答复: 答复: [alsa-devel] 答复: [PATCH] vgaswitchroo: set audio client id according to bound gpu client id

Tue Jul 10 07:44:42 UTC 2018

Hi Takashi,

I am not expert in audio driver, so I just update some test result, please help triage the issue.

With audio runtime pm:

1. ubuntu audio setting use pactl to query audio card/output sink. Attachment is pactl output with audio runtime pm.
2. cat /proc/asound/card0/eld* can get nothing.

Without audio runtime pm:
1. pactl can get available audio output/sink
2. can get eld info from eld#0.1

IMO, the issue should be:

Current operations like HDMI hotplug in/out, pactl command, they do not access audio HW, so the audio could not resume back at this period. Therefore, upper software could not get HDMI ELD info, can select a available card/output sink.
I am also confuse that if there is no ELD info, how driver to steam audio device to wake up itself? It's sort of a chicken-or-egg question.

Thanks
JimQu

OK, and it has all necessary patches including the one Lukas
suggested, right?

If so, figure out what you're actually seeing as "PA could not detect
HDMI audio".  For example, is it the HDMI (jack) detection (giving
false even if it's connected)?  Or is it an error at opening the given
device? Does the driver give the proper ELD bytes as well as the jack
state?
