Audio over display port not detected? #24

Closed cboettig closed 9 years ago

cboettig commented 9 years ago

With an external monitor connected over the displayport connection, I still only see "Speakers Built-in Audio" under sound settings. Has anyone else tested this?

Running Ubuntu 15.04 with BIOS A04 on XPS 13 dev edition.

soren121 commented 9 years ago

Are you using PulseAudio? It shows up for me in pavucontrol. I've tested it with an HDMI display and it works fine.

Yup. Tried with pavucontrol too but no luck...

Can you run pacmd list and attach the output here?

That's strange. ALSA isn't recognizing the digital sound card.

Let's do a sanity check first to make sure the hardware isn't faulty. lspci -v should list two audio devices: " Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller" and "Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller". Both devices should be using the _snd_hdaintel kernel module.

If that's all correct, refer to this wiki page and see if any of the suggestions work for you: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture/Troubleshooting

cboettig commented 9 years ago

Yup, both of those devices are listed and are using sdn_hda_intel. Looking at the wiki now...

Not sure where to start there. I note that aplay -l doesn't list the displayport either. Strangely, alsamixer fails to run (even as root); gives the error cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

Maybe something borked your ALSA config.

  1. Check what sound modules ALSA loaded: cat /proc/asound/modules. It should have only loaded _snd_hdaintel twice.
  2. Try this: http://askubuntu.com/a/294845/56905
cboettig commented 9 years ago

Hm, looks like maybe it is loaded only once?

$ cat /proc/asound/modules
 1 snd_hda_intel

I've tried that askubuntu answer already. alsamixer is in my path, but gives that error above. Neither of the conf files ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf exist, and purge and reinstall didn't help either.

It's weird because sound and microphone are working perfectly through the laptop speakers, it's just that the displayport speakers aren't being recognized.

cboettig commented 9 years ago

Hmm, after installing a recent set of kernel updates pushed to Ubuntu 15.04, alsamixer now runs as expected and I can see the displayport monitor sound in my sound devices. Yay, all fixed I guess.
