Paul, just for information: is there a Chance to enhance the driver to switch on/support the Cirrus CSE35L56 amp?

Thanks you very much!

As announced in the UNIAUD thread I created a video about Paul Smedleys great success so far with bringing Sound on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024 alive.

Thanks Paul!

YOu can watch it here:

Subtitles in different languages are available as this video is produced in German.

Hope you enjoy! All the best,

Sigurd

Critics and suggestions welcome!!

Hi Paul,

thank you very much for still working on this!!

The Sound is the same as before, no change at a quick look.

I attach the alsahlp log file with this one.

Just let me know, what else I can provide!

EDIT: I noticed the "Cirrus Amp Detection is not supported on OS/2" line in the logfile.

EDIT 2: Answering your question (sorry for the delay): Yes, you nailed it, it is exactly the problem described in this thread you linked.

And: Happy Eastern to all of you around the globe!!

May be because I was logged in while copying the Adress.

Here a copy where I am logged out, I hope this may work:

Interesting, I'm still not sure exactly HOW https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-6.11/6.11.0-1020.20 differs from a standard kernel. I'm struggling to find source patches for it :(

As playing around with PMUnimix and all those available unimix switches lead to no success, I opend a question on the German Linux Mint Forum:

https://www.linuxmintusers.de/index.php?topic=86025.msg1099397#new

I hope to collect more information about the OEM Kernel and its difference with the "usual" 6.8 or 6.12 Kernel.

I have PMUnimix installed, you can see it on my screenshots  ;) :D

What I remember now:

As I wrote in my comments before, for Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1. the 6.11.xxx OEM kernel solved the problem with the Sound, there was exactly the same problem: sound poor, because of MONO. OEM Kernel changed it to STEREO.

I guess it is much to much work to forge an UNIAUD from that OEM Kernel version, and in addition that MAY only help for this specific hardware, I have.

I will try PMUnimix settings this evening.

Thanks again and all the best!!

Here we got with the new unmix.list and testlog.uniaud.

Regarding poor sound quality:

I just remember having almost the same feeling/experience with Linux, and that changed, when MONO was changed to STEREO. I found a line in alsa.log

autoconfig for ALC285: line_outs=2 (0x14/0x17/0x0/0x0/0x0) type:speaker

   speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)

   hp_outs=1 (0x21/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)

   mono: mono_out=0x0

   inputs:


Is this a possible reason? Can it somehow be changed to play in STEREO mode?

Just a shot in the Dark....

Another BIG Step forward!!

First time boot with the new driver there are the System Sounds playing!!

I can select an Audio wav.file in MMOS2/SOUNDS and it does play!

GREAT! No crashes when using this! -> I attach alsa.log

What is still there is the Crash with VLC, but this may be a problem with VLC (?) -> I attach vlcalsa.log und POPUPLOG.OS2 (renamed)

No complaining, just to let you know: The quality of the sound is quite poor, compared to Windows or Linux. I would say the Bass tones are missing. I will create a video this evening and post it at youtube, so that you can hear it yourself.

It is very promising, would be great to have "full sound", I will play a little bit more with PMUNIMIX etc. later this day, as soon as I have some time!

Thanks again Paul and all the others, you almost did it!!

Sigurd

Thanks Sigurd, I'll have a look at these a bit later. I've just been thinking about this part of your testlog:
Code: [Select]
Period size min=2f0 max=2f0
Error -22 second time.. Bailing

I see this exct errorcode in alll of the three logs (alsa.log and 2lsa.log and the 3rd one) as well.

And there is another line multiple times before this saying:

ALC285: Invalid fixup type 0

Hi Sigurd!

Long time no talk - hope your fantasy series is ticking along - I'm now 150 pages into writing a novel myself, if only I can find the time to finish it.

Just was wondering, as I dropped a note to Paul today, whether you had tried disabling the AUTO-MUTE switch as a way of getting sound, if your using the RealTek audio on your machine (mine uses Realtek ALC892 successfully).

I tried Pauls latest build and there definitely seems to be some problems with the Realtek portion of the code, build dated 14/04/2025, at least for me.

The UNIAUD build I'm using successfully for RealTek is dated 29/10/2021. I think you said you already had checked your computers Realtek component using unimix -list. If you wanted to try to see whether that fixes your problem.

The statement I used to disable AUTO-MUTE is unimix.exe -id20 -val0=0 however you would need to substitute the ID for your Realtek hardware for the one I have for mine. If you wanted it can be entered from a command prompt window on your desktop, to test first, incase of booting problems, by typing unimix.exe -idX -val0=0, where X is your ID. After entering that, use something that produces sound to see if its working.

I can also provide you a copy of my STARTUP.CMD file if you wanted to modify it and use it if the test is successful. The STARTUP file for this is really simple - again just substitute the -id number that I found for my system with that of yours.

As always, Best to you Sir and a fine week and Easter weekend!

In the end, you would be able to do this yourself. We are too few developers so you will have to learn to become one :-)

Cheers, Lars

I doubt this will ever happen, a lack of time and skill. I do not even understand where this here is going to lead me.

I will follow your suggestions later this evening, thank you very much.

Hi Mark,

glad to hear you are OK and writing a Novel - great! My 5th part is going well, I think I can finish it in time (Release Date 25/9/25) because I have to have a knee surgery (new knee) in May, I will be 4 weeks of work then and have fortunately and hopefully enough time for the book.

I will test automute later, but I guess, from what I understand so far - the problem with my hardware is somewhere in the communication between uniaud32.sys and uniaud16.sys

Paul is doing a tremendous job, so I hope to get sound to run on this really marvelous Laptop.

All the best and thanks for your help!

Sigurd

Hi Paul,

followed your instructions:

- Played with VLC a longer video -> created attached alsa.log and after that 2lsa.log while playing it
- If I close the VLC application while playing the Video with the "close button", no hang

- Played the short parrot video and tried to catch up also.log the moment it crashed when the 3 second video was finished -> created attached stop-vlc-video-manual-alsa.log
- This time after VLC and the WPS crashed I was able to escape with CRTL-ALT-DEL with the TOP Program, but got unusable WPS afterwards because of graphical artefacts

- Attached popuplog.os2 from the moment VLC crashed as decribed before (had to rename it to popuplog.txt, otherwise no upload possible)

Hope that helps!

Hi all,

@Mark - sorry, its a bit late, I will answer you tomorrow, Sir!

@Lars - I think about it once again, regarding differences in hardware - the only thing I did during testing was switching form 16 to 1 CPU (/MAXCPU=1 Switch in config.sys). Do not know, if that effect things in any way

Some really promising progress here!!

As suggested by Paul I installed VLC Player 3.0.21 to test if there is any sound when using the k-interface for Audio - and YES, it does!!

For the first time ever I hear sound (the famous parrot video from Warp 3 was my choice)

But - when the video is finished or I stop it manually, the WPS Hardlocks. Only a reboot let things go on.

I attach;

- unimix -list.txt
- a screenshot from PMUNIMIX, no special switches in advance!
- a screenshot from the Desktop, showing VLC

What else can I provide ?

As it is time to go to sleep for the old man, my next answer will take some hours :-)

Thanks again to all of you!

The trap Screens are from the same Laptop (allways ASUS ROG Zephyrus), nothing changed.

A guess: it is a triple boot system, may one of the other Operating Sytems (Windows 11, Linux Mint Cinnamon)  change Hardware adresses when it is in use?

Anything else I can provide?
