JACK fails in record modes with an Intel HDA device (by NVidia) since kernel 4.4.1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

since the kernel update to 4.4.1 (I'm on Arch Linux x86_64), I cannot
use the jack server in duplex mode or record only mode anymore (playback
only still works) using the internal sound card (an Intel HDA
manufactured by NVidia) of my Apple MacBook Pro 7,1.
Up until kernel 4.3.3, this was possible without any issues.

JACK seems to start formally, but fails after a multi-second timeout as
soon as one tries to connect any client to it, giving the following
error messages:

I already filed bug reports against the JACK sound server package on
Arch Linux...

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48073

...where at least one other user was able to reproduce (though he did
not specify his hardware configuration), and I filed an issue for the
JACK developers on Github...

https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/issues/186

...where further investigation has shown that it seems to be related to
the HDA hardware, as I can start JACK successfully in all modes using an
external USB audio interface. Markus Seeber has pointed me to an older
issue report against JACK...

https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/issues/116

...where a genuine Intel HDA card in a Lenovo laptop showed the exact
same symptoms, but obviously using an older kernel.

Output of alsa-info.sh on the MacBook Pro is here:

I'm interested in getting the device to work again in all modes as it
used to.

Best,
Johannes
