A Fix Is On The Way For AMD HDMI Audio Being Broken With Linux 6.1+
Michael Larabel. 28 December 2022.
More than a few Phoronix readers have written in that have been early adopters to the Linux 6.1 kernel released as stable earlier this month and now finding their HDMI audio outputs no longer working. Fortunately, the issue has been sorted out by upstream developers and a fix is on the way..........
the issue has been analyzed as only affecting the HD audio HDMI codec driver for AMD/ATI hardware when using PulseAudio or PipeWire. If you are using direct audio output via ALSA raw access, that isn't affected by this Linux 6.1 regression.........

The full article can be found at, https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-HD...-Linux-6.1-Fix

The key here is HDMI. I've not had a problem with the analog audio on the motherboard.

Testing some 64bit laptop kernel 6.1.1 today. Been using CONFIG_PCIEASPM_POWER_SUPERSAVE=y for about a week.
What it did, well it reduced the voltage, and the fan RPM, slowed the battery drain, and basically silenced this laptop.
It's one of those machine specific things/quirks, and the generic distribution kernel doesn't provide it for various reasons.
If you have a laptop which supports ASPM and doesn't expose it in BIOS, it's great that the kernel can expose it.

6.1.1 working well on my -current. x86_64 bit and AMD, so nothing to contribute to fixing x86 and Intel problems.

Code:

6.1.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Dec 25 13:36:08 CST 2022 x86_64 AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7

Not running HDMI. Analog audio to external speakers is working fine.

Hopefully this will solve Mr. Volkerding 32-bit issue.

So does here with the legacy 470.161.03 drivers

Happy New Year!

Kernel 6.1.2 does not play well with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.60.11. Startx will start an X session, but when I exit back to runlevel 3 the system no longer works: my monitors are no longer recognized and I have to reboot. Removing the Nvidia driver and going back to Nouveau restores operation.

I know it will get fixed.

After reading your post I dropped back to run level 3 and all was fine with terminals, monitor. Did a startx and am now back in KDE.

Is this the drop-back-to-console issue others were having with 5.19 and above? Seems like it's been a common problem for awhile. Which card do you have? (1050ti, 525.60.11, still on 5.19.17, no problems.) UEFI? I seem to recall a framebuffer issue, as well. (Yes, I'm booting UEFI, not legacy.)

Generic Kernel Version 5.15.86.kjh is running fine on my Slackware64 15.0 + Multilib LapTop.

No CVE References were found for 6.1.2, 6.0.16 or 5.15.86, but as always, do check the ChangeLogs for other security-related fixes.

-- kjh

Code:

uname -msrpn: Linux kjhlt7.kjh.home 5.15.86.kjh x86_64 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900K @ 3.50GHz
firmware ...: kernel-firmware-20221216_52261d0-noarch-1    
NVidia Blob : NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.60.11.run
VMWare Blob : VMware-Workstation-Full-16.2.4-20089737.x86_64.bundle

p.s. I've built 6.1.2 ( huge, generic, modules ) Packages and I'll install them 'soon' but I've got to keep my LapTop Available for Customer Support until later today.

In addition I've got VMware-Workstation-Full-16.2.5-20904516.x86_64.bundle and VMware-Workstation-Full-17.0.0-20800274.x86_64.bundle ready to go but one thing at a time

I dropped back to 5.19.17 and things are again happy enough to run in a wayland session.

I'm patient :-)

The 6.1.2 kernel from -current/testing* is working perfectly on this box with the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.161.03 driver and VirtualBox-7.0.4-154605-Linux_amd64.

Generic Kernel Version 6.1.2.kjh is running fine on my Slackware64 15.0 + Multilib LapTop.

I used Pat's Configs after editing the gcc version.

No problems with NVidia but I did have to uninstall then reinstall VMWare to avoid an 'already installed error' after upgrading to VMWare-17.0.0 on linux-5.15.86.

I'll run 6.1.2 until something breaks or I'll abandon 5.15.y, except Pat's Official Kernel later this week.

make oldconfig already takes care of that.
