[SOLVED] Mic. not working in PanasonicCF54 intel ALC256 chip

#1 Post by gurfle »

Software: Stretch 9.1, mate desktop, pulseaudio and alsa all installed correctly.
Hardware: Panasonic CF-54 with headset jack and ALC256 sound chip.

Summary of problem: Earphones of headset connected to the jack work, but microphone functionality fails.

Test performed (speaking into microphone for 5 seconds):
arecord -d 5 test.wav; aplay test.wav
with only 5 seconds of static heard.

Of course, I've ensured that everything is unmuted :)
EDIT: (AND that hardware is NOT the issue -- see response to first reply below)

cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Following some rather sketchy suggestions here, I have tried using hdajackretask to assign unconnected pins to the "Microphone" jack (as opposed to the one labeled "Internal mic"), but unfortunately without any improvement: Curiously, while in alsamixer some new "Capture" devices show up after new assignments made through hdajackretask, these appear in there with no volume control slider.

It should be noted that there actually is no internal microphone on this laptop, though of course it is supported by the ALC256 chip, and therefore shows up in all the software controls. This is the reason that it would be especially handy for me to get a microphone to work in the headset jack of a Panasonic CF54 8)

hmm.
maybe i'm stating the obvious here, but... maybe the headphoen jack does not integrate a microphone input?
is there a separate mic/line input?

No, it definitely is a headset jack with four connectors. I know the hardware being tested (i.e. laptop jack and headset with both in- and output on same plug) works, because from a Win10 partition on the same machine, both microphone and earphone are recognized and function the instant the headset is plugged into that jack. For now, it would be great if I could just get the microphone to work at all in debian stretch. It would be best if headset insertion could be detected so sound could be immediately switched from internal to external, but I don't want to ask for too much yet :wink:

Re: Headset microphone not working in ALC256 sound chip

searching your model for linux and sound mic problems brings up some stuff, i suggest you research deeper.

why is this:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-dmic
there? did you put that last option there? what does it mean?

troubleshooting:
i'd try to disable pulseaudio first and see if i can get it to work on alsa; maybe because i know nothing about pulseaudio, but what i see is this:
Ports:
analog-input-rear-mic: Rear Microphone (priority: 8200, not available)
analog-input-internal-mic: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900)
analog-input-mic: Microphone (priority: 8700, not available)
Active Port: analog-input-mic
some discrepancy there.

This turns out to be what's needed for the ALC256 chip in the Panasonic CF-54. See the list under "ALC25x" here and/or this post.
EDIT: In fact "model=headset-mode" is the option that works with this hardware (as explained in my last post at the bottom of this thread).

Actually, the real good news is that I got the mic. to work, with this "model=laptop-dmic" option right after following your suggestion of disabling pulseaudio :idea:

However the bad news is that it only lasted for about an hour :(

EDIT: After a lot of frustrating troubleshooting, I now know what caused this mysterious appearance and disappearance of sound. See this.

Re: Microphone not working in Panasonic CF-54, ALC256 sound

#7 Post by gurfle »

Brief update:

Still not able to reproduce that "magical" hour (when everything with the headset jack worked like a charm) with

1) Completely clean (i.e. on a reformatted partition) installation of stretch (with default mate desktop) from the 9..0 DVD-1

2) Pulsaudio disabled, then all its packages removed (Though, as before, a couple of puseaudio library packages had to remain in order not to loose mate.)

3) Upgrade from 9.1.1 DVD-1

2) Upgrade from the latest 9.2 DVD set (of 2).

So now I have a completely clean 9.2 mate desktop system with alsa but no running pulseaudio deamon and microphone remains nonfunctional :(
What could I have done to get it to work for a while :? ? Unfortunately, I failed to get the pulseaudio, alsa and running module dumps while it was (for comparison with the posted ones) :x

OK . . . now I know what's going on:

It has nothing to do with pulseaudio or alsa, but some firmware initialization that is done by Windows 10, but not by plain "free" debian. I am downloading firmware-9.2.0-amd64-DVD-1 that has the debian non-free firmware, and will report if anything from there helps.

Here is the reason I only briefly had everything working:
When I boot into Windows 10, and then into stretch (without turning off power), everything works as expected in stretch. Starting stretch directly after a power cycle however results in (1) the microphone not working at all, and (2) headset plug insertion not being recognized by pulseaudio.

There is a package called firmware-intel-sound, but that seem not to have anything relevant.

You don't need to download the non-free dvd to get the firmware - it's all available in the regular non-free repo's, just not included in the official installation media.

Finally solved !!!
Here's what it takes:

1) kernel upgrade to 4.9.0-4 (as comes in stretch 9.2 -- kernel 4.9.0-3 in 9.1 does not do sound properly on this hardware).

2) change /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf to

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=headset-mode
I had mistakenly thought the option "model=laptop-dmic" was correct because that happened to be what was in place when everything worked after the unwitting warm start from Win10 (as described above). Then all tests, even after the upgrade to stretch 9.2 failed until the "headset-mode" model option was tried once again.
