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 Jaroslav Kysela 2022-03-18 10:00:40 UTC

The latest upstream code contains support for the new hardware and few bugfixes.

Comment 5 Erik Hamera 2022-08-25 02:19:55 UTC

- all binaries are in and executable

- arecord, aplay, alsamixer, speaker-test and alsactl works

- amixer sets both "Master" and "Speaker" up (according to alsamixer running in another terminal), but "Speaker" only down.
- - Manually set "Master" = "Speaker" = 49 in alsamixer
- - $ amixer set Master playback 90%
- - "Master" is on 100, "Speaker" is on 97 in alsamixer
- - amixer set Master playback 20%
- - "Master" is on 100 still, "Speaker" is on 56 in alsamixer
Is this expected behavior? If yes, this BZ is verified:tested.

Comment 6 Jaroslav Kysela 2022-08-25 08:02:56 UTC

The amixer is routed by default to pipewire (or pulseaudio), if the sound server is available. The current audio path (sink/source) is controlled. It seems fine that the native Speaker control changes when the sound is routed to speakers. Note that Master from pipewire is not Master in ALSA. You may verify the used mixer using 'amixer info' command.

Use '-c 0' where zero is the card number or '-D hw:0' (ditto for zero) argument to specify the native ALSA card like for alsamixer.

Comment 7 Erik Hamera 2022-08-25 18:02:50 UTC

Hi Jaroslav,
thank you for the explanation. I consider this BZ being verified now.



Default mixer is routed to the pipewire.

Card default 'pipewire'/'PipeWire'
