#define assoc_of_nid(c,p) get_defcfg_association(snd_hda_codec_get_pincfg(c,p))

     if ((cfg->speaker_outs == 2) && (cfg->hp_outs == 2))
          if (cfg->line_out_type == AUTO_PIN_HP_OUT)
              for(i=0; i<2; i++)
                   if (assoc_of_nid(codec,cfg->line_out_pins[i]) > assoc_of_nid(codec,cfg->speaker_pins[i]))
                            badness++;

add the above in fill_and_eval_dacs() in hda_generic.c after

  if ( spec->mixer_nid) {

  }

this increase badness of cfg->line_out_type == AUTO_PIN_HP_OUT by one when the second headphone have higher def association than subwoofer , driver create speaker and bass speaker volume controls and headphone volume control for headset and headphone
Comment 3 mimran 2015-11-14 13:53:10 UTC
driver seem hardcode to use first pin spec->gen.autocfg.hp_pins[0] as hp of the headset

and imux_pin to determine the selected mic

this mean that if you set the correct pin default of headset mic (headset mic phantom jack)

you can select internal mic, headset mic or mic jack manually using the capture source control

static void alc_update_headset_mode(struct hda_codec *codec)
{
 struct alc_spec *spec = codec->spec;

 hda_nid_t mux_pin = spec->gen.imux_pins[spec->gen.cur_mux[0]];
 hda_nid_t hp_pin = spec->gen.autocfg.hp_pins[0];

 int new_headset_mode;

 if (!snd_hda_jack_detect(codec, hp_pin))
  new_headset_mode = ALC_HEADSET_MODE_UNPLUGGED;
 else if (mux_pin == spec->headset_mic_pin)
  new_headset_mode = ALC_HEADSET_MODE_HEADSET;
 else if (mux_pin == spec->headphone_mic_pin)
  new_headset_mode = ALC_HEADSET_MODE_MIC;
 else
  new_headset_mode = ALC_HEADSET_MODE_HEADPHONE;

Comment 6 Raymond 2015-11-15 01:47:19 UTC
you don't need those part which implement ext subwoofer jack detection using another node pin sense

only need the part which implement headset mic jack using hp pin sense for the headset which must be the first hp pins when your alienware have headset and headphone

the easyway is to assign preferred dac for the output pins to force which output pin can get a volume control and which pins need to share volume control

spec->gen.preferred_dacs = preferred_pair;
Comment 9 Raymond 2015-11-15 13:58:41 UTC
there is a bug in the above patch which did not call alc_fixup_headset_mode_alc668
Comment 10 mimran 2015-11-15 17:48:10 UTC
Can you give more details as to how and which file should be patched? All this pins and jacks is giving my head a spin.
Comment 11 Raymond 2015-11-16 01:09:00 UTC

only patch_realtek.c for missing headset mic and subwoofer

the alienware model is just a variant of dell-headset-multi which don't implement headphone mic since you already have a mic jack and another headphone


you have to maunally select the capture source to select headset mic , mic and internal mic
Comment 12 Raymond 2015-11-16 01:13:41 UTC
you just replaced the headphone mic by subwoofer pin in the fixup

and add the preferred dac for your alienware 


[ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_MIC_NO_PRESENCE] = {
	.type = HDA_FIXUP_PINS,
	.v.pins = (const struct hda_pintbl[]) {
		{ 0x19, 0x03a1913d }, /* use as headphone mic, without its own jack detect */
			{ 0x1b, 0x03a1113c }, /* use as headset mic, without its own jack detect */
			{ }
	},
		.chained = true,
		.chain_id = ALC668_FIXUP_HEADSET_MODE
	},
	[ALC668_FIXUP_HEADSET_MODE] = {
	.type = HDA_FIXUP_FUNC,
	.v.func = alc_fixup_headset_mode_alc668,
	},
 };
Comment 13 Raymond 2015-11-16 01:24:28 UTC
the easy way is to give up the headphone jack and you don't need to share volume control
Comment 14 Raymond 2015-11-16 08:08:18 UTC
once you have confirmed the headset mic is node 0x1b using the minimal change and the subwoofer is node 0x1a , 
determine the channel map of subwoofer

you can renable the headphone jack to use preferred dac to let subwoofer get volume control

change the name of the playback switch to distinguish the headset and headphone
Comment 15 Raymond 2016-04-06 02:41:25 UTC
The patch depend on function __snd_hda_jack_add_kctl which was removed by this patch

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/hda_jack.c?id=909cadc6c8c7e52149fb4687453277 d6cabe8c80

You need to create headset jack and skip headset mic phantom jack instead of headphone jack and headset mic jack

 

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/include/sound/jack.h

enum snd_jack_types { 
SND_JACK_HEADPHONE = 0x0001, 
SND_JACK_MICROPHONE = 0x0002, 
SND_JACK_HEADSET = SND_JACK_HEADPHONE | SND_JACK_MICROPHONE,
Comment 16 Raymond 2016-04-06 02:45:39 UTC
Just remember add delay after headphone is plugged and before you switch headset mic since it need time for codec to differentitate omtp and ctia headset

So is this issue finally fixed, i mean can i finally enjoy the quality of audio in stereo mode as i do on Windows?
Which Kernel would this fix be available?

