Many of the linked issues report the problem fixed (broadly, by the time
of ubuntu 14.04).

(In reply to comment #76)
 @Alex Deucher: Yes, the modern operating systems and hardware are complex
 beasts and I surely understand that some bugs may be hard to track down. The
 point is however that there wasn't a systematic effort to resolve this
 particular issue except for some there is a random problem X described in
 ticket Y, which may be the reason for your troubles too, so why don't you
 try the solution proposed there. By the way I tried the change proposed by
 Michel Dänzer in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38694 , but
 unfortunately it doesn't seem to help either.

There were several suggestions on this bug, but apparently none of them
helped.

 I am clueless about the kernel internals, but the manifestations of this bug
 seem to be consistent with the hypothesis that there is something wrong with
 the radeon driver. It seems like something locks the system for long
 periods of time and the other time sensitive modules freak out. On my
 laptop the problem became even more pronounced when I swapped the 1440x900
 LCD panel with a 1600x1200 one.

A bigger display means more data is being moved around.  It sounds to me
like a chipset issue when large amounts of data are being transferred
across the bus.  KMS uses system memory more readily than UMS did which
is likely why the issues shows up with KMS.  I don't know of any other
options to try in the driver.  We don't have these problems with the
same radeon chips is other systems.  Unfortunately, I'm not a chipset
expert so I'm not sure what sort of pci quirks, etc. to try.

It could also be that the there is an issue in the sound or wifi driver
which didn't show up as readily when there was less traffic on the bug.
As far as I know no one has investigated these avenues very much.

2015-01-18 Thread Tomwallroth
I had all the problems as described by Øyvind Stegard and I have the
feeling that it got slightly better after installing the latest
available BIOS for my Thinkpad T60 2007-CTO (ATI X1400, iwl3945, snd-
hda-intel).

I'm running 32bit Arch with the 3.11.4-1-ARCH Kernel and xf86-video-ati
1:7.2.0-1

I've tried all other options mentioned here, without any sign of
improvement. What can I do to further help investigating this problem?
Would it be of any help to e.g. study the IRQ settings used in windows?

Hi,

Apologies if this is not strictly on topic regarding fixing this bug -
what I'm curious to know is what the 'best case' workaround all of you
are using to avoid this problem? I'm open to absolutely any
distribution, desktop environment, etc. Just wondering what the best
alternative many of you have found to avoid the conflict and maintain
the most functionality.

My best case options so far: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS where I don't remember
noticing this problem, or even 12.04 in 2D if I could get my volume
control buttons to work on my Thinkpad t60.

I'm also playing with arch to see if I can build something usable I
like.

Regards,

K

Just for the record I've tried Kubuntu 12.04.02 and the kwin_gles workaround 
does _not_ work for me unfortunately(T60 w/ X1400) . There are still messages 
like CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20113 nsec, and the wireless is very 
slow. This issue is very frustrating and is the first time when the open source 
model fails to work for me. I mean this report was filed 3 years ago, affects 
thousands of people, there is no good workaround and yet no one from the 
radeon developers seems to care.
I wonder if we can raise money and put together a bounty or something...

2015-01-18 Thread Jan Kouba
Hi,

I have been able to get around this bug on IBM T60/x1400 running Kubuntu
12.04, by using kwin_gles desktop manager instead of the default one
(kwin).

I had problems with sound slowing down and being very choppy when
desktop effects were enabled, or when playing full-screen flash videos.
I did not notice any problems with wifi. With kwin_gles I have
absolutely no sound issues with desktop effects enabled.

How to change the window manager see: 
http://weits.blogspot.cz/2012/02/kwin-gles-as-default-window-manager-in.html

I'm not X expert, so please take the following lines as my humble
opinion. I belive, that the workaround is caused by the fact, that
kwin_gles uses EGL for rendering, while kwin uses GLX. So maybe this bug
can be avoided on other distros and window managers by setting them to
use EGL instead of GLX.

