[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
This is a further report on the behaviour of the sound system. I did not experence any crackling today so am unable to report on its occurrence. I played a video using the Videos app and ontained good quality sound. Plugging a pair of good quality headphones allowed me to listen for any instances of poor quality. None were heard. I note that a pair o fheadphones appears to override any signal being sent to the Speakers (as one would normally expect for electrical switching of the output via the headphone socket) as noted in comment #12. However, I also note that the system retains separate volume controls for speakers and headphones. Thus, if the speakers are set to a louder volume than the headphones, highlighting the Speakers menu item in the Sound panel will increase the volume of the sound in the headphones. When I plugged an HDMI monitor into the DisplayPort socket, the video display system recognised the monitor and extended the display to it. I was thus able to move the Videos window into the monitor's area and get the window to appear in full screen as it does on the laptop's screen. However, the sound remained playing through the headphones. There was no HDMI/Display Port menu item in the Sound panel. Using the workaround as in the initial bug description, I opened the VLC app, selected the HDMI under Audio Devices and, as soon as a video file was opened, the HDMI menu item appeared. I closed the VLC app and highlighted the HDMI menu item which caused the sound to play out of the minotor's speakers. Unplugging the monitor from the Display Port caused the display to revert to the laptop's display and the sound menu item caused the sound to be directedto revert to the headphones that remained plugged in. However, reconnecting the HDMI monitor brought up the HDMI sound output option in the Sound panel. Highlighting of the HDMI caused the sound to be redirected to the monitor's speakers once again. Just for good measure, I switched on a previously paired set of Bluetooth headph ones. Their menu item appeared in the Sound panel and the sound was able to be directed to them as one might expect. What I regard as part of this bug report is therefore the failure of the sound system to recognise the availability of the HDMI / Display Port sound option without having to kick it into action using the VLC app. Other outputs such as the headphone and Bluetooth headphones seem to achieve this but not the connection to the Display Port unless previously primed by VLC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
Having downloaded and installed todays latest kernel update v3.18.1, I now find that the HDMI / Display Port menu items appears in the Sound pane when the HDMI monitor is plugged into the Display Port. This was after a cold start. Since this was the start of this bud report and now appears to be fixed, it might be appropriate to close this bug report. Thank you all you developers who might have read this and made the appropriate tweaks in the kernel.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
Sorry, still not fixed. When plugging in a Sony TV set with HDMI, it is not recognised without using VLC to kick start the recognition. Once recognised, removing the Display Port plug and re-inserting it sometimes removes the HDMI menu item and has it re-appear but not predictably so. Sometimes the TV set displays the message Audio Source not recognised. The video works alright but the sound system output recognition still needs improvements. The Display Port adapter used is an Apple adapter from Display Port (now known as Thunderbolt) to a standard HDMI male to male lead. (The new Apple MacBook Pros now have a dedicated HDMI connector and can therefore use a standard HDMI cable - Dell take note!)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
I am attempting to eliminate possible poor electrical connections associated with the headphone socket by starting up the laptop from cold (literally having cooled down) and running a video to check the sound quality. Last evening, within 10 minutes of starting the laptop from cold, the sound became crackly. I used the Test Sound button on the Sound panel and found no response from the Front Left Test button. However, the Front Right Test button caused a muted response from the left speaker! I did an immediated restart and everything then worked perfectly - no crackles and correct sound tests. This morning, after an overnight cold soak, the system started up and the speakers responded correctly to the Test Sound button. However, within 10 minutes of playing a video, the sound became crackly. The speakers responded correctly to the test Sound button and the crackles subsided. I plugged in a pair of headphones which caused the device identification panel (headphones, headset or microphone) to pop up. However, the sound was directed through the headphone straight away. On removing the headphones, the sound went back to the speakers without having to click their menu item in the Sound panel. (Has the system learned from previous connections?) After a further 20 minutes of playing the video, the sound became crackly again. The speakers did respond correctly to the Test Sound button but the crackles were still evident. I picked up the laptop and gently tapped the underside of the case near the headphone socket. This might have contributed to the crackling sound but it then disappeared and the speakers sounded normal again. By this time, the laptop had warmed up to its normal operating temperature. Since plugging in headphones seems to cause an interrupt that brings up the device select panel, there must be an electrical interface between the headphone socket and the circuit board. I doubt if the headphone socket is gold plated but intermittent connection must be expected with such an interface. Normally, when there is a connection between mechanical contacts and electronic circuits, some form of bounce suppression is employed. Apart from the early electronic calculators that used mercury wetted reed switches, it has been common practice to include this bounce suppression in the software. I am sure that this has not been overlooked in the Linux kernel but it might be prudent to ensure that such a bounce suppression is compatible with the cheap and chearful electrical contacts found on headphone sockets. (Software bouce suppression works well enough on keyboards. Perhaps the parameters used could be migrated to the headphone socket interface.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
