Description Jason Farrell 2008-11-03 18:56:18 UTC
Description of problem:
After resuming from suspend, the playback volume is limited to a barely audible level, even after maxing all available mixers. This is a regression from F9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.27.4-68.fc10.i686

How reproducible:
f10snap3 liveinstall on an Acer Aspire One netbook.


Additional info:
There is a known workaround for this problem: to pass a "model=acer" option to the kmod, since 'auto' is not working. i.e.:

  echo 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto' > /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.acer.conf

Comment 1 Jason Farrell 2008-11-11 20:44:49 UTC
I should add that forcing "model=acer" isn't an ideal workaround either, since while it does fix the low volume issue after suspend/resume, a new problem arises: the external speakers don't mute when headphones are plugged in.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:41:57 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 3 Jason Farrell 2008-11-28 18:29:22 UTC
working workaround is to use model=toshiba instead. you lose the internal mic, but at least the sound volume is normal after suspend/resume. see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#AUDIO:

Comment 4 Jaroslav Kysela 2009-02-04 11:15:12 UTC
Could you attach output from 'alsa-info.sh --no-upload' before suspend (normal volume levels) and after suspend (low volume levels)?

Please, remove 'model=' changes from configuration files to provide valid information.

Comment 5 Jason Farrell 2009-02-05 10:47:48 UTC
recent updates seem to have fixed this problem, as i can no longer reproduce. the model=toshiba hack is no longer necessary; sound remains at previous volume after resume from suspend. great!
