[BUG] Dummy Outputs with SOF enabled using sof-hda-generic-1ch.tplg

Open stefdb opened this issue 7 months ago • 13 comments

Describe the bug Dummy Outputs with SOF enabled on an ASUS NUC with single speaker, meaning no speaker audio. The driver probes, and I can see the CS35L41 HDA driver is activated when trying to play back using aplay, but no audio is heard.

To Reproduce Boot the system with SOF enabled

Reproduction Rate 100% when SOF is loaded, it doesn't occur with SOF is disabled (by setting snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1).

Expected behavior Real outputs exist and playback works.

Impact No audio

Environment

  1. Branch name and commit hash of the 2 repositories: sof (firmware/topology) and linux (kernel driver).
    • Kernel: Linux version 6.15.0-sbinding ([email protected]) (gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.42) #108 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed May 28 14:04:59 BST 2025
    • SOF: 287d174806a369764c20894e234b63e8611873cd

@rfvirgil I assume this was what was discussed today ? Adding @bardliao and @ujfalusi

lgirdwood avatar Jun 09 '25 15:06 lgirdwood

@stefdb Can you share the output of alsaucm dump text?

bardliao avatar Jun 10 '25 02:06 bardliao

@stefdb, does aplay -Dhw:0,0 piano16b48k_long.wav plays out correctly?

  • As @bardliao already asked, what is the output of alsaucm dump text ?
  • can you attach the output of alsa-info.sh --no-upload as well (when SOF is enabled)
  • can you also attach the output of aplay -lL and arecord -lL with SOF enabled and SOF disabled?
  • can you also attach aplay -Dhw:0,0 -fdat --dump-hw-params /dev/zero for both SOF enabled and disabled?

According to the manual I can find, this NUC have a single Headphone/Headset/Microphone jack as audio, no mention about DMIC, but the ACPI table reports this. ALC294+cs35l41 is the setup, right?

The hardware probing is identical in both cases, I don't see what goes wrong. If direct aplay works then this is likely an UCM issue, what is the version of alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-ucm-conf, pipewire, wireplumber.

Hi,

Looks like aplay -Dhw:0,0 piano16b48k_long.wav does play audio, even with SOF enabled. Our previous test doing this failed, because the Speaker Switch was muted with SOF enabled, (and not with it disabled) and I didn't notice at the time, though we still have Dummy Outputs in the UI.

I've attached the logs requested.

It is the 1ch which confuses PW (ucm), I can reproduce it easily by: options snd_sof tplg_filename=sof-hda-generic-cavs25-1ch.tplg on upx-i11 for example, switching to -2ch and all is good.

ujfalusi avatar Jun 12 '25 07:06 ujfalusi

@singalsu do you have any hints on why ucm get's confused by -1ch? You have added these -1ch hda topology targets.

ujfalusi avatar Jun 12 '25 07:06 ujfalusi

Wow, thanks for report @ujfalusi ! I'll check what happens.

singalsu avatar Jun 12 '25 08:06 singalsu

I can replicate the issue with Ubuntu 25.04.

Looks like wireplumber have issues with mono capture? -2ch
