[Solved] Sound doesn't work after migrating archlinux32 to new hardw..

v7 · 2019-03-18 09:02:50

After changing a hardware and booting up same operating system(archlinux32) on it the sound doesn't work at all. On old hardware it worked well.

When migrated:

1. Booted up a live ISO
2. Ran `mkinitcpio -p linux`
3. Updated /etc/fstab
4. Reinstalled grub

After booting everything works fine except sound.
Also pulseaudio and alsa-utils are installed.

It may be clarifying to see the output of 'journalctl -b|grep -i audio' (you probably need to sudo this or otherwise run it as root).

At the moment, I'm not seeing any error that might indicate what's going on here. I wonder also, if you fancy doing a little more testing, whether sound works from a booted up live iso. I forget at present what's installed there, but there should be something you can use to make a noise.

Thank you for your participation, but already found a solution:

Some good person on IRC channel #archlinux32 helped telling that a solution might be an option for snd-hda-intel kernel module: model=6stack or model=6stack-digout.

So, after reloading this module with option everything worked:

modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel model=6stack

This might be a bug in kernel, so it loads this module without a proper option and, also, a patch doesn't work for that motherboard.

Although, adding this option manually to /etc/modprobe.d/ will tell system to load this module with this option every next boot:

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=6stack" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sound_fix.conf

Good to hear it's all worked out for you. Sometimes around these parts it's considered best practice to mark fixed issues as 'solved' in the thread title. I at least would kind of appreciate it if you did that now you've found the solution.

Yes, you're right, but it seems more that it's not a solution, but workaround. Although, marked.