The wifi I tried disabling the sound quaility is still bad when doing
anything display intensive. I havent tried disabling alsa altogether to
see if the wifi is still dropping..

I wanna say when I first come up with MSI fixed version it sounds fine,
youtube also sounds normal, but if I make the unity taskbar show up,
then it goes into some sort of bad state where sound is bad again..maybe
the clock switch in the gpu clock or cpu? Not sure

I need to do some more experiments, haven't had the time.

2014-02-27 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Øyvind Stegard, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a terminal, as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux 571770

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel 
available (not the daily folder) following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream 
kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this 
bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.14-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

[Bug 571770] Re: Thread [hd-audio0] consuming excessive amounts of CPU, audio crackling

2012-03-25 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Øyvind Stegard, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu 
better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in 
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, please execute 
the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, 
in a terminal:
apport-collect 571770

As well, since you noted this started moving from Karmic to Lucid, a
bisect needs to be conducted to find the offending commit. Could you
please perform this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Status: Confirmed = Incomplete

** Tags added: i386 lucid

I tried to git the 11.10 package from ubuntu and recompile with the
change you mentioned in rs600.c file and r100.c . It didnt seem to help.
I noticed someone tried disabling MSI so this might not be related to
MSI at all...

I was thinking of trying the latest radeon src?

Has anyone tried messing with the audio or wifi drivers?  It's possible
the issue is on that side.  How about messing with the cpufreq
governors?  Is it still an issue if you force the cpu power state to
performance, etc.?

I tried enabling msi on alsa and its alot better. Still fulscreen is not
good, but much sounds like 11.04

Add: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 to the bottom of your
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file.

I think radeon is somehow not playing nice with msi. If we could disable
it it might fix the problem...I tried doing it with echo 0  msi_bus in
the radeon bridge but it wasnt working

With a new enough kernel, you can disable MSIs on radeon by setting
radeon.msi=0 on the kernel command line in grub or when you load the
module.  You can disable MSIs globally by setting pci=nomsi on the
kernel command line in grub.

2011-11-25 Thread Jantaegert
Hi, what is the state of this bug?

I'm using the same hardware like Jason does (Thinkpad T60 with Radeon X1400 and 
Intel wireless) and running Ubuntu 11.04. Kernel Version is 2.6.38 and the 
problems with audio glitches and wireless drops are still there. From time to 
time the system isn't going to hibernate or doesn't wake up after.
All this problems are gone without kms (radeon.modeset=0).

But now the Problem has gotten even worse as without kms the radeon
driver only works with software rendering and the unity desktop won't
load. Same with gnome 3 running Debian unstable/experimental.

If I can anything contribute to solve this bug, please let me know!
Reading all the comments bisecting the kernel appears the most promising way to 
me. Anyone who wants to explain me how to do that?

Thanks.

It's weird, and nobody's had any good ideas what could cause it.

 only
 works with software rendering and the unity desktop won't load. Same with

 3 running Debian unstable/experimental.

That's probably an installation / configuration problem (e.g. firmware
not available where the radeon kernel driver initializes) and not
directly related to this bug.

2011-11-25 Thread JasonPorter
An update, since I posted the original bug report... I'm now running
Ubuntu 11.04, and still having the same problems that everyone else is
experiencing.

I'm running the full xorg-edgers PPA, so I am running radeon
6.14.99+git20110504 and mesa 7.11.0+git20110504, with the latest
standard Natty kernel (64-bit).

I'm in a quandry, because without kms I can't run Unity (which no-one
seems to be able to explain), and with kms I get glitchy audio and wifi
dropouts.

Please help, devs!

2011-11-25 Thread Christian-speckner
Taking opportunity of the fact that this ticket is coming back to life:
this issue has still been accompanying over all mesa, X, ddx driver and
kernel updates. I'm on 2.6.38 now, and sound is still stuttering.

