Speakers (unavailable) [Solved]

[walterbe]

Hi,

I am using this mini PC since a couple of years with MX Linux.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001222870244.html

Worked fine out of the box with MX Linux 19.1 up to 19.4 what I am using now.

When I upgraded to 21 the build in speaker did not worked anymore. Same with 21.1 and now 21.2. - Because 19.4 is starting to get old and waiting until it just works 'out of the box' does not seem to do it I would like the advice of the community of how I can get my speaker working.

It is just a small thing bu that low quality build in speaker I actually use it and wishes it to work. Audio in general does work. The sound card 'PCH: HDA-Intel shows up and works. I have audio when I use a bluetooth device. It is just in the internal speaker (and microphone) that is listed in the device menu but not available.

At the moment version 21.2 is a live-boot. I would be great full for advice to get this working.

This is the Quick System Info from my current working 19.4 install - (below this is the one of the 21.2 version where the speaker does not work);

[Huckleberry Finn]

On live session you can play with "Alsamixer" from menu. F6 select card (select 0 ... Intel rather than "Default" , then press F5 (all) then play with the bars, any item may be muted though it looks at max. , you can unmute/mute with the M key from keyboard)

Also you can see what happens with antiX 4.19 kernel from MX Package Installer - Popular Apps tab (as the driver version is the kernel, though they look the same and loaded). However on live session, after the kernel installation you need to run "MX RemasterCC" then "MX Live Usb Kernel Updater" to make it permanent, then reboot with that.

Thanks for the advice.

I checked Alsamixer out. Nothing weird going on there. Was able to select the non-default, tried the settings. That was not it.
I installed the 4.19 kernel and made a new live boot.

Makes not difference but I see the 4.19 kernel is not used actually.

Boot Mode: UEFI

I also tried when booting from the live session with at the advanced settings the 'failsave' option. When I booted in 'failsafe' the speaker worked. I got sound while loading in to the desktop. I checked the system info in failsafe mode and it was also using the current 5.18 kernel. So the speaker can work with it.

This is the 'system info' from the live boot in 'failsafe' mode;

You get to select the new kernel in grub when you are booting, going into advanced. It auto boots on the default kernel. You can change that in the boot options later on if you find the new one working better.

[walterbe]

I was not able to find in the menus of the live boot an option to select a specific kernel. But when I am booted in the live version I did run the installed tool 'Live USB kernel updater'.

I was able to switch over to the antiX 4.19 kernel. I am now booted in the version and I am using indeed 4.19. And I have sound, the speaker works.

So it seems that when I do a real install it will work if I use kernel 4.19. But when I booted in 'failsafe' with 5.18 it worked also.

[Eadwine Rose]

Ah in the liveboot. In any case, glad you found it. You can make whatever changes you wish to keep permanent in the MX Boot Options settings.

Maybe someone still has an idea what that failsafe actually did, might be a cleaner solution, maybe.

[Huckleberry Finn]

I did run the installed tool 'Live USB kernel updater'.

I thought you already did that:

...However on live session, after the kernel installation you need to run "MX RemasterCC" then "MX Live Usb Kernel Updater" to make it permanent, then reboot with that.

... using indeed 4.19. And I have sound, the speaker works.

So it seems that when I do a real install it will work if I use kernel 4.19.

Yes.

Failsafe Boot
In addition to forcing safe video, also load all drivers early in the boot process.

So, just install MX 21.2 AHS and :

Code: Select all

echo -e 'snd_hda_intel\n\nloop' | sudo tee /etc/modules

try the sound when rebooted with 5.18 .


If stll not: Till you find a solution, make the 4.19 default with "MX Boot Options" - "Boot to" menu.

(Of course you can also try 5.10 to be more up-to-date)

[walterbe]

Thanks for the help everyone. Looks like I will be able to mange this way. Install will be for tomorrow. It is getting late here at lang=nl_BE

[Eadwine Rose]

Sleep well zuiderbuur (southern neighbor) :) and good luck!

[Arskeliss7496]

I don't really understand this stuff, but I was checking out how does persistence working on pendrive and when I only used root persistence and logged in to root, there was no sound available. But when I switched back to demo account, the sound was working just fine. Can't explain why!
