Created attachment 188161 [details] Hardware I installed Linux Mint 17.2 on my Rig I installed it on my mSata drive I have no Windows Op system at all Everything installed perfectly except the sound The sound is very quiet not really even usable the sound is also bad quality and the Sub-woofer isn't in use and doesn't show up in the sound settings I have tried many different fixes from searching the Net I had the sound better at one stage but still no Sub I have tried things and lost all sound and and sound devices to getting locked out when I got to logon Then I tried something else and had to do a re-install I'm getting very good at installing as do it every day or two I did a re-install last night so things are standard and fresh at this stage I also contacted Dell they were not interested ! I have posted topics on Linux Mint forum and Linux forums but no luck yet I have posted information about my rig there https://www.linux.com/community/forums/multimedia/alienware-18x-r2-bad-quallity-sound-and-not-coming-through-the-sub/24443#p24443 I'm new to Linux so don't really know what required when posting on these sites So please tell me the "codes" to get the info you require Thanks in advance for your help Gary
I should add too The sound through Headphones works perfectly
you have to post the output of alsa-info.sh try hdajackretask to change of the remaining nodes (e.g. 0x1a) to speaker with same default assoc and higher sequence number find out which headphones is headset and headphone most likely the headset mic is similar to dell-headset-multi but alienware don't need headphone mic since it has a mic jack the easy way is to disable one headphone jack so that the driver can create volume controls for the speaker, subwoofer and headphone since alc668 only have three volume control you need lfe filter which is available in pulseaudio 7.0 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/log/?qt=grep&q=lfe+filter
Ok When I try and add these commands in the Terminal each one just says no such directory Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong Thanks -rw-r--r-- man/pulse-daemon.conf.5.xml.in -rw-r--r-- src/daemon/daemon-conf.c -rw-r--r-- src/daemon/daemon.conf.in gary-Alienware-18 gary # gary-Alienware-18 gary # -rw-r--r--man/pulse-daemon.conf.5.xml.in bash: -rw-r--r--man/pulse-daemon.conf.5.xml.in: No such file or directory gary-Alienware-18 gary # -rw-r--r--src/daemon/daemon-conf.c bash: -rw-r--r--src/daemon/daemon-conf.c: No such file or directory gary-Alienware-18 gary # -rw-r--r--src/daemon/daemon.conf.in bash: -rw-r--r--src/daemon/daemon.conf.in: No such file or directory gary-Alienware-18 gary #

I don't understand what to do here I am new to Linux and I'm not a computer Tech I just know general knowledge of computers But I am willing to learn the easy way is to disable one headphone jack so that the driver can create volume controls for the speaker, subwoofer and headphone since alc668 only have three volume control I see my Codec is Codec: Realtek ALC3661 not alc668 I don't know if this makes any Difference or not Sorry for being so dumb
I should also add the Sub-woofer isn't present in the volume control Only analog stereo output and Analog Surround 4.0 but only plays stereo when texting The is also "no" sign of my Nvidia cards in the sound settings either There are 3 output Jacks on the left side of laptop The Jack closest to the screen does nothing no sound and no Mic The one in the middle has sound and Mic The one at closest to me the front end has sound and Mic too This "alsa-info.sh" does nothing either when posted in the Terminal I had to search the net I found this and it worked wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh Why do those commands do nothing ? anyway the Alsa info is in attachments

Ok just sussed out the Analog Output Built-in Audio that’s present in the sound output play sound through does nothing no sound comes from that device at all So the only two devices that sound comes from is Headphones built in Audio Speakers Built in Audio And during testing when playing music and its Dull If I plug-in the head-set to outlet 1 and 2 the two closest to me the sound changes and sounds really good through the speakers But I suspect its still in Mono but the sound is crisp and clear

plug your headphone into the jack with headset icon try hdajacksensetest -a -c0 to verify that node 0x15 is headset and node 0x16 is headphone dell-headset-multi by default assume the jack is headphone and need to change the capture source to headset mic in order to change the role of the combo jack
use advanced override mode to change the pin default of node 0x1a and disable node 0x16 change [Jack] to [N/A] in order to assign DAC and volume control to subwoofer you need to set as boot default instead of dynamic reconfiguration speaker-test -Dhw:0,0 -c4 -t wav to find out the subwoofer use left, right or both of rear channels
if it support surround 5.1 by three audio jacks the easy way is to use hdajackretask to change them to line out although this patch allow desktop to use 5.1 speakers as 2.1 but pulseaudio alway use your internal 2.1 speakers when select 2.1 profile http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commit;h=48f1b308cc66152eb6db66742dd0d08d888cda8d
dell alc668 combo jack can support both headphone, headsets (of both CTIA and OMTP type) and mic-in but it cannot auto matically differentiate headset and headphone http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2014/03/07/headset-jacks-on-newer-laptops/ user have to set the jack type every time when they plug the jack

