Hello, I've remarked that the speakers of the laptop are doing a small noise when I do not listen music. If I mute the speaker (mixerctl outputs.master.mute) this little noise disappear.
I thought this was an Hardware issue. So, I've re-installed the orignial disk I've received with the machine (which runs windows 10). But when I run Windows, then there is no strange noise at all from the speakers. Even when they are idle. So, I don't think this noise in the speakers is an hardware issue. So, it seems that azalia is generating some troubles. No ? An another element ... This strange noise is not in the headphone when I plug them. No idea is this is related to the interrups problem. rgds whitout headphone ----------------------- outputs.spkr_source=mix2 outputs.spkr_mute=off outputs.spkr_eapd=on outputs.hp_source=mix3 outputs.hp_mute=off outputs.hp_boost=off outputs.hp_eapd=on outputs.line_source=mix2 outputs.line_mute=off outputs.line_boost=off outputs.line_eapd=on outputs.hp_sense=unplugged outputs.line_sense=unplugged outputs.mic2_sense=unplugged outputs.spkr_muters=hp,line outputs.master=204,204 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.master.slaves=dac-2:3,dac-0:1,spkr,hp,line With headphone --------------------- e5450:~$ mixerctl | grep outputs outputs.spkr_source=mix2 outputs.spkr_mute=on outputs.spkr_eapd=on outputs.hp_source=mix3 outputs.hp_mute=off outputs.hp_boost=off outputs.hp_eapd=on outputs.line_source=mix2 outputs.line_mute=off outputs.line_boost=off outputs.line_eapd=on outputs.hp_sense=plugged outputs.line_sense=unplugged outputs.mic2_sense=unplugged outputs.spkr_muters=hp,line outputs.master=204,204 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.master.slaves=dac-2:3,dac-0:1,spkr,hp,line On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 6:53 PM, vincent delft <vincent.de...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Philip, > > After few minutes up, the vmstat result are the following: > both executed within few seconds interval. > > > vmstat -i > ------------ > interrupt total rate > irq0/clock 48183 388 > irq0/ipi 197 1 > irq144/acpi0 27 0 > irq145/inteldrm0 7419 59 > irq96/xhci0 67761 546 > irq114/em0 90 0 > irq176/azalia1 1 0 > irq115/iwm0 13 0 > irq101/ehci0 107 0 > irq102/ahci0 24 0 > irq146/pckbc0 204 1 > Total 124026 1000 > > > vmstat -s > ------------ > 4096 bytes per page > 2002400 pages managed > 1900813 pages free > 5333 pages active > 9210 pages inactive > 0 pages being paged out > 49 pages wired > 237608 pages zeroed > 4 pages reserved for pagedaemon > 6 pages reserved for kernel > 0 swap pages > 0 swap pages in use > 0 total anon's in system > 0 free anon's > 193397 page faults > 191678 traps > 19272320 interrupts > 52590 cpu context switches > 321 fpu context switches > 81438 software interrupts > 399151 syscalls > 0 pagein operations > 407 forks > 25 forks where vmspace is shared > 22 kernel map entries > 165624 zeroed page hits > 2245 zeroed page misses > 0 number of times the pagedaemon woke up > 0 revolutions of the clock hand > 0 pages freed by pagedaemon > 0 pages scanned by pagedaemon > 0 pages reactivated by pagedaemon > 0 busy pages found by pagedaemon > 30862 total name lookups > cache hits (68% pos + 2% neg) system 0% per-directory > deletions 5%, falsehits 0%, toolong 0% > 0 select collisions > > > > > > On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 9:46 AM, Philip Guenther <guent...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 12:37 AM, vincent delft <vincent.de...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> If I do a “boot –c” and “disable acpimadt” the machine does no more do >>> lot >>> of interrupts. >>> >>> But I miss lot of hardwares (2 cpu instead of 4, no mouse, …) >>> >>> >>> >>> Otherwise, I’ve tried to remove lot of CPU performance parameters in the >>> Bios settings, but this has no effects. >>> >>> >>> >>> I’ve tried to disable HW elements like wifi, bluethoot, … But this has no >>> effect on the number of interrupts. >>> >> >> After a cold boot with acpimadt *enabled*, what's the output of "vmstat >> -i" ? >> >> >> Philip Guenther >> >> (You don't need to quote your previous message; there are list archives >> and it just makes it more annoying to reply.) >> >> >
