Sirs, Hopefully I am posting to the correct place - though I suspect this one might be better pointed to the devs. I have a motherboard, a ASUS Rog Crosshair Hero VII which apparently has a Realtek ACL1220 chipset. Under kernel 4.16.16 audio works fine. However, essentially using the same kernel config, copied across from 4.16.13 for both, and make oldconfig ran, I only get sound with the 4.16.* kernels and not for 4.17.2 and 4.17.3. Some diagnostic info: Contents of /proc/asound/cards: Linux phoenix 4.17.3: --- no soundcards --- Linux phoenix 4.16.16: 0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfe940000 irq 73 1 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic HD-Audio Generic at 0xfe800000 irq 75 Relevant part of the kernel config file for 4.17.3. I could post the config for 4.16.16 but I'm not sure that it would give more useful information. # # HD-Audio # CONFIG_SND_HDA=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG=y # CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP is not set CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0132=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0132_DSP=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CORE=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_DSP_LOADER=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_I915=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE=2048 CONFIG_SND_USB=y CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m CONFIG_SND_USB_UA101=m CONFIG_SND_USB_USX2Y=m CONFIG_SND_USB_CAIAQ=m CONFIG_SND_USB_CAIAQ_INPUT=y CONFIG_SND_USB_US122L=m CONFIG_SND_USB_6FIRE=m CONFIG_SND_USB_HIFACE=m CONFIG_SND_BCD2000=m CONFIG_SND_USB_LINE6=m CONFIG_SND_USB_POD=m CONFIG_SND_USB_PODHD=m CONFIG_SND_USB_TONEPORT=m CONFIG_SND_USB_VARIAX=m CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE=y CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE_LIB=m CONFIG_SND_DICE=m CONFIG_SND_OXFW=m CONFIG_SND_ISIGHT=m CONFIG_SND_FIREWORKS=m CONFIG_SND_BEBOB=m CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE_DIGI00X=m CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE_TASCAM=m CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE_MOTU=m CONFIG_SND_FIREFACE=m CONFIG_SND_PCMCIA=y CONFIG_SND_VXPOCKET=m CONFIG_SND_PDAUDIOCF=m # CONFIG_SND_SOC is not set CONFIG_SND_X86=y CONFIG_HDMI_LPE_AUDIO=m CONFIG_SND_SYNTH_EMUX=m CONFIG_AC97_BUS=m Modules for 4.16.16: bash-4.3$ lsmod | grep hda snd_hda_codec_realtek 102400 1 snd_hda_codec_generic 81920 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_hdmi 57344 1 snd_hda_intel 45056 5 snd_hda_codec 135168 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_core 86016 5 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hwdep 16384 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 110592 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_core,snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd 90112 18 snd_hda_intel,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_codec,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_pcm Modules for 4.17.3: snd_hda_codec_realtek 102400 0 snd_hda_codec_generic 81920 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_intel 45056 0 snd_hda_codec 135168 3 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_core 90112 4 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hwdep 16384 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 110592 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_core snd 90112 7 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_timer,snd_pcm To me it looks like it is not a problem with the modules, they are loading. But on 4.17.2 & 3 the sound chipsets are not being picked up correctly. Can anyone suggest where I go from here?
