Solved No sound in Lenovo Thinkpad T410 - Conexant CX20585

I'm trying to make my Lenovo to work at best with FreeBSD 13, but I cannot get any sound from the internal speakers, while it works via the HDMI external port.

pcm3: <Intel Ibex Peak (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.

When I play some audio, either locally or thru a web browser, I can see the audio level peaks thru the volume setting application (KDE Plasma), but even switching to another audio device does not provide any sound, only a little background noise.

I've tried to load the snd_driver module, as explained in the handbook <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/#sound-setup>, but the output does not change at all:

Code: 
 % sudo kldload snd_driver
% sudo cat /dev/sndstat

pcm3: <Intel Ibex Peak (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.

I've tried to switch to pcm1, by setting in /etc/sysctl.conf the line:

Code: 
hw.snd.default_unit=1

and rebooted, but nothing has changed (except that pcm1 now is the default audio device).

The /boot/loader.conf contains:

Code: 
sound_enable="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"

I'm running out of ideas here, so please provide some hint.

I'm sure the audio device is working fine, I've tested with...ehm...another operating system (Linux). I've also noted that in general, the volume peak reported by KDE sound applet is really low, however I confirm no sound at all is audible even with the volume of the speaker at the massimum level.

Please note when switching to PCM 1 or 2 etc... using sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=2 (while your desktop is running for example) then you need to restart pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k.

I've rebooted the whole computer, and checked that /dev/sndstat lists pcm1 as default. Yet not sound at all.
However, I've tried to issue pulseaudio -k and the result could lead to some problem:

Code: 
% sudo pulseaudio -k
E: [(null)] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process

The package is installed, so I could be missing something to enable it?

Code: 
 % pkg info pulseaudio
pulseaudio-14.2_3
Name           : pulseaudio
Version        : 14.2_3
Installed on   : Wed Oct 20 10:19:02 2021 CEST


If I try to kill it as a normal user, I got a slightly different message, that leads to the same error:

Code: 
% pulseaudio -k
W: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities s
upport.
E: [(null)] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process
 
Hi Luca,

Can you try adding the following settings to your /boot/device.hints file?

Code: 
# Speakers and headphones
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid31.config="as=1 seq=0 device=Speaker"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid25.config="as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones"

You will probably need to reboot to get the settings to take effect.

Before touching anything there...

Does sound work without PulseAudio? At this point, we don't know if the problem is PulseAudio-specific or system-wide. Set media.cubeb.backend to oss in Firefox about:config (this will make Firefox output sound to OSS directly instead of using PulseAudio) and try to play something from that browser.

Also, check the output of mixer, maybe your internal speakers are just muted or have their volume set too low.

I don't have such setting in my Firefox 93, I've media.cubeb.loggin_level, media.cubeb.sandbox which is boolean, and media.cubeb.output_voice_routing, which is a boolean too. Is the fact that is missing the media.cubeb.backend a symptom of the problem?

No luck! Even after a reboot, these settings did not change anything.
If that matters, here's the output of mixer, that as far as I understand states the volume level is at its maximum:

Code: 
% mixer
Mixer rec      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer monitor  is currently set to  42:42
Recording source: monitor

That's normal, you have to add it manually.
In about:config, type media.cubeb.backend, select "String", click on the "+" symbol, type oss and press Enter.

That's interesting: there isn't any output on your current sound unit, only inputs. You won't get any sound with that.
Given that you're still using pcm1 as a default, change it back to pcm0. What does mixer say then?
 
I must have scrwed up the mixer output, by means of doing something nasty on my devices.
Here's what appear after the boot:

Code: 
% mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  61:61
Mixer pcm      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer rec      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer monitor  is currently set to  42:42

Now, that *DISABLED* in all the devices in the output of dev.hdaa puzzles me, but I don't know how to move forward.
 
Not sure if this was clear or not, however, headphones are working always!
I mean, even if I do
Code: 
% doas cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Conexant CX20585 (Right Analog)> (play/rec)
pcm1: <Conexant CX20585 (Internal Analog)> (play/rec) default
pcm2: <Intel Ibex Peak (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <Intel Ibex Peak (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.

% sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
hw.snd.default_unit: 1


or select the other pcmi:

Code: 
% doas cat /dev/sndstat  
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Conexant CX20585 (Right Analog)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Conexant CX20585 (Internal Analog)> (play/rec)
pcm2: <Intel Ibex Peak (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <Intel Ibex Peak (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.

% sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
hw.snd.default_unit: 0

the headphones are always the only one method to listen to audio. I've understood why pcmi0 is named right analog and that is because the headphones plug is on the right side of the Lenovo.
I've done the above tests editing /etc/sysctl.conf and placing the default_unito to either zero or one, and then rebooted.

The I did another experiment: I played a local mp4, so to bypass the browser.
This time, no matter how I set the pcmi, no sound at all, and also no peak in the volume controller. Even headphones were not working. Can this provide some information?
 
I also use T410, only after i add this to /etc/sysctl.conf the sound is working:
hw.snd.default_unit=1

By default FreeBSD is using the first available sound device reported.

I've already tried this many times, withous any luck. Is there a chance I'm missing something else, like codecs or so, because as I wrote I'm unable to listen (even in the headphones) to a local mp3.
 
"When I play some audio, either locally or thru a web browser, I can see the audio level peaks thru the volume setting application (KDE Plasma), but even switching to another audio device does not provide any sound, only a little background noise."

Going to ask something stupid, but since you see the output are you sure you havent touched any buttons on the unit itself? Like "audio mute" or something that is hindering volume out?

A bit weird since ayleid96 have the same laptop and gets sound output.

First of all, the hardware mute led was turned off, so I was sure it was not a problem of the hardware muting button.
However, just as a last resort, I tried to piush the keyboard volume increase button, that displayed "Volume 99%" on the screen, and suddenly the speakers start to play both web and local audio tracks.
I cannot explain, because now pushing the hardware mjute button turns on the red led on the keyboard and mutes the speakers, and I double checked that the outputs were not (software) muted.
Just in case, this is my current configuration:


Code: 
% sysctl hw.snd.default_auto hw.snd.default_unit
hw.snd.default_auto: 0
hw.snd.default_unit: 1

So far, this is solved, thank you all for the help!
