No audio HW detected on Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8500 CPU based install

Describe the issue you are experiencing

Homeassistant audio component does not detect audio HW on my Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8500 CPU based system.

When I query for audio hardware with ha audio infocommand, following response is generated;

audio:
  application: []
  card: []
  input: []
  output:
  - applications: []
    card: null
    default: true
    description: Dummy Output
    index: 0
    mute: false
    name: auto_null
    volume: 0.989990234375
host: 172.30.32.4
update_available: false
version: 2023.04.1
version_latest: 2023.04.1

In home assistant web UI all audio related sections show "Dummy Audio" as follows

audio-problem

I've previously installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and it detected audio hardware just fine.

Then installed Debian 11.7.0 and it did not detect the audio HW but installing non-opensource intel drivers and libraries solved the problem.

Are there any way to update audio drivers in HAOS ?

What operating system image do you use?

generic-x86-64 (Generic UEFI capable x86-64 systems)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

10.1

Did you upgrade the Operating System.

Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue

Just install HA on Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8500 CPU based system (my device is Beelink T4)

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

no logs related to audio hardware

Anything in the Host logs that might be useful for us?

my Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8500 CPU based system

The CPU does not really say what audio hardware in your system, that mainly depends on the motherboard. What exact system is that?

yildiraymeric commented 1 year ago

You are right, my mistake, it is "intel SST Audio Device", I thought whole system is some kind of SOC.

Hm, seems Linux support is not existing for that sound device: https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:8086-22a8-8086-7270

Is Audio working on other Linux distributions?

agners commented 1 year ago

Oh I see:

I've previously installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and it detected audio hardware just fine.

Then installed Debian 11.7.0 and it did not detect the audio HW but installing non-opensource intel drivers and libraries solved the problem.

I'd rather prefer not to ship closed source binaries with HAOS :cold_sweat:

I totally agree with you, but is there a way of installing those packages by users later on?

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-intel-sound

I think this package might solve the problem

j1nx commented 1 year ago

Not sure, but maybe the soundcard is supported by SOF.

https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/

Might need some additional kernel modules though.

github-actions[bot] commented 1 year ago

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. To keep our backlog manageable we have to clean old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant OS version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

I'm having a similar issue with a mini PC (Intel Celeron) that doesn't detect the audio card. The kernel reports

So, I thought to myself "I know Linux, I can fix it!". I've gotten access to the host, and I have the firmware files ready, but I can't copy them into /lib/firmware because the file-system is read-only.

I absolutely get that you don't want to ship binary blobs, but can we at least get some way of installing them ourselves when needed?

Edit

I copied the firmware files into /mnt/data/supervisor/firmware/intel/* and the firmware error is now gone. I still get that same error as OP with the missing snd/control:
