Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

How about applying the snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 parameter instead? The journal message suggested that and the "1" option is described as "legacy" so might be appropriate for your ageing hardware.

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Does this look right?

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="snd_hda_intel_dmic_detect=1"

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

No, that's the old option but there should be a dot between the module name and the option, you have an underscore.

Copy & paste the new parameter from my last post to avoid transcription errors (just copy the inline code block, nothing else).

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

How about this?  Not sure if I need the quotation marks

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1"

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

I'm beginning to suspect you are winding me up :-)

EDIT: I refer the right honourable gentleman to the answer I gave earlier

No, I really don't know what I'm doing

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

My humble apologies MarkW, it's quite late here and I misread your post. I am genuinely sorry for being such a wise ass, tiredness is my only excuse and it's a poor one.

Your last suggestion was indeed correct, go ahead and apply it.

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Oh dear, perhaps the card is just plain broken after all.

Double check the applied parameters with this command:

cat /proc/cmdline

EDIT: and also

cat /sys/module/snd_intel_dspcfg/parameters/dsp_driver

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

At this point it almost seems like a hardware issue, but to truly tell I think more info is needed, is the OS BunsenLabs? As I don't see that mentioned.

Off the top of my head, I think what I would do now, is boot a live-USB/DVD of something and see if you're having the same problem. And I would do it with something that does not use Pulse or Pipe or any sound server, start with pure ALSA so as not to have any additional layers that might confuse the issue.

Bunsenlabs Boron.

I'll try the live-USB boot

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

It's hardware.  No idea what though.

Loose cable, maybe?  Damaged chip?
