[CALL FOR TESTING] users of hda-intel, thinkpad-acpi and kernel > 2.6.30

[kionez]

Hi,

seems that with new ALSA version ( starting frm kernel 2.6.30) we loose
the beep functionality on our thinkpads. Probably, as Henrique de Moraes
Holschuh write in this ML, is related to "ALSA switching the HDA
mixer+codec to "digital beeps" or whatever, which is incompatible with
the signal path used by the firmware." [1]

I would like to collect some test in order to report them to alsa-devel
mailing list.

So, make sure that:

- you have an hda-itel soundcard (according to thinkwiki these chips are
 installed into R/T/X/Z 60 [2] and R/T/X/Z 61 [3] )
- the laptop is running on AC power (and not on battery power)
- thinkpad-acpi is correctly loaded into kernel
- alsa mixer and volumes are set correctly (i.e.: Beep is not mute)

then, the first test:

Try to generate simply three beeps with thinkpad-acpi:

# echo 2 > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep

as root, or with sudo

$ sudo sh -c 'echo 2 > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep'

and now the second one:

Try to detach power chord, in order to produce the two firmware beeps
that notify the switch from powerline to battery.

Please report here the results of two test ( do you ear beeps? :P ) ,
the distribution you're using and kernel version ( $ uname -a ).

Many thanks for collaboration :)

Please report here the results of two test ( do you ear beeps? :P ) ,
the distribution you're using and kernel version ( $ uname -a ).

No, I can't hear any beep in any case.

BTW I've found strange this output:

I forgot to ask you to report the thinkpad model! :|

anyway..

No beeps here, T61 with gentoo. tested many kernels from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31.5

This causes some faint clicks, but nothing like a beep.

This does not cause any sound to be emitted.

In both cases I hear the beeps. HAL is not running.

I'm using Debian Sid with a vanilla 2.6.32-rc5-00468-g1836d95.

Thanks, i forgot to asking what thinkpad do you own!

There's a post in ML archive that reports a T500, is it correct?

Thanks for taking the time to gather this info.  I'm sure the ALSA
crew will appreciate having some idea of the impact this change
has/will have.

Conducting this test on a T60p (2613-ESU), results observed on
2.6.31, 2.6.31.3, 2.6.31.5 kernels (and several 2.6.30, but I don't
recall exact versions) from kernel.org without any sound-related
patches applied, using Debian testing.

Produces three beeps.

Works---produces firmware beeps.

No sound for either of the above tests, although tab completion does
produce beep.

I get a beep beep, beep, with a slight pause between beeps 2 and 3, and I get the normal ThinkPad BE-doop when removing the power supply.

Same results for two different distributions:
Fedora 12 Snap 3 LiveCD, kernel: 2.6.31-23.f12.i686
Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop 32-bit LiveCD, kernel: 2.6.31-14.generic

Machine is a ThinkPad T60 with a Core Duo CPU. Model 2623-D7U.

Interesting!  I would have thought, for sure, that you would be
affected by this bug.  We have very similar systems (hardware and
software), so it could be a great point of comparison for tracking
down some more specifics of the bug.  Would you be willing to do some
more diagnosis?

I have attempted to match my configuration to yours and test.  Using
the 2.6.30-2-686 linux-image package and the alsa-base package from
testing, I still can't produce beeps.  Do you have any custom module
options for the ALSA modules, or any custom kernel/alsa packages that
might be relevant?

I'm kinda shooting in the dark here, but some questions that I think
may be relevant:
Do you have any other sound card connected (USB, PCMCIA, dock, etc.)?
Is the beep volume affected by the beep mixer control?
When you generate beeps using /proc/acpi/ibm/beep, is anything printed
to syslog/dmesg?  I am getting the following message (only with this
kernel version, I assume it was fixed for 2.6.31, and I'm not sure if
it is relevant):

ACPI Warning (nspredef-0290): \_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BEEP: Excess arguments - needs 1, found 2 [20090320]

Also, if you could reproduce some or all of the following information,
we can compare:

[Robert Tomsick]

I've got a ThinkPad X61s, and I can confirm this issue.

Kernel:
        Linux crow 2.6.31.4-rthink-grsec #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 16:09:38 GMT 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux

The kernel is 2.6.31.4 from Ubuntu 9.10 sources with all Ubuntu patches
applied, plus my own patchset (which consists of grsecurity, a couple
minor scheduler/timer tweaks, and the unused SATA ports poweroff patch).
Nothing that I've patched should affect ALSA AFAIK.


Distribution:
        Ubuntu 9.04 -- I installed a minimal package set and built up the
system from there.  Pretty much everything came from the Ubuntu repos.


Tests:

Both tests failed (i.e. no beeps.)

Let me know if you need anything else.

-Rob

Please ignore the 'beep needs 2 arguments' nonsense thinkpad-acpi logs.  It
is utterly harmless, and I have already fixed it on newer versions.

I got another report from a friend of mine:

lenovo thinkpad r61 with ubuntu 9.10
Linux calinos 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC
2009 i686 GNU/Linux

no beeps!


tomorrow I'll try to build a table with your reports, and I'll try to
find a way, seems that some *60 works fine (but I don't have time at the
moment to read carefully every mail.. sorry :) )