 Its not a fix, but a little workaround.
 open terminal
 xrandr
 look whats your minimum resolution and tha name of the screen/output
 now edit the grub linux line with video=[OUTPUTNAME]-1:[MINIMALRES]
 for me its:
 video=LVDS-1:320x200
 now reboot. KMS/VT will now have a res of 320x200, plymouth and X are normal.
 sound crickeling is gone (or I just can not notice it anymore)

I can confirm that this works for me too; I set the VT framebuffer to
640x480, and the crackling is much better. In addition, my desktop feels
significantly faster (I'm using KDE 4.6 with kwin compositing) --- in
particular, switching desktops with many open, complex windows like
firefox sitting is considerably better now.

To the developers (and don't hesitate to beat me down if this is
completely out of question): could it be that the issue is caused by too
many transfers from system to video memory and the driver blocking
interrupts while waiting for them to complete? As I suppose that
changing the framebuffer resolution affects the VRAM layout, the impact
of the above trick could be explained this way. This could also explain
the fact this issue seems to predominantly affect users of laptops which
have hardware relatively low on VRAM (64MB for my x1300 mobility).
Speaking of which: the driver reports the following about my hardware:

radeon :01:00.0: VRAM: 128M 0x - 0x07FF (64M 
used)
radeon :01:00.0: GTT: 512M 0x0800 - 0x27FF
[drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 1 (10.10.2010).
[drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query.
radeon :01:00.0: irq 49 for MSI/MSI-X
radeon :01:00.0: radeon: using MSI.
[drm] radeon: irq initialized.
[drm] Detected VRAM RAM=128M, BAR=128M
[drm] RAM width 64bits DDR
[TTM] Zone  kernel: Available graphics memory: 440368 kiB.
[TTM] Zone highmem: Available graphics memory: 1295860 kiB.

I never gave it much thought, but thinking about it, this seems
suspicious to me as I am pretty sure that this device has only 64MB of
VRAM.

Your device does have 64 MB of vram.  The pci aperture is 128 MB, but
there is only 64 MB of vram.  That's why is says 64M used.

(In reply to comment #40)
 I never gave it much thought, but thinking about it, this seems suspicious to
 me as I am pretty sure that this device has only 64MB of VRAM.

I'm using an X1400 here, with 128MB of vram. I'm not sure if that is
helpful or not.

Here's some extra info for the fire, and one that surprised me when I
discovered it yesterday: there are a few apps that render fullscreen
video that do not exhibit the stuttering at all. This is new behavior,
previously ANY video would cause the stuttering when fullscreened.  This
change that I'm seeing may not be the same on your systems, but it's
worth testing.

A good example is the Hulu Desktop for Linux application, which streams
high quality video fullscreen without any stutter.  This uses the video
card, the wifi connection, and the sound card at the same time, which is
exactly the situation that causes problems for most people.  The app
specifies that it requires Flash 10.0.32 or higher, which suggests that
it uses Flash for the video transport in some fashion.  The application
can be downloaded from http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop-linux

Also, on my system, switching into HTML5 video mode on Youtube (using
Google Chrome) allows fullscreen 720p streaming without audio stutter.
The same video played in standard Flash video mode (in Chrome or in
Firefox) stutters heavily when maximized, in both 480p and 720p formats.
In fact, any Flash-based web-embedded video stutters when maximized, on
any site that I've tried (Vimeo, CBS, etc), including even Hulu's own
web-based player.

I'm not sure what the story is on this, it's confusing. Maybe on my
particular hardware the radeon driver is able to cope differently with
the particular video rendering method used by Hulu Desktop and the
browser HTML5 video implementations. If the Hulu Desktop application is
using Flash, it's doing it differently than viewing the same video on
Hulu.com in a browser, because the web-embedded player stutters and the
Hulu Desktop application doesn't, and both are (theoretically) streaming
from the same source.

