No sound on resume after suspend in 12.10

Question

The issue has begun within 12.10. Before it worked perfectly. Now, even restarting alsa won't work, I have to reboot.

Please, ask for details. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10, unity DE with gnome 3.6, no third parts drivers.

Thanks

Here you are with sudo lshw output: http://pastebin.com/vh3SGcZa

I've tried removing and readding the audio kernel module - however

Can't sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel. It gives FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use

Here you are with /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf content: http://pastebin.com/yvArB2ex

My laptop model is HP 6730s

In /var/log/syslog I found the following:

kernel: [   33.847111] pci_pm_runtime_suspend(): azx_runtime_suspend+0x0/0x40 [snd_hda_intel] returns -11

cat /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save gives 0 cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1b.0/power/control gives on

I had similar problem, updating (or was it removing, reinstalling some sound packages?) fixed it for me. — NoBugs, Dec 18 '12 at 07:19
It doesn't. I added a new edit, maybe this can help you finding out the problem! — jasmines, Dec 18 '12 at 08:57
Have you checked this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/213989/sound-not-working-after-suspend-on-lenovo-t400/214585 ? — mac, Dec 18 '12 at 11:21
This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions on filing a bug report are here. — Jorge Castro, Jan 10 '13 at 20:54

Have you tried the following operations?

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/50alsa

Add the folloowing lines into the file.

case "$1" in
        hibernate|suspend)
                # Stopping is not required
                ;;
        thaw|resume)
                /sbin/alsa force-reload
                ;;
        *) exit $NA
                ;;
esac

Press Ctrl+S to save this file,then make executable this file with the following command.

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/50alsa

Executing manually /sbin/alsa force-reload won't solve, therefore I think this script won't too. – jasmines Dec 14 '12 at 15:35
There are bug reports in Launchpad reporting similar symptoms. E.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1066488, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1076980 – jdthood Dec 17 '12 at 15:00
This helped me on Ubuntu 13.04. – Stefan Radovanovici Sep 27 '13 at 14:49

The error in your log seems to suggest there was a problem whilst suspending the sound card. Have you checked whether Linux is setup to suspend the sound card, or whether power saving is disabled? Reading through a few pages on the topic, I think the following information might be helpful.

Check for Power Saving in the HDA-Intel Driver:

cat /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save

https://lesswatts.org/tips/misc.php

Check options for Power Saving, using the PCI interface:

cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/power/control  # '*' should match the sound card's PCI Address, as listed in 'lshw'

Check the current state of the sound card, according to Pulse Audio:

pacmd list-sinks     # Look for 'suspend', 'suspend-cause' and 'alsa.card_name'

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Configuring_Sound_on_Linux/Pulse_Audio/Testing

Okay, I guess that is not the problem. Last suggestion, have you tried using any of the available options for the 'AD1984A' codec?

The error code -11 means -EAGAIN. According to the current source code

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c

Several things changed between 3.7 and trunk. The specific return value does not exist in this method in the trunk. It's likly the problem is already fixed upstream. You can test using a daily (or wait for rc's) mainline kernel to confirm this. If everything works, you might just use that kernel. If not, you can report your findings to the mentioned bug entry (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1066488) to help developer get it fixed...

I've already tried 3.7 provided by xorg-edgers, but it didn't fix this bug, and moreover gave kernel panic on resuming ac adapter from battery. — jasmines, Dec 20 '12 at 16:59
