how to compile and install driver from github? cd, mkdir, make build not installing

https://github.com/egorenar/snd-hda-codec-cs8409

It's not so trivial. I recommend you to install the driver using the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS).

You need to install dkms together with the linux-headers (replace the version of the headers to match your kernel version):

# apt-get install dkms linux-headers-5.16.0-1-amd64

Download the tarball:

$ wget https://github.com/egorenar/snd-hda-codec-cs8409/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

and extract the content (you'll need to install unzip first):

$ unzip master.zip

Enter the directory:

$ cd snd-hda-codec-cs8409-master

Create the dkms.conf file inside of the extracted source code directory. For example:

PACKAGE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/kernel/driver/updates
AUTOINSTALL=yes

This example identifies a kernel module named snd_hda_codec_cs8409 with version 1.0.

As root, copy the kernel module source code into the /usr/src/ directory:

# mkdir /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0
# cp -Rv . /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0

In the above commands, the name of the folder must be:  <PACKAGE_NAME> - <PACKAGE_VERSION>

Add the kernel module to the dkms tree so that it is tracked by if:

# dkms add -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409

Build the kernel module using dkms:

# dkms build -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409 -v 1.0

Install the kernel module using dkms:

# dkms install -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409 -v 1.0

The modprobe command can be used to load it:

# modprobe snd_hda_codec_cs8409

Validate the kernel module is loaded:

$ lsmod | grep snd_hda_codec_cs8409

Good luck!

Re: No Sound ALSA

aitor nice documentation

before saw your post i used the git fork https://github.com/mac-repo-001/snd-hda-codec-cs8409 and followed readme instructions
git clone
cd
make
make install
reboot

in backports 5.18 launch alsamixer I switched from pulseaudio (default) to HDI Intel PCH
chip output back to: Cirris Logic Generic from previous Cirris Logic 8490

now has a new volume next to PCM volume, <Internal Mic Boost> both 100% umuted

no sound either 5.18 backport or stable 5.10.0.18

deleted snd-8409 dir, alsamixer still same cirris logic generic, no documentation on uninstalling correctly

Now following your documentation

when creating dkms.conf in 8409-master dir it turn into a brown folder package
cd into 8409 dir

touch dkms.conf

nano dkms.conf

PACKAGE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/kernel/driver/updates
AUTOINSTALL=yes

on save it turn into a dkms.conf package not file

sudo dkms add -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409 and sudo dkms add -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409-master
give error

Error! Arguments <module> and <module-version> are not specified
Usage: add <module>/<module-version> or
       add -m <module>/<module-version> or
       add -m <module> -v <module-version>

Pay attention to what I said:

The name of the folder must be:  <PACKAGE_NAME> - <PACKAGE_VERSION>

Althogh there isn't any debian package here. So, the uncompressed tarball must be copied to /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0 or whatever name and version you wish. But they should match those given in the dkms.conf file:

PACKAGE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
...

BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION is the subdirectory containing the source and the Makefile. It might be src/ in some common cases.

All the steps worked for me.

Re: No Sound ALSA

inexperienced linux user here, much learn i have do

package tar had been correctly installed to /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0 and dkms.conf tar matches original tar.

name of folder is snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0

there is no subdirectory inside /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0 which has source code and tar, nor inside original.

The icon confuses you. It's not a compressed tarball. It's just a plain text file. The icon looking like a package is due to the content of the first line beginning with PACKAGE_NAME=blah_blah_blah.

Move the line:

BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409

to the top file, and the icon changes.

Nope. The location is right. This variable is not an absolute path (note that it hasn't a forward slash at the beginning), but a relative path (relative to /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0/ where the tarball has been uncompressed). And it's the path to the Makefile, which is located in the parent directory.

In some cases, for example, you can find the Makefile in

/usr/src/<name>-<version>/src/Makefile

Hence, the variable would be BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./src

If I'm not mistaken smile

Try deleting it (but don't remove the content of the folder):

and then add, build and install it again. Via dkms add/build/install

Yes.

As a result:

BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./    ==>    absolute_dir = /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0/ + relative_dir (= ./)

where the Makefile is found, that is:

path_to_the_makefile     ==>       absolute_dir/Makefile = /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0/Makefile

All this is right, and the origin of the issue is another one.

I put it when using dkms build and dkms install , but I forgot it when adding the module.

This morning I've built it successfully, but now I'm getting the same error than you. The problem is that, testing one of my installers, I formatted the disk where the installation succeded. However, I'm pretty sure that this mess comes from the use of underscores instead of hyphens in the module name. Though I see all the drivers using underscores in /lib/modules, this one is generated as snd-hda-codec-cs8409.ko. You can see this fact in the Makefile, but I'm not sure whether or not hyphens are allowed for kernel module names.

Give me some time, and I'll update my how-to.

Indeed, there are a lot. But this morning something got me confused, because using modprobe with hyphens the later use of lsmod didn't list anything. This is the reason why I changed all the hyphens by underscores in the module name. In doing so, It doesn't build. Hense, the howto needs a workaround in the install target of the Makefile.

First of all, remove the previous work:

# dkms remove -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409 -v 1.0
# rm -rf /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409 -v 1.0

Leave the content of dkms.conf as follows (using hyphens):

PACKAGE_NAME=snd-hda-codec-cs8409
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd-hda-codec-cs8409
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/kernel/driver/updates
AUTOINSTALL=yes

Now we are going to modify the install target in the Makefile, renaming the module before it's installation:

install:
	mkdir -p $(KDIR)/updates/
	mv snd-hda-codec-cs8409.ko snd_hda_codec_cs8409.ko
	cp snd_hda_codec_cs8409.ko $(KDIR)/updates/
	depmod -a

Here you are the rest of the steps:

# mkdir /usr/src/snd-hda-codec-cs8409-1.0
# cp -Rv . /usr/src/snd-hda-codec-cs8409-1.0
# dkms add -m snd-hda-codec-cs8409 -v 1.0
# dkms build -m snd-hda-codec-cs8409 -v 1.0
# dkms install -m snd-hda-codec-cs8409 -v 1.0
# modprobe snd_hda_codec_cs8409
$ lsmod | grep snd_hda_codec_cs8409

In my computer:

$ lsmod | grep snd_hda_codec_cs8409
snd_hda_codec_cs8409   163840  0
snd_hda_codec_generic    98304  2 snd_hda_codec_cs8409,snd_hda_codec_realtek
snd_hda_codec         184320  5 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_cs8409,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek
snd_hda_core          118784  6 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_cs8409,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_codec_realtek

One question arises: why do we need to rename the *.ko?
Better workarounds...?

I'm referring to this:

using modprobe with hyphens the later use of lsmod didn't list anything

I mean, using hyphens in the module name, it's not listed by lsmod
