Codec + Mixer: Cirrus Logic CS4299 rev 6 - card 0: I82801CAICH3 [Intel 82801CA-ICH3], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801CA-ICH3] - Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller [8086:2485] (rev 02) - ALSA driver and library are not the same version + ALSA intel8x0.c:545: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300100] error message in dmesg -> sound not working after upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10

Asked by Eric Baldwin

updated to 9.10 and can't get audio to work with Intel 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller
tried to install ALSA 1.0.21 but the library and utilities would not install.
I'm guessing I have to have this before continuing troubleshooting.
Thank you for helping.

  59. [ 239.984949] ALSA intel8x0.c:545: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300100]
  60. [ 239.985007] ALSA intel8x0.c:573: codec_read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x56

So I suggest doing a backup of all your personal data, including the data on your /home drive. Then do a clean install from the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD session. Then follow this ALSA upgrade procedure (if necessary):

http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/08/31/upgrade-alsa-1-0-21-on-ubuntu-jaunty-9-04/

Then reboot and retest sound.

If sound is still not working after that, try this:

Open a terminal and run the following command:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

# Inside the gedit editor, add the following line to the end of the
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file:

options snd-intel8x0 buggy_semaphore=on

Then reboot and retest sound.

Here are more model options you can test in the alsa-base.conf file:

  Module snd-intel8x0
  -------------------

    Module for AC'97 motherboards from Intel and compatibles.
   * Intel i810/810E, i815, i820, i830, i84x, MX440
    ICH5, ICH6, ICH7, 6300ESB, ESB2
   * SiS 7012 (SiS 735)
   * NVidia NForce, NForce2, NForce3, MCP04, CK804
     CK8, CK8S, MCP501
   * AMD AMD768, AMD8111
   * ALi m5455

    ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (0 = auto-detect)
    ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware
      See "AC97 Quirk Option" section below.
    buggy_irq - Enable workaround for buggy interrupts on some
                    motherboards (default yes on nForce chips,
      otherwise off)
    buggy_semaphore - Enable workaround for hardwares with buggy
      semaphores (e.g. on some ASUS laptops)
      (default off)
    spdif_aclink - Use S/PDIF over AC-link instead of direct connection
      from the controller chip
      (0 = off, 1 = on, -1 = default)

Thank you for responding--
So, I've reinstalled 9.10 twice now and with the updating of ALSA to 1.0.21 from the link you gave, this has happened both times. Am I doing something wrong?

Try replacing the following model option

buggy_semaphore=on

with one of the other model options I gave you.

Then reboot and retest sound.

Try one model option at a time.

Here is the list again:

 Module snd-intel8x0
  -------------------

    Module for AC'97 motherboards from Intel and compatibles.
   * Intel i810/810E, i815, i820, i830, i84x, MX440
    ICH5, ICH6, ICH7, 6300ESB, ESB2
   * SiS 7012 (SiS 735)
   * NVidia NForce, NForce2, NForce3, MCP04, CK804
     CK8, CK8S, MCP501
   * AMD AMD768, AMD8111
   * ALi m5455

    ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (0 = auto-detect)
    ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware
      See "AC97 Quirk Option" section below.
    buggy_irq - Enable workaround for buggy interrupts on some
                    motherboards (default yes on nForce chips,
      otherwise off)
    buggy_semaphore - Enable workaround for hardwares with buggy
      semaphores (e.g. on some ASUS laptops)
      (default off)
    spdif_aclink - Use S/PDIF over AC-link instead of direct connection
      from the controller chip
      (0 = off, 1 = on, -1 = default)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the help.
Sorry , I'm not sure-
Are you saying replace
"buggy_semaphore=on"
  with
"ac97_clock" , "ac97_quirk" , "buggy_irq" , "buggy_semaphore" , "spdif_aclink"
one by one and retest?
If so, none of these worked.
Eric

No, I mean:

replace

buggy_semaphore=on

with

ac97_quirk=1

or replace with

ac97_clock=1

or

buggy_irq=1

or

spdif_aclink=1

Thank you for clarifying.
I tried all four, one by one, rebooting each time, with no fix.

Remove the model options entry in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and then try this solution procedure:

First run the following command to start using root privileges:

sudo su

Enter your user's password when sudo asks for it and press <enter>.

Then enter this command:

echo enable,0x00ffffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

Then exit the Terminal and press the volume up button on your laptop.

Wow, that took a lot.
