[BUG] Dell XPS Plus 13 9320 - No sound card detected

[yesi]

Describe the bug
No sound card detected on a laptop - Dell XPS Plus 13 9320

System : Linux-6.6.7-gentoo-x86_64-12th_Gen_Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i7-1260P-with-glibc2.37

Packages :
sys-firmware/sof-firmware-2023.09.2::gentoo
sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20231030::gentoo

Since i use the module snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl on my laptop, the sound card is not detected anymore.
No PCH card from the command : cat /proc/asound/cards

Notice : using the snd_hda_intel module allow the sound card to be detected but no sound from the speakers. It is why i switched to snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl module.

To Reproduce
On a installing Gentoo
Even unloading and loading modules after boot :
modprobe -r snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl
modprobe snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl

Reproduction Rate
All the time

Expected behavior
The sound card PCH should be detected.

Impact
annoyance, showstopper
It is necessary for meeting.

can you check that your kernel configuration includes CONFIG_SND_SOC_INTEL_SKL_HDA_DSP_GENERIC_MACH=m

[plbossart]

at any rate, there's no magic to be expected. The first order of business with speaker problems is to disable SOF

https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/suggestions.html#disable-sof-on-pci-hdaudio-devices-to-test-audio-playback

[plbossart]

I also don't get why the SOF driver is used since your have no DMICs. the SOF driver is only required of TGL/ADL IF you have SoundWire or DMICs.

[ 4010.651362] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: DMICs detected in NHLT tables: 0

I guess you must have selected the SOF driver manually with a kernel parameter?

[ujfalusi]

@yesi, if the speaker is silent with the legacy HDA stack then it is likely not going to work with SOF stack either.
If you force to use SOF then in your machine it should be looking for the sof-hda-generic.tplg file (you don't have DMIC).
The card should be created...

equery files sof-firmware | grep sof-hda-generic

You can try to enable dynamic debugging and provide full dmesg: https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/suggestions.html#enable-dynamic-debug
to see why the card fails to bind.
Is this a first install on the laptop? Are you using sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin or normal, custom compiled one? Without forcing SOF, what is detected?

[ujfalusi]

Hrm, does this laptop have SoundWire for Speaker and Headset?
The Raptor Lake variant have at least: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Dell/XPS%2013%209320%20%282023%29%20%28bookworm%29
It is certified for Ubuntu as well: https://ubuntu.com/certified/202112-29761

[ujfalusi]

Yes, definitely SDW device:

[ 3795.794031] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: hda codecs found, mask 4

The SKU should be supported since v5.16:
8f4fa45 ("ASoC: Intel: sof_sdw: Add support for SKU 0AF3 product")

The Gentoo-bin kernel works on my test TGL device out of box:

@yesi this is trending to be closed - no input provided since December 18 and counter-example that this device is supported by SOF.

Hi,
Sorry for the late answer.

I finally get it work with the SOF driver , but neither with HDA, after enabling different modules to build them manually.
The SOF debug mode helped me a lot to find the lack modules and its dependencies.

The choice to use SOF is to see whether it can work when it failed with HDA.
I think it should work with HDA module (i read in different forums) but i can not get the dependencies to do it work.

So right now, i stay with the SOF module. :-)

We can close this topic.

Thanks a lot for your time.

[ujfalusi]

@yesi, a Soundwire device will not work with HDA driver.
