Still having problem with thinkpad-acpi's BEEP and kernel > 2.6.30

[kionez]

Hi all,

today I try to build a brand new kernel 2.6.31, from gentoo ebuild.
I'm still having problems with BEEP generated by proc interface of
thinkpad_acpi, such the ones with .30 series wich I reported some weeks ago.

With 2.6.29 kernel everything works fine, sounds and beep are what you
can expect from internal speakers but if I use a .30 or .31 kernel the
beeps went away, without any reason.

The volumes are ok, bios, configurations, drivers, mixers and so on are
the same I'm using with .29..

with 2.6.29 if I do a:
# for i in `seq 0 17` ; do echo $i >/proc/acpi/ibm/beep; sleep 1;  done
I hear beeps, as usal ( and for example, if i unplug the power chord, it
sounds.. as ever..)

If i do that on .30 or .31, it doesn't sound. Nothing comes out from
internal speakers (or headphones).

The default beep (for example, when bash autocompletion as many options)
is present, only if enable CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP.

I also try to add, remove, switch, mix and everything i can do
CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR, CONFIG_SND_PCSP and the HDA_INPUT_BEEP
(I compile the kernel about 20times in two hours..)

I read everything i can found with google, seems that are many users
that have issues like this, but nobody say if it was resolved or some
like that...

So, is there anyone with kernel > 2.6.29.x with beep working? if yes,
coul'd you send me your kernel config and alsa config?

Is there some test that i can do to debug this strange situation? (is
pretty annoying..)

Thanks in advance.

k.

I can confirm this behavior.  I did some bisecting last weekend to
investigate why I lost the beep on my TP (before I noticed the new
beep mixer control... doh!) and tracked it down to the patches around
Feb. 6, particularly c5a4bcd0.  My guess is that the new handling of
beeps ("digital" instead of "analog" to use the patch terminology)
caused the (presumably "analog") beeps generated by the ACPI methods
to not generate any sound output.

I'm afraid I don't know much of anything about the PC speaker system,
so I can't suggest a good fix (other than using the new "digital" beep
instead - e.g. with beep(1)).  If the analog beeps are really
important to you, it should be possible to work out a patch which
would allow you to choose your preferred beep type (either at config
or runtime), but I don't yet know enough about it to suggest how.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Kevin

Thanks!  Can someone that is affected by this bug please report it to the
ALSA people.  Hiding the "analog beeps" in a thinkpad silences firmware
warnings, and that's NOT a good idea.

Done.  It is now reported as ALSA Issue 4725 and is viewable on their
bug tracker.[1]  I'll follow up with any progress on it.

Many thanks!! :)

I hope that they solves that in a little..

oh! sorry.. I forgot to report another quick test!

I've tried to boot with an Ubuntu 9.10 livecd, the thinkpad-acpi module
is loaded and everything seems working fine but the beeps aren't
available, neither with # echo $num > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep nor when i
detach the power adapter.

Hi,

are there any news? I just tried with the gentoo's 2.6.31-r4 (based on
vanilla 2.6.31.5) but the firmware beeps and thinkpad-acpi's ones are
still missing.

thanks!

PS: is there anyone with kernel > 2.6.30 and working beeps? (i.e.: the
beeps when you detach power chord).

Haven't been following this thread so I am not sure what you mean, but
on my t42 when I pull the power cord out it beeps.
a ~$ uname -r
2.6.31-ARCH

Nope, still no word from the ALSA folks about the bug.  You might have
some luck bringing it up on the alsa-devel mailing list.  If that
fails, I suppose you could always try to bribe one of them to take a
look at it.  ;)

It seems a good idea ;)

anyway, I'll try this way..but before I think is better to collect some
reports from other users. So, I'll post a CallForTester here and when I
have some reports, I'll go to whine at alsa-devel  :)

(I'll try to write a understandable email in a while, I'm not so able to
write in english)

thanks!

oh, interesting... In this thread I can't figure if is mine problem or
is an alsa issue.. but if your "firmware beeps" works fine, well.. i
suppose that's something wrong in my config... ;)

so, could you send me your kernel configuration, asound.state (usually
is stored by alsatool's alsactl in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state ) and
lsmod output (maybe dmesg is needless) ?

thanks!! :)

not sure where to find the kernel configuration, can you give me a hint?
It is a stock Arch linux kernel if that helps.

On a different note, what is the preferred way to send very long output like this, inline or as an attachment?

/etc/asound.state and lsmod below:

thanks!

If i remember correctly, default Arch kernel enables by default
CONFIG_IKCONFIG, so you should create a file in /tmp with

$ zcat /proc/config.gz > /tmp/config-$(uname -r)

and send it to my private email (in order to avoid spamming on the list ;) )

this evening I'll compare it with mine!

It is ALSA, and it is related to HDA audio, and not AC97 audio.  So you
should pay attention to success/failure reports only from ThinkPads with HDA
audio.  The T42 is AC97.

I believe we tracked it down to ALSA switching the HDA mixer+codec to
"digital beeps" or whatever, which is incompatible with the signal path used
by the firmware.

Damn! I read that he owns a T61..

I'll post a "poll" to collect some user reports, and then I'll post it
to alsa-devel.

I think is strange that nobody (out of there) noticed it before..

thanks for correction.. ;)