if you can hear high frequency signal from subwoofer, this mean that it don't have any hardware low pass filter, you will need software low pass filter
after you can confirm the subwoofer node, you need to specify preferred dac pairs for assign DAC to speaker and subwoofer https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda?id=6ab42ff44864d26e8e498b8ac655d24ee389d267

none of your alsa info change node 0x1a to subwoofer try set as boot default in hdajack retask this will generate /lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw and reboot post the output of alsa-info.sh
That was after Boot override hda-jack-retask.fw attached that last alsa-info-sh was after reboot on boot over ride as it wouldnt let me doing otherwise it was saying sound was busy and wouldnt let me aply the setting So thats why I did the Boot override

Ok I have changed these in the fw file to [codec] 0x10ec0668 0x102805ab 0 [pincfg] 0x16 0x411111f0 0x1a 0x90170111 Should I disable the HDA-Jack-Retask on boot over-ride
Ok I disabled HDA-Jack-Retask boot Override and rebooted Sound is very quiet and only coming out of the Sub Will this work at all without the lfe filter installed? there is no 4.1 surround in sound settings Ok that didnt work I configured the fw file and put it back in /lib/firmware/ Rebooting
Ok what I’ve done has changed nothing at all It did upset my boot which took about 5 minutes just a black screen with a mouse Cursor most that time Boot up normally takes 15 to 20 seconds
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-tools.git;a=blob;f=hdajackretask/apply-changes.c;hb=HEAD you are using early patching which need the firmware file and options snd-hda-intel patch=hda-jack-retask.fw to fix those pin default or add hint https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt
the objective is to let driver found two speaker node and one headphone so that you have speaker playback volume, bass speaker volume and headphone playback volume for you to determine the subwoofer use which channel (left/right/both) subwoofer node can be one of the unconnected nodes sound hdaudioC0D0: autoconfig: line_outs=2 (0x14/subwoofer node/0x0/0x0/0x0) type:speaker sound hdaudioC0D0: speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) sound hdaudioC0D0: hp_outs=1 (0x15/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) sound hdaudioC0D0: mono: mono_out=0x0 sound hdaudioC0D0: inputs: sound hdaudioC0D0: Mic=0x19 sound hdaudioC0D0: Internal Mic=0x12

So once we have this worked out will a patch be sent to Linux so this patching will be in the system when first installed or will everyone with Alienware 18x have to install this patch manually ?
after you have found 1) subwoofer node and which channel 2) headset mic node 3) confirm that node 0x15 is headset 4) confirm that node 0x16 is headphone which control return true when you plug your hp into your two hp jacks ? control.359 { iface CARD name 'Headphone Jack' value false comment { access read type BOOLEAN count 1 } } control.360 { iface CARD name 'Headphone Jack' index 1 value false comment { access read type BOOLEAN count 1 } } you will need to recompile the modified alsa driver

(In reply to Raymond from comment #63) > http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/7.0/ Still don’t know how to install it Is there a command I can put in the Terminal ? or some sort of file to download and install or can it be installed through the in-built system?
Ok I installed something in Pulseaudio with this command git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio I don’t know if it was version 7 or not how do I check

I have tried to install with this command but it just doesnt work Installation of PulseAudio Install PulseAudio by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-bluez4 \ --disable-rpath && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/pulseaudio.html
so you want me to remove this file ? /etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf is that correct?
There is no hda-jack-retask.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/

Oops I didn't see the 5.1 in their yes the slider does work But cannot do the sound test it seems Doing restart and will do retest
the Slider does work but doesn't seem to change anything It shows HDMI in sound devices How do you stop the sound test ? Ill be out for the next few hours now
I should HDMI only show while doing the sound test

if you don't know how to install pulseaudio, you have to wait until ubuntu 15.10 is releassed
pulseaudio 7.0 I go ./configure I does its thing then go "make" stops then "make install" does nothing So something is wrong I thought a re-install might sort it out

