alsa-info output for 3.17.7

Hi.

Done. I did for 3.17.7. Should I also post it for 4.0-rc1?

That thread doesn't seem related, besides it's old, and I am not using the nvidia driver at all.

I have no idea what that means, sorry for my noobness. It always worked and I didn't do anything to make it work. I don't use an asoundrc, just the defaults.

you need to use 

hdajacksensetest -a

to find out headphone and mic jack 


use hda-analyzer to change the volume slider to find out internal speaker and mic

use hdajackretask to fix the pin default of headphone, internal speaker , mic and internal mic

change pin default of node 0x1d from [Fixed] to [N/A]

Thanks for all the advise. 

Unfortunately I can't get anything clear out of this.

After searching a bit I see that hdajacksensetest is a recent addition to alsa-tools so I downloaded the source package and compiled just that tool. I can run it and it shows:

Pin 0x14 (Black Line Out, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x15 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x16 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x17 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x18 (Pink Mic, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x19 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1a (Blue Line In, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x1b (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1c (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1d (Internal Line In, ATAPI): present = No
Pin 0x1e (Black SPDIF Out, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x1f (Not connected): present = No

So 14 and 18 are headphones and mic. 

I downloaded hda-analyzer from some other random place since it doesn't seem to be present in my gentoo install either, and it shows a GUI where I can see not only those nodes listed above, but a lot more. 

In any case, I went from 0x14 to 0x1f, un-checking all mute boxes and then turning all the val[0] and val[1] sliders to the right.

All of this while playing an mp3 file in a terminal. I can hear thru the earphones when I plug them, but there's no sound at all coming out of my speakers.

Please, forgive me if I am missing something obvious, I have no idea what those "nodes" are and I have no idea if I have to do something else (sort of clicking an "apply" button or whatever) to put the changes to good use.

As said, just moving the sliders in those nodes listed above changes nothing.


Oh, one thing that I noticed in dmesg is this:

[  253.017035] CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec

I have no idea if it might be related or not.

Again, thanks.

Have you plugged headphone or mic ?

present = Yes when you plugged and no when unplugged headphone and mic

you need to post the output of alsa-info.sh using the previous version of livecd which still have sound from speaker

the previous alc883_acer_aspire assume 

hp at node 0x14

and speaker at node 0x15 and node 0x16

None of them was plugged when I ran this command, I didn't think it necessary since I understood that that command was aimed at identifying the "pins", whatever they are. I take 14 is my headphones out, and 18 is my mic in.

One thing that might or might not be important, is that in my laptop case I can see and "SPDIF" label next to the same hole where the earphones are plugged, which means that SPDIF out (0x1e) and line out (0x14) share the same physical port.

Just to clear out any possible confussion: I haven't a problem with any of these. My problem is that the laptop integrated speakers doesn't make any sound since kernel 3.18. That doesn't change if I plug or unplug earphones.

3.17.7 and below is fine. It's always been fine.

The output I posted *is* from 3.17.7, which is the kernel where sound works.

The internal speaker is not listed (at least to my untrained eye), but it works.

I tinkered around a bit after looking at that simple patch. But I can't find that concrete chunck of code in sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c (I looked at 3.17.7 and 4.0_rc1).

I don't think it matters though, because my laptop doesn't seem to be using that chip (lsmod output below).

you need to clear bit 8 of pin default and set it to Headphone by hdajackretask

Thanks. I'll try. Is there a way to compile hdajackretask without gtk3?

Nevermind, I compiled it and it didn't take that long.

I started that little tools and ticked "show unconnected pins".

Ticked override pin 14, then selected headphones.

Ticked override pin 15, then selected internal speaker, clicked apply, tested and no sound.

Then iterated that same procedure for all the unconnected pins, same result.

On each iteration, I ran alsamixer and unmutted the master channel and raised vol to 100%, because it kept mutting itself and setting to 0%. But still no sound came out of the internal speakers.

alsa-info output for 4.0_rc1

have you set boot default and reboot ?

since you have change lineout to headphone, the channel mode control should not appear. since it require three jack (line out, mic and line in)






you can retask four pin complex  which pincap support OUT as speaker with same def assoc and ascending sequence number

since hda-intel use copy front which sound will copy to 7.1 speaker and you can know which node if the corresponding volume control

(In reply to Raymond from comment #15)
> have you set boot default and reboot ?

You mean click the button to "install boot override"?

I thought that button was intended to make the changes permanent across reboots, but that changes are instant and should work without the need for a reboot, don't they?

If you truly need to reboot for the changes to take effect then I don't understand at all how this little tool does the job (but then I know nothing about this particular topic at all and, in general, about ALSA internals).

I see controls changing in the mixer (as I told you, I use alsamixer after each change to see what's happening and rise the volume if needed).

You'll have to forgive me but I don't really follow you here.

It's just a set of stereo internal speakers in a laptop. And hdajacksentest seems to detect the same pins with 3.17.7 (which works) and with 3.18, 3.19 and 4.0_rc1 (which do not work).

I have tried assigning the "internal speaker" to every possible pin, and with each change I ran alsamixer to unmute and raise everything. But haven't managed to get a sound from my laptop speakers.

So I'm stuck at kernel 3.17.7 which works right out of the box.

I'll make some more tests later if I manage to get some free time. If I find anything I'll report back.

Again, thanks for all the help.

seem you are using dynamic reconfig since control id jump from 44 to 1016

but init pin cfg and usert pin cfg are the same and the channel mode control still exist

you info did not show how you retasked those pins

Sorry for taking so long to come back. I have been experimenting as time permitted, but I must confess I just haven't had any luck regarding this issue.

Quite frustrating.

I will definitely need some spoon feeding if this is to be sorted out at all, otherwise I will have to discard this laptop which is a pitty since it works ok.

I have some doubts.

First, I have no clear idea what those pins are so I have no idea if they are completely arbitrary or if I need to take something into account when overriding them. I have no idea if there's anything that I shouldn't override Or if I can just override all of them to whatever in or out I please.

Secondly, I have no idea what the option to install the boot override does. Whether it depends on the tools being installed (as said, Gentoo doesn't provide hdajackretask and I am compiling it at $HOME and running it from there) or if that override depends upon a concrete init system or whatever else (how it loads, whatever it is).

Thirdly, I would really like to know if I truly need that just to test the settings. If you ask me, I would assume that the apply button serves the purpose of applying the damn thing, and that the boot override is only intended to make the thing persistent across reboots. But I might be wrong.

I want to clear these out just to ease the tests as much as possible.

Thanks.

Hi again.

I can't comment on the details right now. But it seems to work if I pass model=acer-aspire to the module snd-hda-intel.

It used to work without this until 3.18.

OK, I'm going to queue the fix to apply the model automatically.  It'll be backported to stable kernels eventually later.
