Bug 68611

what do mean when you say "i have the pink jack plugged in" ?

the major problem is multiple digital pins 

 dig-out=0x20/0x21

seem you lost the digital device 1 for spdif 


card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

why do driver create hdmi device for VT1708S when it has two indepedent S/PDIF 

http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/vt1708s/

2 independent 16/20/24-bit S/PDIF TX Outputs supporting 48K/96K/44.1K/88.2 KHz sample rate

iec958 Default PCM Playback Switch is used to enable/disable the sharing of the default PCM stream with analog and SPDIF outputs  but not HDMI device

this mean that the driver should create spdif instead of hdmi even when primary and secondary digital pins are different

I have no idea, i just followed advice on freedesktop bugzilla for reporting here instead. I'm not a kernel dev, just a developer using Linux.

how did you test ?

speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:0,0 -t -wav

pulseaudio check the status of green jack only if you plugged speaker into orange jack

try hda-jack-retask to change the hdmi pin complex node  node 0x20 as [N/A] 


or hda/hda-generic.c

Created attachment 121951 [details]
force primary digital and secondary digital as SPDIF

the current driver create HDMI device when pin default of two independent SPDIF are set up as SPDIF and HDMI if the first pin complex is hdmi, this patch force the driver to create SPDIF device
