RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Flags
alsa-info.sh --no-upload from Fedora 15, RHEL 7.0 and RHEL 7.3 none

Description Ajinkya Patil 2016-09-26 13:05:52 UTC
Created attachment 1204834 [details]
alsa-info.sh --no-upload from Fedora 15, RHEL 7.0 and RHEL 7.3

Description of problem:
When the customer is working with RHEL 7.0 the command "alsamixer" (ver. 1.0.27.2) cannot change the condition, when the sound.
from INPUT connector can be hearing from the speakers through OUTPUT connector.
Obviously, the loopback between audio input and output is enabled.
When we attempt to make the audio file and play it, "aplay" has not issued a sound.

Expected results:


Additional info:
Customer is using Realtek analog chip ALC262.
There is an improvement in RHEL7.3. Below is the statement made by customer:-
"We downloaded the RHEL-7.3 Beta version alsamixer ver.1.1.1 has some improvement,  the “Mix” loopback with alsamixer ver.1.1.1 can be disabled. That means when audio input is coming from the external PC it will not be routed/looped to the speakers directly as appears in the alsamixer rev 1.0.27.2 (RHEL 7.0) "

Note:- Customer is able to achieve above things in fedora 15 without any issue.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Kysela 2016-09-26 13:57:33 UTC
ALSA subsystem looks good. Please, test directly the ALSA driver with the setup for RHEL 7.3 (alsamixer - capture flag in 'Capture' column, increased 'Line Boost', 'Capture' 100% - unmuted).

  arecord -D plughw:0,0 -f cd -d 15 -vvv a.wav

Note that there is no more 'Input Source' in recent Linux kernels for this hardware. The codec is capable to mix inputs together (Line,Mic etc.). The user should select the input source(s) with the "capture' flag in alsamixer.

Comment 3 Ajinkya Patil 2016-09-29 18:33:26 UTC
Hi Jaroslav,

"arecord -D plughw:0,0 -f cd -d 15 -vvv a.wav" resolves the issue.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Kysela 2016-09-29 18:43:06 UTC
OK, so it looks like a pulseaudio configuration issue..
