Output of alsa-info.sh

It seems that the patch for bug 73375 had a side effect that I think it might not be desirable in some cases. A short summary would be something like this:

The first time that pulseaudio is run for an user (no configuration previously stored), the headphones port of the analog output will be selected, even if the headphones are not plugged at all (hence the analog-output-headphones port is not available).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Power on the computer while connected to an audio capable device through HDMI (e.g. TV), no other possible output port available (e.g. no built-in speakers), and with headphones unplugged
  2. After logging in, remove any local configuration (e.g. rm -rf ~/.config/pulse)
  3. Kill PA, and let it restart: pulseaudio -k
  4. Try to play some sound, or just modify the volume up/down

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

As the only possible output port is the HDMI one, the hdmi-output port should be selected instead of the not-available headphones port.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

The analog-output-headphones port gets selected, effectively making impossible to hear anything in a speaker-less computer even if connected to a TV through HDMI.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This is a particular problem in the hardware I'm using because I'm plugged to a TV through HDMI, which provides the only available output port at the time PA is run for the first time if no headphones are plugged. Thus, I think in this case it's very confusing that the headphones are selected even if not available, instead of the HDMI port.

I can fix this scenario I select the HDMI port manually, and that change will work across reboots. However, if I eventually plug the headphones, select them and then reboot, the headphones port will be selected again next time the user logs in, no matter they are still plugged or not (forcing to manually select HDMI again).

I've checked this with the latest code from the master branch and it's indeed an issue in there. Reverting the commit from bug 73375 gets rid of this problem, but then it gets other issues back that are probably worse.

Would it perhaps make sense perhaps to probe whether there's at least one available output port on other sinks before setting on the analog output during the first boot?

PS: Attaching the output of alsa-info.sh now. Will upload the output of pactl list and the verbose output of pulseaudio after filing the bug

It supports both headset and headphone/mic connectors.

Sorry, I'm new to the audio world, and I'm not sure I understand what you mean, or the relationship with the excerpt below (should it be the one for Node 0x19, perhaps?)

The jack supports both, but at the time I took this log I had a simple headset (no mic) connected

In PulseAudio ports will show up with the following names:
   Headphones - analog-output-headphones
   Headset mic - analog-input-microphone-headset
   Jack in mic-in mode - analog-input-microphone

   However, since regular mics also show up as analog-input-microphone,
   we need to check for certain controls on alsa mixer level too, to know
   if we deal with a separate mic jack, or a multi-function jack with a 
   mic-in mode (also called "headphone mic"). 
   We check for the following names:

   Headphone Mic Jack - indicates headphone and mic-in mode share the same jack,
     i e, not two separate jacks. Hardware cannot distinguish between a
     headphone and a mic.
   Headset Mic Phantom Jack - indicates headset jack where hardware can not
     distinguish between headphones and headsets
   Headset Mic Jack - indicates headset jack where hardware can distinguish
     between headphones and headsets. There is no use popping up a dialog in
     this case, unless we already need to do this for the mic-in mode.

yours seem different from pa_backend.c

I just plugged a Philips SHE8005 Headset[1] (same jack combined) that I have, and I can confirm that is properly recognized as both and output and input device.

Not sure what you mean here. I'm CCing my colleague Daniel Drake (author of the other kernel commit you pointed out), in case he can maybe comment on this

I'm using codec ALC283 and yes, the jack type seems to be automatically detected when plugging it

This is I can see from the verbose output of pulseaudio -vvvvv, when plugging that Philips headset:

   [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Headphone Jack' is now plugged in
   [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Mic Jack' is now plugged in

Perhaps that's a mistake, I really don't know. Could you elaborate a bit more on that?

I did, see the output before and after unplugging the Philips headset:

    $ sudo hda-jack-sense-test 
    Pin 0x21 (Black HP Out): present = No

    $ sudo hda-jack-sense-test

Comment 14 David Henningsson 2014-12-05 11:54:19 UTC
Ok, I've looked at this issue now. 

The startup order is something like:

1) module_alsa_card's init_jacks initializes port availability, and for every port, we get a callback to port_available_hook_callback. No action is done here due to the fix for bug 73375.

2) module_alsa_card's init_profile is called, which in turn creates sources and sinks. At this point, we don't switch profiles: our current profile is analog, we don't switch away from profiles when ports become unavailable.

