I am running an up to date Cauldron and the sound does not work.

I am following the dev email list and have tried some of the tricks mentioned in that thread to no avail. I added "snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0" to the default in grub:

Code: Select all: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet noiswmd resume=UUID=218fef6e-2e07-4279-a876-fa5accb2d1f3 audit=0 vga=788 snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=false GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=n GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Mageia GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=auto GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

That did not help at all.
The system does recognize the hardware as evidenced by lspci

A few months ago this hardware was running Mga7 with no sound issues, so I don't think it is a hardware failure.

Anybody have any ideas about what to try next?

Thanks

I had the same problem on my old Acer laptop. Finally gave up and switched to pulse audio and it works perfectly. As in your case, using pipewire it showed no input/output devices.

Thanks for the tip. I don't know much about the sound system. How do I switch to PulseAudio?

I attempted once again to install pa-switcher, and this time I ignored the warnings and plowed ahead to see what would happen.

So the installation failed, as predicted.

I tried a manual installation as described in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31507, which amounts to copying the two scripts into /usr/local/bin.

Then I tried to run the pa-switcher script.

Apparently, I cannot get any of this to work.

I still do not have sound, and pa-switcher is DOA.

I am somewhat surprised at the switch to pipewire as the default sound system when it does not work and is extremely difficult to get rid of.

If I were installing mga9 on my operational computer, this would be a show-stopper problem. The computer I am installing this on is my experimental system, so it isn't that important right now. Is this going to be fixed prior to the official mga9 release?

Are there any other ideas about how I can get the sound to work? The wiki has the details about how to go from pulseaudio to pipwire, but not how to go the other way.

by **banjo** » Mar 13th, '23, 22:38

Still digging around trying to figure out why there is no sound.

According to the wiki, pipewire and pipewire-pulse are daemons. So I thought I would look to see if they are running.

Code: Select all: [root@BSKQuadCore:~]# systemctl --type=service --state=running UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION acpid.service loaded active running ACPI Event Daemon alsa-state.service loaded active running Manage Sound Card State (restore and store) avahi-daemon.service loaded active running Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack chronyd.service loaded active running NTP client/server crond.service loaded active running Command Scheduler cups.service loaded active running CUPS Scheduler dbus.service loaded active running D-Bus System Message Bus gpm.service loaded active running Console Mouse manager irqbalance.service loaded active running irqbalance daemon ModemManager.service loaded active running Modem Manager NetworkManager.service loaded active running Network Manager partimaged.service loaded active running LSB: Partition Image Server polkit.service loaded active running Authorization Manager preload.service loaded active running LSB: Adaptive readahead daemon rtkit-daemon.service loaded active running RealtimeKit Scheduling Policy Service sddm.service loaded active running Simple Desktop Display Manager sensord.service loaded active running Sensor Information Logging smb.service loaded active running Samba SMB Daemon sshd.service loaded active running OpenSSH server daemon systemd-journald.service loaded active running Journal Service systemd-logind.service loaded active running User Login Management systemd-udevd.service loaded active running Rule-based Manager for Device Events and Files udisks2.service loaded active running Disk Manager upower.service loaded active running Daemon for power management user@1001.service loaded active running User Manager for UID 1001 wpa_supplicant.service loaded active running WPA Supplicant daemon xinetd.service loaded active running Xinetd A Powerful Replacement For Inetd LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type. 27 loaded units listed. lines 5-33/33 (END)

It looks like they are not. So I thought that I would check on their status.

Code: Select all: [root@BSKQuadCore:/home/brian/Mageia9/SoundFailure]# systemctl status pipewire Unit pipewire.service could not be found. [root@BSKQuadCore:/home/brian/Mageia9/SoundFailure]# systemctl status pipewire-pulse Unit pipewire-pulse.service could not be found.

They apparently don't exist. And yet, according to inxi, PipeWire is running.

No pipewire in there.

I must be missing something.

The script worked, I ran it twice.

by **banjo** » Mar 14th, '23, 22:16

I tried everything I could think of to get the script to install, and I could not get past the errors. There appears to be an incompatibility with the packages, and my system will not install it.

See my post of March 13 to see what I have tried so far to get the script working.

