no sound after kernel upgrade 5.9.15 –> 5.10.10
« on: 2021/01/25, 11:38:41 »

After kernel upgrade 5.9.15 –> 5.10.10 ALSA-sound does not work anymore.

Booted with kernel 5.9.15 the sound is still ok.

Asus notebook
Audio:     Device-1: Intel 7 Series/C216 Family High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
               Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.9.15-towo.1-siduction-amd64

I don't have the exact same -
Audio:     Device-1: Intel 100 Series/C230 Series Family HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel

but my audio does come through, so there's nothing generic there.
What do you get when you run speaker-test?

It's not showing an error, then. Good.
Have you checked on alsamixer and the Advanced Audio test in System Settings? I can't imagine why they might not be right since the sound does work with a different kernel, but it's worth a look.
Oh, was there a problem with your upgrade? Your output shows the sound server for 5.9.15, is there nothing for 5.10.10? What's the inxi -A output when booting with 5.10.10?

inxi won't tell you much. Use the alsa-info script. Get one info from the 5.9 kernel and one from 5.10

@Xaver

Have you tested whether the sound is output via the headphone jack?

Currently I also have no sound over the laptop speakers, but it works via the headphone jack, USB sound card and Bluetooth.

My last d-u is from today. But I did not test if the sound through the speakers still worked before the d-u.
However, the sound over the speakers still worked at the beginning of last week.

It came today the kernel 5.10.10 but I do not think it is because of the kernel. Even with the previous kernel 5.10.9, the sound no longer works, which worked before.

I had the same problem some time ago.

My solution was:
Deletion of all files and folders related to Pulseaudio in my home directory and reboot.

good luck

This morning my speakers are working. But I did nothing more for it yesterday on the laptop.

In the evening I sent my laptop to standby as usual and did not shut it down.

So I restarted my laptop and the speakers did not work. After a short standby and wake up the speakers work again.

But why  ???

I have now installed kernel 5.10.9 – sound does not work either.
.
inxi output looks ok:

Audio:     Device-1: Intel 7 Series/C216 Family High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
           Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.10.9-towo.2-siduction-amd64
.
For some reason kernels 5.10.xy and my hardware do not cooperate.
.
There is no 'Advanced Audio Test' on my system. Which package does contain it?

System Settings -> Audio -> Advanced -> Speaker Placement and Testing.

@ pip
menu 'System Settings -> Audio -> Advanced -> Speaker Placement and Testing' is specific to your desktop
On my Openbox system it does not exist.

my guess: your menu leads to AudMeS

On my system AudMeS works fine with kernel 4.9.15
It does not work with kernels 5.10.9 and 5.10.10

So I shall stay with kernel 5.9.15 and hope, that kernel 5.11 will be ok again.

16 months later I have finally discovered the reason by checking the alsa installation of Refracta 11.

Since kernel 5.10 the packages 'alsa-topology-conf' and 'alsa-ucm-conf' are needed for sound output !!!

Funny this should come up today as I've had a no sound issue after a recent update. Weird thing is I discovered it in Freetuxtv. Video was fine but no sound. Sound worked from the browser and Parole though. I then discovered no sound with VLC as well. In VLC I went to Tools-Preferences-Audio and specifically selected alsa as the output module. Restarted VLC and freetuxtv and sound magically works now. For some reason VLC isn't finding alsa automatically.

Bei mir das selbe. Vor einiger Zeit gab es ein update zu vlc. Seitdem geht vlc nur noch ohne Sound. Mplayer usw. gehen problemlos, nur vlc hat keinen Ton :(
