Thanks, I wanted to try it but it fails: the problem is that you don’t pin a specific commit via rev
, but you specify a branch… hence when the branch is updated, it downloads a different version. Hence, the sha does not match… but worse, the instructions might not work on this new version. This is for instance the case of the ipu6-camera-bin
, the $src/ipu6ep/
folder seems to be empty, so it produces an error when the content is copied.
But I’m still curious:
- which kernel/nixpkgs version/kernel modules do you use?
- can you use the microphone? On my side, I can’t record.
It helped me indeed. There're no issues with webcam nor with the mic. My settings based on this one is linked in Missing ivsc-firmware on Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320

Oh good to know… have you done anything special for the mic to work? Do you have the exact commit of nixpkgs that you follow for maximum reproducibility? (I guess you don't use flake, so maybe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66124085/how-to-find-the-commit-a-nix-channel-points-to is helpful)
No I didn't anything else. I'm using flake with home-manager
only.

Hum interesting, we are using the same version basically. Sorry to bother you, but do you mind sending me:
- a screenshot in pavucontrol of the input device and configuration tabs to see if the port/...) match mine
- the output of
inxi -Fazy
to check if you loaded the same driver as me - the output of dmesg to see if you also get the same warnings as me
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Interestingly, you use volume at 8%, is there any reason for that? What happens if you put it 100%?
Also, if you can send me the output of dmesg and the configuration tab of pulseaudio (there are two modes) it would be helpful.
Oh thank you so much, I just realized that you sent me an email. Interesting, you also have the same "errors" as mine
Just realized you sent me dmesg via mail. Interesting to see that you also have the error sof_sdw sof_sdw: ASoC: Parent card not yet available, widget card binding deferred

So it is a mystery, I have basically the same outputs/configuration/… still no working microphone. When I get back to the computer I'll try sudo alsactl init
to see if it changes anything, and double check if I've not muted the hardware of the microphone via some stupid key stokes…
Can I ask you one more favor, to give me a screenshot of your alsamixer
, after using F6
to select the right card? Sorry for all of this but it drives me crazy.
Ohhhh finally!! The solution is so simple sudo alsactl init
(module a simple bug here NixOS/nixpkgs#294170) Thank you soo much for your help, as it eliminated all questions related to softwares/kernel/…
Now, let's go to the webcam. First, it was working great with your code for browsers, thanks! (just, why is there a dummy webcam as well? It makes it hard to select the good one). But it is still not working for some softwares, like Cheese. Any idea how to get it working here?
Also, I wanted to ask about the comment "leave browsers here for sake of camera support" in the user-installed packages. Why is it working here and not outside?
Great your mic is finally working. The browser is the only application I need camera support so far. I tried to install the browsers my home-manager also. But that way camera support vanished.
Looks like cheese
would have the same issue on my laptop

Note that I needed sound.enable = true;
for this to persist across reboots (this runs alsactl store).
But that way camera support vanished.
oh, surprising
Cheese is for me the only application that I cannot get to work, irrespective of what I do. zoom/obs/firefox/chrome work, but not cheese.
Actually, I can get cheese to work if I run it as root, change in the preferences the app to select the good camera, and restart it. Not sure how to fix this as I get:
(cheese:13230): cheese-WARNING **: 15:47:35.995: stream error: can't negotiate buffers on port: ../src/gst/gstpipewiresrc.c(689): on_state_changed (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin36/GstPipeWireSrc:pipewiresrc1
I read this morning a notification of someone suggesting me this fix, with a link, but impossible to find it again!?
Seems like this is an upstream bug of cheese https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/1978757
It's been a very long time since I last used this laptop, and have no idea how much of what I know or this Gist is still relevant. Are the current drivers able to automatically create a v4l2 device? Because if not, you might still need the v4l2-relayd stuff (create a virtual v4l2 device and automatically stream your webcam through it when an application wants to use it), unless everything has been updated to support whatever new protocol there is instead.
I do also remember the sudo alsactl init
thing, and think I ended up needing to run it every reboot but forgot to mention it.
Thanks for the answer. So the code of p-alik seems to be the minimal set of changes to apply. To avoid typing alsactl init, it seems like enabling sound.enable = true;
does a thing to preserve the setting.
Sorry I didn't mention sound.enable = true
before. :-(
@p-alik do you plan to submit your changes to https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware? If yes, maybe add the sound.enable
line and a comment on alsactl init
(see also NixOS/nixpkgs#294170), and a line mentionning that cheese is broken due to an upstream bug. I also slightly improved your setting to hide the dummy camera (not even sure why it appears from the start) as it was confusing some softwares, see my changes here NixOS/nixpkgs#225743 (comment)

will do on coming weekend

Thanks
The gist helped me to resolve the issue with webcam. As mentioned in Missing ivsc-firmware on Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 I used
ivsc-firmware
only.