At this point, I think there may be a problem in pipewire, and it would be interesting to trouble shoot what is going on. If a clean install of Mag9 causes sound to fail with all these headaches, that might be a concern for the release.

I don't know what might have broken the system. I installed the alpha version and then did the updates. I haven't even installed many of the apps yet, much less fooled around with the system.

Here is the media list.

The system got those out of Mirror List except for the Google Chrome, which I added myself.

First: you have done a beginner mistake by using "su" instead of "su -"
Have a read: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Never_use_just_su

Second: you are still using mirrorlist instead of a defined mirror.

Third: If your output from 13th still applies you have still problems on your system. It tries to install zenity-3.32.0-2.mga8.x86_64 instead of the MGA9 version. Wut?

As already said: on a properly maintained (not broken with su and other stuff) up to date cauldron system, pa-switcher installs fine.

I'd use a tier 1 mirror. Kernel is up to 6.2.6 now and I noticed it installed 6.2.2

Yep, this is what i already mentioned. As cauldron user this should be known as it is mentioned on the wiki site...

But the last output from banjo shows that it installs kernel 6.2.6

There is still something fishy with this system. The output from March 13th shows that it tries to install zenity from MGA8 instead the actual MGA9 package...

First: you have done a beginner mistake by using "su" instead of "su -"

I have aliased "su" to "su --login" so that I don't have to type in all that stuff every time I run it. What is running when I type "su" is "su --login".

Code: Select all: [brian@BSKQuadCore ~]$ alias alias cd..='cd ..' alias cp='cp -i' alias d='ls' alias df='df -h -x supermount' alias du='du -h' alias egrep='egrep --color' alias fgrep='fgrep --color' alias grep='grep -i' alias home='cd ~' alias l='ls' alias la='ls -a' alias ll='ls -l' alias locate='locate -ib' alias ls='ls --color=never' alias lsd='ls -d */' alias mag9='cd /home/brian/Mageia9' alias mc='. /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh' alias md='mkdir' alias mv='mv -i' alias p='cd -' alias rd='rmdir' alias rm='rm -i' alias rust='cd ~/rust' alias s='cd ..' alias su='su --login' alias up='cd ../'

I did not notice that it tried to install a mag8 version of zenity. I installed it from the MCC. I just opened the MCC and there it is, zenity 3.32.0 2.mga8.

The other applications show up as mga9.

Very strange. That could explain why the pa-switcher isn't installing. If the MCC has mga8 zenity instead of mga9 where do I get the mga9 version? Is this a problem with the mirror that I am using?

I'd use a tier 1 mirror. Kernel is up to 6.2.6 now and I noticed it installed 6.2.2

I looked at my log for my most recent update, and it installed 6.2.6.

Code: Select all: kernel-desktop 6.2.6 1.mga9 x86_64 kernel-desktop-latest 6.2.6 1.mga9 x86_64 kernel-userspace-headers 6.2.6 1.mga9 x86_64

I don't know where you saw that it installed 6.2.2.

Suggestion for a better mirror?

I am not aware of which mirrors are tier 1 mirrors. Please educate me. I am trying to learn how this system is stitched together.

Have a look at https://mirrors.mageia.org/ - everything that has rsync.mageia.org as source is a tier 1 mirror.

doktor5000,

Thanks for the link to the mirrors page. I had misplaced it. It is now bookmarked again.

Since my system is using https://mirrors.mageia.org/mirrors/mirr ... nceton.edu it looks like I am using a tier 1 mirror after all.

I have no clue why the zenity mga8 would show up in the repository, or where I might get the mga9 version.

I did notice that I have not enabled the tainted repository. Maybe that would cause an issue with the sound system. I am guessing.

At this point I am more interested in finding out how it works and what is wrong with it than I am in getting the sound to work.

The search goes on.

That diagram is partly broken. ftp.acc.umu.se have no input arrow.
( I know it updates quickly, probably a tier one, and i think an earlier version of that page showed it so)

And text describe red and blue arrows - all i can see are black.

For some other information, also check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mirrors_poli ... al_sources

Also see https://mirrors.mageia.org/status to see when a mirror was last updated.
(note that when there is no update for long, all mirrors may look "old")
