Describe your problem

Running through Steps 3.1 and 3.2 (Option 3 for immutable distros) of the guide, I'm getting a failure at sub-step 4, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

The journalctl command produces the following output:

I initially figured this was just a typo in the guide, maybe leftover from a prior version, because the reader is never instructed to create any /usr/local/bin/alsa-split-ports.sh script. Instead, sub-step 2 instructs the reader to create /usr/local/bin/alsa-split-ports-hints.sh. I tried renaming this file to just alsa-split-ports.sh to match what's in the .rules file from sub-step 1, and that seems to resolve the No such file or directory error, but another unknown error appears instead:

Running alsa-split-ports.sh manually, after booting produces the following:

<13>Dec  2 23:28:46 alsa-split-ports.sh: Found matching codec: /sys/class/sound/card0/hwC0D0 Realtek - ALC1150 Vendor Id: 0x10ec0900 Subsystem Id: 0x18491151

<13>Dec  2 23:28:46 alsa-split-ports.sh: /usr/local/bin/alsa-split-ports.sh: line 46: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

I'm assuming that the Device or resource busy error here is to be expected, as once the OS launches, the device gets locked, but the script does show that it matched the VENDOR_ID and SUBSYSTEM_ID values I supplied, so I'm unsure what the failure during boot could be.

Sorry for the late reply, do you still need help with this? If you do, please try running the alsa-split-ports.sh script manually after stopping pipewire and wireplumber:

You may need to run the systemctl stop... multiple times in case the audio restarts itself

systemctl stop --user pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire.socket wireplumber pipewire-pulse.socket
sudo /path/to/your/alsa-split-ports.sh

Output will look like it's stuck but is not (there is a sleep of 5 seconds):

indep_hp = yes > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/hints
vmaster = no > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/hints
echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig

Now check the hints again:

for hw in /sys/class/sound/card*/hwC*D*; do; echo $hw; cat $hw/{chip_name,hints}; done  

Does that work?

to restore the audio:

systemctl restart --user pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire.socket wireplumber pipewire-pulse.socket

I initially figured this was just a typo in the guide, maybe leftover from a prior version, because the reader is never instructed to create any /usr/local/bin/alsa-split-ports.sh script. Instead, sub-step 2 instructs the reader to create /usr/local/bin/alsa-split-ports-hints.sh.

Yep I missed that, thanks for letting me know, updating it now.

Sorry for the late reply, do you still need help with this?

Yes, I definitely would, thank you. I just haven't had time to come back to it, with the holidays and all.

If you do, please try running the alsa-split-ports.sh script manually after stopping pipewire and wireplumber:

Does that work?

I mean.... you tell me. I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. It sure looks like the alsa-split-ports.sh script is identifying the device when running it post-boot, but I've still got no idea what the error it's encountering during boot might be.

[luisbocanegra]

I meant if after doing that you're able to continue the guide, form the error alone is very unclear where exactly the problem is, you could try adding some echos to debug where exactly is failing, my only theory is that it may be executing too soon or too early so I suggest adding some sleep at the beginning to see if that helps

[JakenVeina]

I meant if after doing that you're able to continue the guide

I see what you mean. Running the script manually, with pipewire disabled, in lieu of having it run during boot.

Ultimately, no, that does not work. I do see aplay -l showing a third device on the card, after this, but there's still only 1 sink as listed by pactl list sinks, after running the rest of the steps.

you could try adding some echos to debug where exactly is failing

Either the echos aren't being logged in the journal, or the script is failing to even start, because an echo at the very beginning of the file produces nothing.

I suggest adding some sleep at the beginning to see if that helps

Same deal, adding a 30-second sleep at the beginning changes nothing. It doesn't even seem to affect the timing of the error, so I'd say it looks more like the script isn't even running at all.