I'm running very current versions of Mesa, Gallium and the radeon
driver, so the particular combination of behaviors that I'm seeing may
be a recent change. I also have a relatively fast system (Core 2 Duo
with an SSD) and as always, system load seems to have a big impact on
this issue appearing or not.  So your results may not be the same as
mine.

possibly relevant information from glxinfo:
  direct rendering: Yes
  OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project
  OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV515
  OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11-devel

DRM version reported, which is 2.8 for Ubuntu and 2.10 for Fedora (how come 
that's possible is another question).
So far, the following does not help:

I played a bit with power_profile settings and it turns our that whenever 
profile is set to high, mid, sound stuttering is pronounced. Yet, once set to 
low, stuttering is gone (or unnoticeable).
If anyone wants to try (adjust path to suit your hardware):
echo low   /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
Then the actual frequency can be verified by:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info

Also dynpm power_method does not really work, there was another bug
report recenty that the frequency is never lowered if dynpm is used.

Additionally, given the recent fuss about pcie_aspm=force (and possible
effect on PCIe), sound stuttering is present regardless of the setting.

Confirming this on ATI X1400 mobile, Ubuntu 11.04 x86. When using the
low power profile, audio stuttering/crackling is much less prevalent
(or maybe not even noticable) in Youtube fullscreen vids. Using the
high setting results in definite audio crackling when switching to
fullscreen. This is with the very latest Flashplayer 11 beta for Linux
released today.

On my card, low setting results in:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 392000 kHz
current engine clock: 128250 kHz
default memory clock: 35 kHz
current memory clock: 135000 kHz
PCIE lanes: 1

High setting gives:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 392000 kHz
current engine clock: 391500 kHz
default memory clock: 35 kHz
current memory clock: 342000 kHz
PCIE lanes: 0

There's a difference not only in board frequencies, but also the PCIE
lanes number (0 means full throttle, or is more performant than 1 I
guess ??).

 There's a difference not only in board frequencies, but also the PCIE lanes
 number (0 means full throttle, or is more performant than 1 I guess ??).

The PCIe lanes information seems to be read from the card itself (at least 
that's for RV515), look here:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.39/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/r300.c#L553
While 1 is understandable (PCIe x1), 0 value is confusing and I can't tell if 
that'x x16 or not. Maybe one of the driver authorsa can provide some input.

I've failed to locate any docs that contain information on the registers
exposed on the PCI.

2011-11-25 Thread Richtigfalsch
I'd like the importance of this bug being corrected to 'major' because
disabling KMS in fact means a major loss of functionality. I'm now on
kernel 2.6.40 and sadly this heavy bug still is there.

I skipped form Windows to Linux, mainly because the ATI Driver for the
x1400 in my Thinkpad T60 (with iwl3945 od course) is crap.Now having
tried many different distributions and kernels, i can confirm the bug
still is there, and is making the notebook unusable. There's no 3D
acceleration available at all on this GPU with KMS disabled. When
playing a flash video it needs about 30 seconds fpr reaction if I clock
some control with the mouse. Compiz or DirectX in Wine aren't working at
all, and make the display crash. The GPU is wasting much energy and the
notebook is running very hot, and overall just sluggish and not
enjoyable in any fashion, I'd rather use my old Pentium M notebook, if
it wasn't defective.

Please consider creating a solution fot this problem, as there's no
single alternative for many Notebook owners, of expecially good
notebooks (Thinkpad, Dell and more).

Problems with KMS enabled remain as before:
-iwl3945 WLAN gets slower and slower, until disconnect.
-heavy video (especially fullscreen) make the sound stutter in a fashion that 
makes it impossible to understand spoken word

Thanks,

moving the mouse pointer is enough to disturb audio now, apparently. And

I get this on my Thinkpad T60, Radeon X1300 running debian sid.

As well as crackle on the internal intel audio, I get even worse crackle
and popping when using my Logitech V20 USB speakers.

The only thing that resolves the problem for me is:

echo mid  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

But then gnome-shell and all 3d apps are really slow.

developers use this channel as a information or judgment source of bugs.
As far as I know Ubuntu works on launchpad to administrate bugs.

