System environment:

-- kernel: 2.6.36 to 3.2
-- Linux distribution: Ubuntu 12.04
-- Machine: Dell Studio Hybrid 140g
-- Display connector: HDMI

Somewhere between 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, HDMI audio to my connected TV went from working to not working - all the ALSA devices are still there with no changes, but in 2.6.36 is no audio from the TV. 24 hours with git bisect points to this commit: c74696b9c890074c1e1ee3d7496fc71eb3680ced

And in particular, this hunk:

Reverting that hunk against 2.6.36 brings back HDMI audio.

On a more recent Ubuntu precise kernel (3.2.0-21.34) which is based off 3.2, a similar patch fixes things for me:

 	}
 

This is probably not the correct fix, as I honestly have no idea what the code is doing. But I am happy to test out any patches or provide any further information. There seem to be many people with this hardware who have experienced the same problem (e.g.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/793592)

Attached are dmesg output with drm.debug=0x06, from 3.2 with and without the above patch.

So

intel_sdvo_get_mode_from_dtd() and intel_sdvo_get_dtd_from_mode() are not idempotent. We lose dtd.sdvo_flags and some bits from dtd.dtd_flags. I'm guessing that sdvo_flags is the relevant lossage in this case.

Hm, I've figured the only relevant difference between mode and adjusted
mode is the pixel clock multiplier adjustements at the end of
intel_sdvo_mode_fixup (so that the pixelclock we send to the sdvo card is
>= 100MHZ).

With some more code-reading we seem to have a decent confusion between
input and output modes (and timings). For is_tv || is_lvds we set the
output timings in mode_fixup (bad style), for everything else we do it in
mode_set, but with the adjusted mode (which I guess should be used only
for the input timings).

/me doesn't see through the mist, yet

Ok, I think I see what's going on here (hopefully). Please test the attached patch.
Comment 8 Daniel Vetter 2012-04-01 10:33:01 UTC
If the patch works, please also test the for-bernard git branch from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm/

It contains some additional cleanups and clarifications for this code.

The thing is that if this patch is correct, things should have been broken on quite a few machines. Which means before I can submit this, I need to go bug-hunting and get more tested-bys on different machines.
Comment 11 Daniel Vetter 2012-04-10 11:46:30 UTC
I think I've confused things here a bit. Can you please confirm whether the attached patch works for you or whether it does not work for you?
Comment 12 Bernard B 2012-04-18 08:38:17 UTC
I can confirm that just applying attachment #59353 [details] [review] works. (tested on top of Ubuntu's 3.2.0-20.33 kernel, based on 3.2.13).
