMI issues

I will be happy to keep trying your different suggestions here.  I do
have quite a bit of time here to work on this and feel that solving this
issue once and for all will help other users. I am a former Broadcast
Engineer of 30 years and now disabled due to a worsening back injury
that I sustained when I was younger.  I will give you a heads up though,
I am mainly a hardware person and not coder or script developer.  So
please escuse me if I may not grasp something that you suggest right
away.

2013-11-12 Thread GeeMac
I think this is what you are looking for.  I am attaching two files one is 
without Pulse and the other is with pulse.  Why I have two different logs is 
that Pulse does not start without me running pulseaudio -D.  After it starts I 
only have analog stereo and surround now.  This started after the ALSA upgrade.
Apparently the version did not upgrade since the information in the earlier 
info log and the latest have the same information.  I wonder why ALSA did not 
upgrade? 
Also, I have noticed that  index 16  is not in the new info log. And this is 
after I added the two index 16 lines.  I have placed the changes in both 
locations to be sure.

I also have noticed that there are two HDA-Intel.conf files in two seperate 
locations.  I am not sure if this is normal or not.
~$ locate HDA-Intel.conf
/usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-1.0.16/src/conf/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

Could there be a possibility there are other duplicate .conf files for
ALSA and Pulseaudio that could be conflicting with each other?  If so
what other files should I look for.  There are so many things that I
have tried so far to correct this issue, I am also wondering if the
various configuration files and what ever else is used to run ALSA and
Pulseaudio are now corrupted?

Hi Raymond,
I see that we posted info a minute apart from each other.
I read the bugziller report.  It could be possible that it is the same issue.  
My thought is that maybe we need to look at an older release of this distro and 
see what has changed from that version to this latest version.  Apparently 
something has since I had no issues with the earlier versions.

the driver did not create the controls at index=0

the control  create controls at index=0 only if the driver load MCP73
codec first before alc888

alc888 seem alway load before MCP73 , so  those iec958 controls with-
index=0 are created at device 1 (spdif) and those IEC958 controls with
index=1 at device 1 (HDMI)

Hello Raymond,

Please excuse the over abundance of extra information, I am trying to
cover all I can think of here to possibly speed up the troubleshooting
process.  I also do support here for a gaming company and I always find
that being flooded with information is more beneficial then little to no
information which is usually what I get from the user.

did your Onkyo AV receiver TX-SR606 pass EDID to nvidia HDMI controller
?

MCP73 only support 48000Hz stereo and digital passthrough


graphic driver won`t provide the connect status of HDMI and ELD to audio
driver


it strange that your alsa-lib still 1.0.16

the index of IEC958 playback switch should be 16 and 0 instead of 0 and
1 for spdif and hdmi

have you follow up with  David and Stephen since you won't get PD and
eld_valid when ELD and PD information is not available on these
chipsets.

[Bug 1249705] Re: HDMI output not available in 13.10

2013-11-11 Thread GeeMac
Hello Raymond,

I am not 100% sure that the TX-SR606 passed EDID to the controller.  I
would imagine so since I had full HDMI digital 5.1 outputs before with
no issues with previous versions of Ubuntu including Susse.  I rarely
used S/PDIF.   I will say though, since the fresh installation of Ubuntu
13.10 I have had nothing but audio issues.  I have had others tell me to
go back to a previous working version, but that is not going to resolve
anything for other users that may have the same issues.  I will hang in
here and work with whomever needs any input from me until this is
resolved, documented and patched.

Today I determined via one of the tests that there is an output on the
HDMI but only on that one specific test, and it was only stereo with
reversed Left and Right audio mapping.  That may be a small plus in this
situation.

In addition, I had full HDMI output surround sound in XBMC Frodo 12.x.
Now I only have S/PDIF stereo and no working HDMI options.  When viewing
a AC3 or other 5.1 encoded video there is no audio.   As for MCP73,  I
have never noticed that info until now, probably due to not running some
of these tests which is yielding all this output data.

I also had another thought here.  If anyone wants to do some remote
digging in this system, I am available fulltime until the 14th of
November.  After that I will be only available evenings US EST.   I
already have Team Viewer installed on this system for when I need to do
remote support here.

you may need to upgrade to latest alsa driver

and post the pulseaudio verbose log when you try to play stereo and ac3
5.1 passthrough hdmi

2013-11-11 Thread GeeMac
Here is the log for Pulse audio.

I have been looking for an alsa update.  The only thing I seem to find
is outdated scripts to install alsa 1.0x.x .

As for passing anything through HDMI at 5.1,  I don't have any options
for HDMI to pass anything through.  HDMI does not exist in any menu to
set a 5.1 test.  XBMC only gives an HDMI but I/O is only S/PDIF or
analog and stereo.

Is there anyway possible to completely remove or purge all audio AlSA
and PulseAudio and do a fresh install of both?  I know of purging Pulse
but not ALSA / ALSA-Base.

2013-11-10 Thread GeeMac
Thank you Ramond for the follow up on this matter.

I was not sure if that is the steps you wanted me to try per the post here and 
email.
I looked for both conf files.  hdmi-output-0.conf was not in my system and 
iec958-stereo-output.conf was an empty .conf file.
I added the missing hdmi and edited the empty iec958 with the contents 
and rebooted the system and there was still no HDMI out.
After testing I removed the added missing file, hdmi and commented out the 
two lines at the bottom of ie958 
As for hdmi-output-0.conf, there are three simular files numbered 1, 2, and 3 
but no starting file 0.

This configuration is used in MCP67 and MCP73.

In the case where multiple HDMI display connectors are present, the