Regrettably, my suggestion that this bug report be closed is premature. On switching on the laptop from cold this morning, I found that there was nothing listed in the Systems Settings Sound pane. I chose to shut down and start up again. This time, I found the Speakers, Built-in Audio listed but with the HDMI options shown. I did a restart and found the same situation. However, I decided to plug in a pair of headphones in an attempt to kick-start the system. This brought up the panel asking to identify the type of headset. The headphones appeared in the listing and the Test Sound button enabled me to test the left and right channels for output. I then clicked on the Speakers and found that the HDMI options had been replaced by the Test Sound button. However, the left and right channel test sounds came through the headphones and not through the speakers, even though the speakers were highlighted. I then removed the headphones. Their menu item disappeared and I was able to use the Test Sound button to get sound from the speakers. The point about this bug report is that the system does not function as well as one could reasonably expect. I have a number of people who are interested in moving away from the MS Windows environment and are looking to me for a recommendation. Although Dell appear to manufacture an excellent laptop in the form of the XPS 13, Dell still only supply it with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and include proprietary drivers for the Intel AC 7260 WiFi and Bluetooth chip. I believe that I have moved on significantly by upgrading to 14.10 and using the latest v3.18 kernel (as well as dispensing with the Dell-supplied drivers). I have great expectations for 15.04 when it appears. However, I would not expect any support from Dell for what I have done so far. Until I can get the laptop to perform reliably without intervention, my advice to those wishing to move away from Windows is to bite the bullet and invest in an Apple MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.1. One can still run FOSS applications such as LibreOffice and GIMP on the Mac but it is a pity that Ubuntu has not yet arrived at the Mac's level of functionality, although I hope that, by continuing to submit my bug reports, I can contribute to Ubuntu's development. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
Here we go again! Whislt playing a video through Videos with the sound playing over the speakers, I turned on a pair of Bluetooth hadphones. Sure enough, the headphones' menu item appeared in the Systems Settings Souund pane. I needed to hightlight the item to get the sound through the headphones. I then turned off the headphones. The headphones' menu item disappeared and the Speakers item was highlighted. However, there was no sound through the speakers. Even clicking on the menu item failed to produce any sound. Plugging a pair of wired headphones caused their menu item to appear but no sound at all, even after clicking the menu item. I can only assume that the sound system had crashed! I did a restart and got the sound working again. Unfortunately, the system is still unstable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

Note: If, when playing a video through Videos, the monitor is unplugged, the HDMI option disappears from the Play sound through listing. When another HDMI device (such as a TV set with HDMI inputs) is plugged into the Display Port, the HDMI option reappears in the Play sound through listing. Sound output can be switched between the options by highlighting the chosen output. This happens without interrupting the video playback through the Videos app. However, the Screen Display might need reconfiguring but that is not the subject of this bug report, except to note that the Screen Display appears to behave as expected whilst the Sound does not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
Just another observation: I stopped the video playout through the TV set and unplugged the Display Port. I then did a Shut Down followed by a cold start. Having opened the System Settings Sound pane, I plugged in the Display Port connector and, miraculously, the HDMI option appeared in the Play sound through listing. Selecting the Digital Stereo (HDMI), I was able to successfully test to output using the Test Sound button. I managed to upset it by selecting the Digital Surround 5.1 option which it did not like. I could not set it back to Digital Stereo and the sound remained connected to the internal speakers. I started the VLC player but found that the HDMI option was no longer listed under the Audio Audio Devices list. Since this was probably an unfair test, I did a shut down and a cold start to attempt to recover normality. On plugging in the Display Port (connected to an HDMI TV set), the Digital Stereo output reappeared in the listing and I was able to test the sound accordingly through the TV set - without any playout apps running. Starting Videos, I was able to direct its sound output either through the speakers or through the TV set. I have therefore been unable to reproduce the original fault. I could assume that the system keeps some history of what has been connected in the past and uses this to expidite connection to connected devices, as it seems to do with previously paired Bluetooth headphones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
I can confirm that unplugging the Display Port when directing sound through Digital Stereo (HDMI) does cause the Digital Stereo option to be removed from the listing leaving the Speakers highlighted. The sound is muted and the Speakers have to clicked to get the sound to play through them. It would be better if the sound was redirected automatically to the Speakers, especially when they are the only item listed. Perhaps this is a clue as to why the sound output options are not necessarily updated in the Play sound through listing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1402666] Re: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem
Having done a few cold starts since I discovered the original bug, I find that I am unable to reproduce the initial failure to connect as the Sound pane lists the Digital Stereo (HDMI) option as soon as an HDMI monitor is plugged into the Display Port. This allows the output to be tested using the Test Sound button, even before an app that outputs sound is started. I can only assumed that the system has somehow learned about HDMI having been encouraged to connect to it using the VLC menu. It is probably appropriate to close this bug report at this stage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402666 Title: [XPS13 9333, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an HDMI monitor is plugged into the video out and the Videos app is started, the Systems Settings Sound Output shows only the Speakers, Built-in Audio in the Play sound through listing.