That is, you need to learn how to build the latest upstream kernel from the source tree, how to patch it and how to install and use it. In that way, we can confirm that the patch works for the latest upstream code. If you can't manage it, try to ask someone of your distribution for help. They might be able to build an installable patched kernel package on behalf of you.
I already have a post on the Linux Mite forum asking for help and haven’t even got one reply yet and that’s been about 3 weeks now roughly The other problem is I don’t really even know what to ask Im an underground Hardrock Miner with home tough computer skills and Ive only been playing around with Linux for about a month If I can get someone to guide me I could maybe do it that’s a Maybe
I have also been asking where I’m going wrong trying to install Pulseaudio 7.0 But never get an answer You guys have been great When you ask me to do something I search the net to find out how most times But with Pulseaudio 7.0 there doesn’t seem to be any answers on the net and Version 6.0 instruction don’t work on version 7.0 either
Ok guys I’ve asked the question at the Mint Forum link here so fingers crossed http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=206055
I installed Kernel 4.2.1 rebooted no good was in some sort of recovery mode so I purged it all is good again
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c?id=4b016931a997be59a2be0da3398985a19fdfa5be those realtek codecs on dell computers have aliases name as front , surround , center/lfe playback volume controls are needed for surround5.1 , how do the driver name the volume controls when speaker, bass speaker have to shared with the above three line out jack speaker+LO seem only for HDA codecs with two DAC https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda?id=03ad6a8c93b6df2d65c305b5b5f9474068b45bfb do pulseaudio still work when there is no headphone jack ? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths do pulseaudio still mute the speaker path when line out jack is plugged ?
Ok this morning while watching a you-tube Video after restart the sound was muffled again So I put 0x16 0x411111f0 back in HDAJackRetask and its all good again
Kernel updated to 4.1.7-040107-generic

Headphones are back in the center Jack the Headphone Jack also no sound in Center on 5.1 So it shows 5.1 and 4.1 But sound is only stereo

you have to post output of alsa-info.sh do you have 5.1 speakers ? the internal subwoofer won't give you sound when you retask the audio jacks to line out since the driver auto those internal speakers when "auto mute" control is enabled

if the specification does not mention that it support surround 5.1 do you have any headset (iphone or nokia) to test the headset jack ? static void alc_determine_headset_type(struct hda_codec *codec) +{ + int val; + bool is_ctia = false; + struct alc_spec *spec = codec->spec; + + switch (codec->vendor_id) { + + case 0x10ec0668: + alc_write_coef_idx(codec, 0x11, 0x0001); + alc_write_coef_idx(codec, 0xb7, 0x802b); + alc_write_coef_idx(codec, 0x15, 0x0d60); + alc_write_coef_idx(codec, 0xc3, 0x0c00); + msleep(300); + val = alc_read_coef_idx(codec, 0xbe); + is_ctia = (val & 0x1c02) == 0x1c02; + break; + } + + snd_printdd("Headset jack detected iPhone-style headset: %s\n", + is_ctia ?

There is no output from 5.1 at all But 4.1 is working fine
My headphones all all in one headset headphones wired bluetooth nfc Nokia Monster Purity
Ok I tried an Samsung headset that changes everything Sound works on all jacks but does shut off main speakers the Mic jack is quieter than the rest This headset also had a Mic though
when I plugin my headphones now there auto mute doesn’t seem to work at all
you need to add function just before coef_fw alc668_coefs in patch_realtek.c static void alc668_fixup_dell_alienware(struct hda_codec *codec, const struct hda_fixup *fix, int action) { const struct hda_pintbl pincfgs[] = { { 0x1a, 0x90170111 }, /* subwoofer */ { 0x1b, 0x03a1113c }, /* headset mic */ { } }; static hda_nid_t preferred_pair[] = { 0x14, 0x03, 0x1a, 0x04, 0x15, 0x02, 0x16, 0x02, 0 }; struct alc_spec *spec = codec->spec; switch (action) { case HDA_FIXUP_ACT_PRE_PROBE: snd_hda_apply_pincfgs(codec, pincfgs); spec->gen.preferred_dacs = preferred_pair; break; } } add the following line after ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_XPS13, in enum ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_ALIENWARE, add following to hda_fixup alc662_fixups [ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_ALIENWARE] = { .type = HDA_FIXUP_FUNC, .v.func = alc668_fixup_dell_alienware, .chained = true, .chain_id = ALC668_FIXUP_HEADSET_MODE }, add the following pci quirk to snd_pci_quirk alc662_fixup_tbl SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1028, 0x05ab, "Dell Alienware 18", ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_ALIENWARE), recompile alsa driver https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/sound/pci/hda/hda_local.h if you want the driver output debug info to system log about the headset type, need to change #define codec_dbg(codec, fmt, args...) \ dev_dbg(hda_codec_dev(codec), fmt, ##args) to #define codec_dbg(codec, fmt, args...) \ dev_info(hda_codec_dev(codec), fmt, ##args)
Ok so where do I add this please??
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/sound/pci/hda patch_realtek.c don't need patch or any model after you recompile alsa driver since the subwoofer pin and headset mic pin will be added by the driver as /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/driver_pin_configs: the driver create capture source control which have three selections internal mic, headset mic and external mic those TRS headphone still support when you select internal mic TRRS headset is supported when you select headset mic don't plug external mic and headset at the same time when you select external mic as capture source the driver logic still assume the jack is headphone
i guess you get bad sound because you plug TRRS headset into the headphone jack TRS

