In a recent kernel upgrade, my DisplayPort audio output stopped working. PulseAudio showed no available profiles for the device, while aplay appeared to work normally but produced no sound. I'm running Debian Unstable, and I have a Radeon RX 470. I have bisected (in linux-stable), and narrowed down the start of the problem to this commit: commit 9168c089a2122606e2c01f6fbeda85ff950ac189 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad) Author: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Date: Tue Jul 10 12:56:45 2018 -0500 Revert "drm/amd/display: Don't return ddc result and read_bytes in same return value" commit 5292221d6ddfed75e5b46cd42237a677094b99f3 upstream. This reverts commit 018d82e5f02ef3583411bcaa4e00c69786f46f19. This breaks DDC in certain cases. Revert for 4.18 and previous kernels. For 4.19, this is fixed with the following more extensive patches: drm/amd/display: Serialize is_dp_sink_present drm/amd/display: Break out function to simply read aux reply drm/amd/display: Return aux replies directly to DRM drm/amd/display: Right shift AUX reply value sooner than later drm/amd/display: Read AUX channel even if only status byte is returned Link: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2018-July/023788.html Acked-by: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> I have tried kernel 4.19-rc2, and, as suggested in the commit message, the audio problem does indeed seem to be resolved in 4.19. I have never seen the stacktrace associated with the same commit at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200667
Graphics card: ASUS Radeon R9 270 Kernel: 5.2.9-arch1-1-ARCH I recently had some issues with the "radeon" driver and discovered that the "amdgpu" driver now has support for Southern Islands (SI) GPUs using the amdgpu.si_support=1 boot flag. Graphics stuff works great with "amdgpu" so far, however, all HDMI audio outputs are marked as "(unplugged) (unavailable)". This seems to be a similar problem, based on IRC logs by BCMM at https://dri.freedesktop.org/~cbrill/dri-log/?channel=radeon&highlight_names=&date=2018-09-05 which lead me to this bug report. His screenshot from pavuctl: https://i.imgur.com/67HYPG3.png Ben, are you still having this issue too?
Southern Islands is not supported by the DC modesetting code, so this is not the same issue as the OP's.
Thanks Alex, reported new bug 111492.
