audio PKGBUILDs

[joske]

Hi,

I've created PKGBUILDs for the audio stuff. Please advise if you want some things changed.

Would still need a more recent kernel (and m1n1) to use these though: #41

With both PRs, audio (and everything else I was able to test) is working fine on my j313.

In addition to a newer kernel it required a wireplumber release for hiding the speakers. Wireplumber 0.4.16 was released yesterday and is available so not a blocker anymore.

[joske]

Thx, updated.

Hi,

Can you accept this packages ? @marcan
If this work is ok.

Best Regards

I've been running this for about two weeks now, it seems to work fine for me at least.

[joske]

@seeschloss What device are you running on? Are you using my kernel PKGBUILD too?

[seeschloss]

I'm running this on j314 with your kernel PKGBUILD as well. I was already using audio before (with patching of the device tree) so it's not night and day, I just wanted to comment that it works.

[joske]

Thx, I just wanted to check which device, so it doesn't only work on my system 😁. I'd say the difference with DSP and without is quite huge 😄.

@joske Sound is working on your side ?
Im on Macbook Air M2 all update have been made but have no sound but normally is compatible.

[joske]

Yes sound is working. Try restarting pipewire etc: systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse wireplumber pipewire

[liberodark]

Yes have reboot and check speakersafetyd.service is fail

Also have try to run manually this.

m1n1 is up to date too? No idea directly, my friend has an M2 MBA, and for him it works (but he's on fedora asahi).

@joske https://github.com/chadmed/bankstown/releases/tag/1.1.0

[joske]

that may be a good idea, yes

@joske What to choose?

==> Installing missing dependencies...

:: There are 10 providers available for lv2-host:
:: Repository extra
   1) ardour  2) audacity  3) carla  4) ecasound  5) element  6) guitarix  7) jalv  8) muse  9) qtractor  10) reaper

Enter a number (default=1): 

[mkurz]

@joske plz 😉 I don't want to make a mistake at this stage... kernel and mesa alreaddy work like a charm 🥳
Thanks!

Asking in the #asahi channel:

[11:09] <mkurz> Hi, still using Asahi ALARM, using joske's PKGBUILD, trying to install asahi-audio, which `lv2-host` to  use?
[11:09] <mkurz>  1) ardour  2) audacity  3) carla  4) ecasound  5) element  6) guitarix  7) jalv  8) muse  9) qtractor  10) reaper
[11:09] <mkurz> Thanks!
[11:14] <chadmed> mkurz: it doesnt matter, you dont need any of them so pick whichever
[11:15] <chadmed> pipewire is the lv2 host for asahi-audio
[11:17] <mkurz> chadmed: Thanks, I will choose the default then (ardour)

[joske]

sorry did not see this until now, but I wouldn't have known the answer anyway 😁

[mkurz]

@joske I opened two pull requests against your repo, please pull in my commits (can also be cherry-picked or whatever).

• Fix speakersafetyd repo url, it moved joske/PKGBUILDs#2
• Require lsp-plugins-lv2 >= 1.2.15 joske/PKGBUILDs#3

[joske]

@mkurz Thx, but I just merged them without thinking, and now CI is mad as your commits don't have signed-off-by. I'll just revert, and apply these changes manually if that's ok for you.

[mkurz]

Yes sure

[mkurz]

The speakers do not work out of the box. (I am wondering @joske why speakers work for you...)
The kernel is missing two patches to enable speakers, the fedora asahi remix does apply these patches but we do not.
I provide a pull request with the patches here:

• Enable speakers joske/PKGBUILDs#4

@liberodark With my pull request merged I am pretty sure your speakers should work after re-build the kernel then.

[mkurz]

@liberodark If you rebuild the kernel from #41 speakers should work now.

[mkurz]

For the sake of completeness:
With the updated/freshly installed alsa-ucm-conf-asahi, asahi-audio, bankstown, speakersafetyd (and eventually asahi-desktop-meta) packages from this pull request, together with the updated kernel packages (uboot-asahi, m1n1, linux-asahi) from #41, the speakers on my MacBook Pro (14-inch, M1 Pro, 2021) (J314sAP) work like a charm.

Thank you so much @joske!

[mkurz]

Currently the audio stack is draining way too much battery because we do not have uclamp enabled in the kernel, see

• Enable uclamp configs to save oodles of battery life and update some kernel configs joske/PKGBUILDs#5