The thing is, to solve this properly, we should need a callback *between* 1) and 2). We can't act on 1), because not all ports are guaranteed to have its availability set yet. But acting on 2) is too late, because then the profile is already set.

What about letting 1) and 2) to finish, as if everything went fine and then, as a last and desperate attempt to avoid having a profile with no ports available, check if there's a better option and switch profiles if needed?

That's the "hack" I've been experimenting with lately in this device (notice that we use PA 5.0, but an stable release, not the trunk), and so far seemed to work fine, although I'm not 100% it's a totally broken or not.

You can check it in this commit: https://github.com/mariospr/pulseaudio/commit/4d3fdd5bbe8bc003f98403188e38a02110ba4c91

Well, it's a hack. And the hackier, the more likely we regress some other use case.

I'm more thinking that maybe one could initialize the port availability earlier, even before pa_card_new, using the pa_device_port_new_data_set_available function. Then we could act accordingly already in the callback in 1).

Agreed. I never thought of that as a solution but more as an experiment, hopefully able to spark some discussion. Seems it worked, pretty nicely from that pov :)

Anyway, I'm building PA again enabling the unit tests, to at least check whether I'm regressing something obvious..

If that was possible, I think it would be awesome, I think that could simplify things a lot. Still, if I understand things correctly, we still could not revert the patch for bug 73375, even if we do that, as the sinks/sources would not be initialized at that point, but in init_profile.

Does that make sense at all?
Comment 18 David Henningsson 2014-12-05 13:32:11 UTC
Rough outline of new suggested startup order:

 1) Above the add_profiles call in module-alsa-card.c, we should first start listening to mixer events (in order not to get a race condition).
 2) Update availability of all jacks. This might require some refactoring of code as the jacks do not have associated ports at that point.

 3) add_profiles ends up calling alsa-mixer.c:device_port_alsa_init. Here, add a call to pa_device_port_new_data_set_available() and fill it in accordingly. This will also require refactoring the jack availability to port availability logic into a separate function in alsa-mixer.c.

 4) We add a new hook in module-switch-on-port-available that listens to pa_card_new. From this hook, we switch the suggested profile in case the current profile has no available ports (and we find another profile that has).

Does that make sense? Anything (or all) of the above that you'd like to write yourself?

Yes, and in that case my approach would be not to change a thing: only if you preselect a profile with no ports available when there are another profile with ports available.

But as David said, that's a hack and not the proper solution.

Thanks for this outline, David. At a first glance it all looks like it makes sense to me, but still my knowledge on this is quite limited, so it's hard to make an informed opinion now on whether it really makes sense or not, or whether there are things I could write myself or not.

What I can say now, however, is that I'll try to take a closer look to this suggestion (ideally next week) by trying to implement it myself. Once I devote some time to that, I should be able to know better what exactly I'll be able to tackle and what not, and then I will surely have more questions too.

Of course, feel free to point out/comment anything you want in the meanwhile. I'm sure that any extra info you, or anyone else, can provide on this will be very valuable to me.

did you find any of those message in system log when you use debug version of alsa driver ?

it contradict the logic of module-switch-on-port-available which switch to other available /unknown port when active port is unavailable

when pulseaudio cannot find valid profile of the sound card, auto null is automically selected when there is no sound card available

I don't think I was running the debug version of the driver, nor I'm sure how I can do that. Would you mind sharing a few tips on how to do it so?

I've checked http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug and a few more places, but still is not clear to me.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths/iec958-stereo-output.conf

[Element IEC958]
switch = mute

it is an element in iec958  conf but your barebone only have hdmi device and no digital device

those hdmi-output conf does not has this element

it bug of pulseaudio if those iec958 playback is mute switch of hdmi 

restore card device expect to restore volume/mute but pulseaudio did not save any info into the databse

I'm so sorry for having taken so long to finally get back to this, but the last months it was nearly impossible to me to devote time to sit down and work on upstreaming this patch.

Fortunately, Arun lend me a hand during the Gstreamer hackfest and I'm happy to say that I have a version of the patch that I hope will be on the right path. Just sent it to the mailing list for review now:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2015-March/023420.html

The idea implemented is based on David's suggestion from comment #18 after "digesting" it with the help of Arun, but perhaps with a few twists I found as needed while writing the actual patch. Hope it looks ok anyway, though :)
