I haven't paid as close attention to Xorg issues sine the stroke last year, and I hadn't needed to reboot the box in the living room in several months. When I did need to, I found that hdmi audio was unlistenable. It sounded like it was mixed witht white noise. If I boot vmlinuz-3.19.0 is works fine. I had compiled 4.1.0 and 4.5.0, as well as its current default kernel, 4.9.0 (all from Linus' git). All of those 4. kernels show the crappy audio. In 4.9 I then tried switching to amdgpu. That did not help. The box has a Kaveri apu (ChipID 0x1313). Firmware is from linux-firmware.git and is compiled into the kernel via CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE. With radeon the kernel command line has: radeon.modeset=1 radeon.audio=1 With amdgpu I switched to: amdgpu.audio=1 amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1 Any thoughs on where to look? I find it hard to believe that a bug like this could persist for so long. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
