HDA driver detects onboard chip but produces no sound

[adamk]

The HDA driver seems to have recently been extended to support my intel sound chip, but I'm not getting any audio output from any of the four ports (2 in the rear, two in the front).

hdac0@pci0:0:27:0:	class=0x040300 card=0x01c11028 chip=0x269a8086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Enterprise Southbridge High Definition Audio'
    class      = multimedia
    subclass   = HDA

What's more, I do not get any sound from the SB Live! in my box if I leave the HDA enabled in the BIOS. And, yes, I've tried switching to the emuxki driver via the Media preferences (it selected the HDA by default).

I will attach three serial debug logs. One will be haiku-emuxki.txt. This is the log file from when the hda is disabled and the SB Live! works just fine. Next will be haiku-hda.txt. This is with the Live! removed, the HDA enabled in the bios, but no audio from any application. Then haiku-hda-emuxki.txt. This is with the hda enabled, the Live! in the machine, and no idea. It starts with the hda detected by default, and I tested all four jacks to see if I get any audio from the hda device. Nothing worked. I then went into the Media preferences, selected the emuxki device, and restarted the Media server. Tested, but no audio from the Live! either.

Do you own an Intel Mac ?

[adamk]

Negative. This is a Dell Precision 490.

Just wanted to say that this is still not working as of hrev33118. The hda driver detects the device, but refuses to make any noise :-)

OpenSound works fine, fwiw.

Could you try to use headphones ? I've got similar problem on intel chipset, i thought it doesn't produce sound at all, but on headphones it's working ok

[adamk]

I had previously tried my speakers in all the jacks on the front and back of my computer, to no avail. After your suggestion, I specifically tried a set of headphones in the headphone jack on the front, and that also didn't work.

[adamk]

FYI, the hda still doesn't work as of hrev34760. But, at least at this point, the emuxki works even when the hda is enabled in the BIOS (previously I'd get no output from either device if the hda driver was loaded).

Serial debug log of hrev39648

Still broken as of hrev39648, 20 months after opening the bug :-)

Currently without audio due to this bug and ​http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6849 .

I know that FreeBSD lets you change various device driver options for snd_hda via devices.hints:

​http://miroirs.cesars.org/man/pages/FreeBSD-8-current/man/man4/snd_hda.4.txt

I believe the same is true for Linux, via module parameters. Though I've never had to adjust them on either of those platforms, is there a way to play with those options on Haiku? Perhaps that's all I need to do. I'm going to attach the verbose kernel output from freebsd as it pertains to hdac and pcm.

Replying to adamk:

Went to ​kernel/drivers/audio/hda and looked for that, as I have an interest in this driver too, but it seemingly adjusts all its parameters automatically, none are read from a config/file.

Still broken as of hrev42764

[adamk]

Same with hrev42873

[adamk]

Same with hrev43690 :-)

Adam, are you setup for compiling the driver ? If yes, you might want to experiment with the 'trick' that worked for me in #8270 (modifying lines 1040-1041 of hda_codec.cpp), on the (pretty wild) chance that it might improve things for you...

I'm having this same issue in hrev43728. Relevant listdev output:

Same issue here on my Thinkpad T420s (hrev44116), no sound is produced...