So I have no auto mute now should I revert back to 0x14 0x02011010 0x15 0x02011011 0x19 0x02011012 0x1a 0x90170111
if user manual does not mention support surround 5.1 since your headset jack is designed for TRRS heaset which may not support Line out TRS

you have to remove all model lines unless you modified source code and recompiled alsa ddriver snd_hda_intel: patch=hda-jack-retask.fw snd_hda_intel: model=alienware-headset-hp-mic snd_hda_intel: model=alienware-surround51
Where do I find these to remove them Please?
Found them

So If I install the PPA will it install the latest Pulse Audio 7.0
I haven't done anything since I took these out d_hda_intel: patch=hda-jack-retask.fw snd_hda_intel: model=alienware-headset-hp-mic snd_hda_intel: model=alienware-surround51 Is that correct or should had done something with those codes above The sound is back to standard apart from no mute for the in the headphone headset jacks
New install again Is there a way to bypass login when your account has been disabled or to enable your account during login? I have searched one guy said from Root "usermod -U username" but it didnt work are there any sites that show what to do Thanks Gary
Kernel updated to 4.2.3-040203-generic
you have to learn how to recompile alsa driver in order to test and fix the subwoofer , headset, headphone and surround 5.1 since early patching is limited to pin fixup and cannot change DAC assignment
Ok Raymond I’m not capable of that I asked for help on the Linux Mint site with no response at all So it looks like we have come to a stalling point I thank you very much for your help Gary
My bug report can anyone link it to this bug report.
(In reply to mohammed imran from comment #188) > My bug report can anyone link it to this bug report. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107851
I've been able to get the latest alsa dev working (2016-04-02) by following the instructions here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa), installing the "alsa daily development build" and rebooting. If you've followed the instructions in my previous answer, you can simply "remove the boot profile" and reboot. It now correctly identifies the chipset, and the audio speakers and headphones (including jack detection) works sensibly. http://askubuntu.com/questions/491301/realtek-alc-3661 Gary try the solution here should work, i hope. sound is better for me.

Hi mohammed imran Ive just sen this now after all this time installed as above Fingers crossed
No Hasn't changed anything Still doesn't detect my Sub Thanks for trying anyway Cheers Gaz
Hi Guys I've been installing the Updates everyday @ https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/alsa-daily/+packages But there hasn't been any changes to my system yet But Ill keep trying Gaz
Hey Gary, i have a seperate bug report that i have started, which you can follow and comment, and maybe we can get the audio issue sorted out. try this link and follow their. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107851

try this it worked for me, So you fix the sound: 1. Open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T). 2. Write 'sudo su' to login as root. 3. Install via apt 'alsa-tools-gui'. 4. Logout via exit. 5. Write 'hdajackretask' and press enter. 6. Click on 'Intel Haswell HDMI' and select 'Realtek ALC3661'. 7. A lot of new entrys are visible. Select 'Show unconnected pins'. 8. Click on 'Overwrite' on Pin ID '0x1a'. 9. Click on the Context Menu and select 'Line out (Center/LFE)'. 10. Click on 'Apply now' and enter your user password. 11. Click on 'Install boot overwrite' to save the settings permanently. 12. Click on your Volume Icon on the top (Ubuntu Unity) and remove the marker 'mute'. 13. Reboot and your sound work perfect.
All I need is my computer to recognize my Subwooffer I have 2 speakers and a Sub I there a way to show Linux my Hardware?

Regards.
Code yes I wish I knew what that was hahhahahah I'm a Blue Collar worker not a Technician
Hi Team if there anyone there I installed Mint 19.1 and lost my sound all together So went back to Mint 18 and did some Pin work and got my sound going in the two speaker on my Laptop But still no Sub I was wondering if there are any updates or new Drivers out there Any updates would be most welcome Cheers Gary
