Description tarclarke 2019-11-22 16:53:07 UTC

Description of problem:
No sound on Asus E200H laptop. This laptop is running versions of the Linux kernel and alsa-lib that both have newly developed support for the audio codec in this laptop (CX2072X) so in principal the audio should work, but instead I only have "Dummy output" as a sound output device. A similar bug was raised a month ago:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1759345 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Linux kernel: 5.3.11-300.fc31.x86_64 
ALSA-Lib: 1.2.1-3.fc31

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load Fedora 31 on computer with CX2072X audio codec.
2. Install alsa-lib 1.2.1 (currently in update repositories).
3. Use dracut to attempt to get sound output devices recognised during initrd.

Actual results:
No sound output.

Expected results:
Recognised and working audio codec.

Additional info:
Output of alsa-info.sh: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=4a03667f09e3ce61c313de2c94483421b6f7cd7e

Comment 1 Jaroslav Kysela 2019-11-22 19:05:04 UTC

Try to upgrade to alsa-lib-1.2.1.1 from testing (or wait until tomorrow - the update will be pushed to stable updates soon).

Comment 2 tarclarke 2019-11-22 19:52:32 UTC

Thank you Jaroslav, the package in testing (1.2.1.1-1.fc31) fixed the issue. This bug can now be closed. I'd imagine this will also allow bug #1759345 to be closed as well ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1759345 ), I'll post an update on that bug to advise them to try this version.

For anyone reading this at a later date, the dracut command I ran was just...
sudo dracut -f -v

Thanks again.
