[arch-general] Lenovo carbon X1 and kernel 3.19 issues
Hi guys, I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 third generation, just bought a few months ago. Everything worked perfectly but a week ago I upgraded to the new kernel version: "Linux carbon 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 18 16:21:02 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux" After that two problems started: 1. Audio doesn't work anymore, even speaker-test fails, I already tried everything and, the audio card still comes up, but nothing happens even using speaker-test, which makes me thing it might be a hardware issue, what do you think? $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice # card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3232 Analog [ALC3232 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 2. Sometimes after resuming from suspension Xorg becomes crazy. I use Awesome as VM and basically it still shows something but I can't click or do anything, and the weird thing is that if I kill "Awesome" and start it again, same problem. It only starts to work normally again when I reboot the machine. The problem is not Awesome either because I tried also Fluxbox and Xfce4 but still the same problem. I can't see any clue from the logs either, any idea what I could look at? Thanks a lot PS. About 1. sometimes while listening to music the computer would give a tiny shock that made the external monitor skip and a small shock in my headset, which was very annoying, and makes me thing is a hardware issue.

I don't have an audio issue with kernel 3.19.2-1 but I do have an ALSA MIDI issue -- module snd_seq_midi is no longer loaded automatically on my machine. I've been waiting for the next kernel update to see if the problem gets fixed. Also note that the ALSA packages were updated to 1.0.29-1 around March 9.
Ok thanks Steven, well in the end I didn't investigate further since it was not a massive issue for the audio, but updating the kernel yesterday to 3.19.3-3 made it all work again, so I guess it was a temporary kernel issue. 2015-04-05 16:36 GMT+01:00 Steven Grace <sgrace@pobox.com>:
