Please verify that with none of it masked, updated, you’ve restarted all applications (ideally just reboot)?
This is exactly what I have done: Full update with no masks and then reboot. Then I masked all the media packages and downgraded them. The sound worked. After this I removed one mask at a time until the sound problem happens again. The problem occurs only if media-libs/alsa-lib is upgraded to 1.2.5. media-sound/alsa-utils has dependency on media-libs/alsa-lib
Pretty much the same issue here after upgrading the following packages to 1.2.5: * media-libs/alsa-topology-conf * media-libs/alsa-ucm-conf * media-libs/alsa-lib * media-sound/alsa-utils My sound card is an Intel Skylake SOC.

Restarting pulseaudio got things working for me killall -9 pulseaudio
(In reply to Mike Lothian from comment #9) > Restarting pulseaudio got things working for me > > killall -9 pulseaudio Same here with pipewire but the linked upstream bug indicates another issue with alsa-lib-1.2.5
hmm, reboot does not help? kill PA does? What about an extra logoff/login?
I'm not using pulseaudio. I think pulseaudio could be a different problem.
I don't use PulseAudio either and am affected. I saw a change in the snd_cards_limit etc file while downgrading, could this be related to having multiple devices connected (HDMI, DVI, etc)?
PA part should be fixed with this: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/commit/ddfc32abf5697de1618b9e7ffdf57a0f97013090
One needs to restart PA though.
New alsa-lib will need a new pipewire release, see: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1251
pipewire-0.3.29 is out. alsa-lib-1.2.5 needs a patch though.
Indeed, I can confirm that with https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/commit/ddfc32abf5697de1618b9e7ffdf57a0f97013090.patch applied to alsa-lib-1.2.5 I can use pipewire 0.3.29 just fine (a restart of pipewire daemons was required of course).
Joakim, you seem to be most knowledgeable on this, so would you happen to know if we need any additional patches before unmasking alsa-lib 1.2.5 and associated packages?

Saw you mentioning me in the PR :) Anyhow I think you need(in alsa-utils): https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/commit/78212445de4c8e07873cbc7dff2abcacd031f151 since that one was mentioned in the same bug report
looking deeper into what pipewire did (_alibpref) you want to have the two _alibpref commits too. I don't know if the other UCM related commits are tied to _alibpref as well.
Yes, I see what you mean, so pipewire 0.3.29 is optionally using alsa-lib functionality that's not in any release version - I really do not know how I feel about that. Let me have a think about that before deciding whether to include that. Personally I'd rather just ship a snapshot once upstream fixes look like they have calmed down rather than add a lot of patching on to what's supposed to be a known versioned release. ;)

Hey, everyone, as you can see a much improved ALSA userland 1.2.5 variant has now been added to the main Gentoo tree but because one of the people testing this encountered a still crashing application, it was decided to keep them masked for now, so that not everyone on ~testing was automatically opten-in to possibly still troubled release. However those feeling adventurous (or just need it), can edit package.unmask to include =media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.5_p20210604 =media-libs/alsa-topology-conf-1.2.5 =media-libs/alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.5-r1 =media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.2.5 =media-sound/alsa-utils-1.2.5-r1 and test out what's likely to be very similar to the rumored ALSA 1.2.5.1 that might be released "soon". Finally, I'd like to once more thank everyone involved in making these updated ebuilds possible which mostly includes people already covered by the commit messages that the bot posted to this thread, so I won't repeat myself, but I'd like to add to the list Sam James who worked with me in getting these ebuilds production ready as well as Lars Wendler who did the final checks, caught many mistakes made by me finally agreed to commit them to the main tree. Thanks everyone, let's hope ALSA 1.2.5 is off to a solid state now!