For this problem I created https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/879790
in order to make Ubuntu know that problem. It may be an idea to make
some noise there in form of clicking on the button This bug

finally.

  Sometimes during audio playback, a kernel thread named [hd-audio0]
  will consume excessive amounts of CPU and cause  audio crackling. It
  seems to be more easily triggered when displaying video in fullscreen
  (or Rhythmbox visualizations) or dragging windows around while playing
  music, somehow relating it graphics operations (running default radeon
  driver with KMS and Compiz).
  
  This all started after moving from Ubuntu Karmic to Lucid (never had
  this problem before).
  
  Setting package to kernel, since it's probably alsa snd_hda_intel kernel
  module which is to blame.

How to most easily reproducce and verify the audio crackling:
1) Start gstreamer-properties and do a sound test. This produces a sound which 
very easily reveals crackling.
2) Fire up a web browser and watch a Youtube video in fullscreen with Flash 
plugin (low volume).
3) Listen to the sound of pop corn popping.

Mainline 2.6.34-rc6 has audio problems as well. While the radeon KMS
performance is a *lot* better than in Lucid 2.6.32-kernel, graphical
operations still sometimes cause audio skipping or slight crackling (for
instance, fullscreen Flash video playback has a tendency to provoke the
crackling).  In addition to that there are audio/video sync issues
caused by some ALSA updates
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15796), which makes it more
difficult to know if the problems are really the same as in standard
Lucid kernel.

I'm currently running snd-hda-intel module with options position_fix=1
bdl_pos_adj=0. This stops [hd-audio0] from showing up in top, but
audio still crackles when scrolling in Firefox (for instance) after
having used the desktop session for a while (more windows and apps open
= more graphical resource usage). So in-kernel audio driver is badly
affected by graphical operations, so much that it probably voids any
effect of setting higher priority on pulseaudio user-space process...

2010-05-04 Thread Øyvind Stegard
Tried snd-hda-intel option enable_msi=1, since I figured it might be
some IRQ issue. That didn't help.

So I noticed CPU0 was handling all interrupts occuring on my system (via
/proc/interrupts) for radeon and hda-intel modules. I altered the IRQ
affinity for hda-intel, so it would be handled on the other CPU, but
that did not help on the audio crackling either.

So it seems I'm properly stuck for now, unless someone can come up with
some other advice. Try newer kernel, perhaps ? Mainline PPA ?

[Bug 571770] Re: Thread [hd-audio0] consuming excessive amounts of CPU during audio playback

2010-05-03 Thread Øyvind Stegard
So far it looks like the module option bdl_pos_adj=0 is a work-around
for this issue.

Currently testing if position_fix=1 option to module snd-hda-intel
will help.

[Bug 571770] [NEW] Thread [hd-audio0] consuming excessive amounts of CPU during audio playback

2010-04-29 Thread Øyvind Stegard
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic

Sometimes during audio playback, a kernel thread named [hd-audio0]
will consume excessive amounts of CPU and cause  audio crackling. It
seems to be more easily triggered when displaying video in fullscreen
(or Rhythmbox visualizations) or dragging windows around while playing
music, somehow relating it graphics operations (running default radeon
driver with KMS and Compiz).

This all started after moving from Ubuntu Karmic to Lucid (never had
this problem before).

Setting package to kernel, since it's probably alsa snd_hda_intel kernel
module which is to blame.

Ubuntu 10.04 x86, Intel Core Duo 2GHz, 3GB RAM, ATI X1400 Radeon Mobility 
graphics.
Audio chip: Analog Devices AD1981 [HDA]

Attaching:
* Screenshot of top running over Rhythmbox w/fullscreen visualizations, showing 
[hd-audio0] consuming more CPU than everything else at the time (audio 
crackles).
* Output of lspci -vvnn
* Output of dmesg
* Contents of /proc/interrupts
* ALSA info, as provided by the alsa-info.sh script.
