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

I answer myself:

# echo "alias snd-hda-codec-cs8409 snd_hda_codec_cs8409" >> /lib/modules/${kernel_version}/modules.alias

I see lots of aliases replacing hyphens by underscores in the modules.alias. Therefore, the workaround in the install target of the Makefile is superfluous if we add an alias for the driver.

c'est fini...?

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

cd /usr/src/snd....... dir
mkdir -p $(KDIR)/updates/

error output
sudo mkdir -p $(KDIR)/updates/
bash: KDIR: command not found

No, no... You don't have to run this code. Make will do, because it's part of the Makefile. The recipes concerning to the install target. However, you can leave the Makefile as is, and use modprobe and lsmod without underscores:

# modprobe snd-hda-codec-cs8409
$ lsmod | grep snd-hda-codec-cs8409

But then you have to create an alias by adding the line:

alias snd-hda-codec-cs8409 snd_hda_codec_cs8409

to the modprobes.alias of the running kernel, located in /lib/modules/${kernel_version}/, as I explained previously.

You'll find blacklisting worked, but the codec may be reverted back. Here you are one scenario where sound modules are autoloaded on boot despite blacklisting:

https://superuser.com/questions/429255/ … eze-solved

In such cases, it may be a good idea to block loading as well. For example:

blacklist snd_hda_codec_generic
install snd_hda_codec_generic /bin/false

Have you tried deleting the files in ~/.config/pulse and then doing a "pulseaudio -k"? It fixed my sound problem.

tux · 2022-10-19 17:36:44

Cirrus Logic Chip mean no sound
Cirrus chips have no documentation, must be reverse engineered by developers. scripts on configs not liky to commited to KMS.

alsamixer cli must have Cirrus Logic CS8409

stable is Cirrus Logic Generic
backport is Cirrus Logic CS8409 with aitor install instructions

adding blacklist snd_hda_codec_generic not sound after reboot
alsamixer with blacklist install snd_hda_codec_generic /bin/false on shows pulse no other card options.

Files located at /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0/ are copied to /var/lib/dkms/snd_hda_codec_cs8409/1.0/source/ where the build process is carried out.
I guess that you forgot to edit dkms.conf in /usr/src/snd...

Is that the running kernel? Higher versions like 5.19.0-2 do exist in Daedalus.

aitor · 2022-10-19 18:26:33

On the other hand, are you getting random noise with:

$ aplay /dev/urandom -f dat -D hw:1,0

or any other card,device pair?

Are you trying to build the driver again? If so, you are mixing hyphens and underscores. Use hyphens instead, and include an alias after the installation as I pointed out on sunday.

aplay /dev/urandom -f dat -D hw:1,0
aplay: main:830: audio open error: No such file or directory

how install daedalus with signed 5.19.13 or highter, kernel 5.19 give kernel panic at boot

hyphens set and it install correctly, the script must be altered and include specific hardware numbers.
davidjo at github go into more detail in issues pages.

Remove the folder /var/lib/dkms/snd_hda_codec_cs8409 and reinstall the headers:

$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-headers-5.19.0-0

Fork? Sorry, but I don't know what are you talking about. I didn't release anything today.

Skimming this thread while getting ready for work, and this may have been covered already.

I had a problem with sound not coming back after I use the Mute keys on my laptop (Fn + F1). You can hit the toggle and it says Muted/Unmuted on the LXDE Volume widget. Ran a bunch of the tests you ran earlier and everything checked out fine. Don't remember how I found it, but if I looked in QasMixer the dot at the bottom of the Master Volume slider was not filled. Clicked that and suddenly there is sound. May have been when I was in Alsamixer GUI and it the speaker icons above the Master control were white and did not have the "sound waves" (parenthesis symbols) on them. You can click the icons to turn them on and off.

Start a stream and set the volume level pretty high, so you can see if the sound comes on when you click either of the control icons I referenced above.