And i am not so technically in patching kernels use to do it long ago with available instructions.

Please advise?
Comment 19 Raymond 2016-04-07 08:08:11 UTC
No, you need to recompile alsa driver to create the new headset jack and modifiy pulseaudio conf to use this jack for both headphone and headset mic conf


[Jack Headset]
 required-any = any

Can you get into the mainline kernel which can then be picked up by other distro's :)
Comment 22 Raymond 2016-04-08 01:15:15 UTC
For alienware which also use alc668 but with headset, headphone and mic jacks

there will be no auto mic selection since you have headset mic and mic jacks 


what you need is 

fix the headset mic pin and disable the headophone mic of model dell-headset-multi 

decide which output pins share volume control since you have headset, headphone, speaker and subwoofer but only three audio output/volume controls
Comment 23 mimran 2016-05-19 19:29:58 UTC
Hello Raymond,
What is the current status of this driver, still having sound issues in kernel

you need to report to the author if you want to add the support of the headset mic
Comment 26 mimran 2016-05-20 10:13:42 UTC
I have reported the author as requested, and if needed can you please fill in with the details if needed.

Also refer to my post no.24 in which i have installed the latest alsa daily build from here and sound seems to be fine.

This patch only add the suppport of subwoofer as internal subwoofer but it can be detected using jack sense

You need to merge model dell headset multi and the external subwoofer model if your are using headset

Neither hdajackretssk nor early patching can fix the bug after the above patch which add the subwoofer pin 


You have to ask the author to add support of heasdset
Comment 37 mimran 2016-05-24 16:57:37 UTC
Thanks for your patience and understanding. But where will i find the author, the last one who had written the patch, for his laptop asked me to not to email him anymore. 

? Can you write the code? and then submit the patch? if i knew i would have done something about it long time ago.
Comment 38 Raymond 2016-05-25 05:43:28 UTC
since there is not enough DAC or volume controls for the headset, headphone, speaker and subwoofer

when you cannot build kernel and modifiy driver code but just use early patching

you have tp give up the headset and change it to not connected by adding the subwoofer pin


to test the headset and subwoofer, you need to give up the headphone jack and set it as not connwxrrws qhwn using dell-headset-multi and remove headphone mic pin, add subwoofer pin fix and

Since you can write code, can't you like submit a patch for this issue? 
Like one patch to fix this issue?
Comment 41 Raymond 2016-05-26 02:09:20 UTC
the first thing you need to find out the subwoofer use left, right or both channels by add subwoofer pin and remove one of the headphone pin 

speaker-test -c 4 -t wav -D hw:1,0


do you hear sound from subwoofer when "Rear left" or "Rear Right" is playing
Comment 42 mimran 2016-05-27 15:03:01 UTC
No i do not hear when Rear Left and Rear Right is played? Now, what? Please advise?

Comment 44 mimran 2016-05-27 20:02:57 UTC
Yes i tried that and i get to hear that "Rear left" or "Rear Right" is playing, using the hdajackretask. Now? then? what next?

Comment 46 Raymond 2016-05-28 01:29:23 UTC
you have to post the output of alsa-info.sh after save as boot default and reboot


did you remove  the headset pin complex to force the driver to get the bass speaker playback volume control since three DAC/volume control for headphone, speaker and subwoofer

if you don't make one of the headphone as not connected, you won't get "Bass Speaker Playback Volume", 

you have to give up node 0x15 or 0x16 to get the driver to create bass speaker playback volume controls

audio output

bass speaker playback volume


converter: stream = 5, channel = 1


audio output 

Headphone playback volme

converter: stream = 5 , channel = 0


the two speaker support 4 channels playback when channel tags are different
Comment 52 Raymond 2016-05-28 08:09:02 UTC
when playing four channel

one of the converter should has channel = 1

  Converter: stream=5, channel=1


you should hear front left and front right in the headset jack and rear left and rear right on the heaphone jack if node 0x14 is headset

dell-headset-multi is designed for dell laptop with only one combo jack


your alienware have three jacks and need to find out whether you can use headset mic without headphone mic fixup

as your alienware also support 5.1 by retasking mic jacks as output which create center/lfe playback volume, so you need to find out whether the subwoofer using same channel as lfe
Comment 58 Raymond 2016-05-30 01:39:03 UTC
you can specify model=dell-headset-multi  and use early patching 

by force the driver to keep node 0x19 as the mic jack instead of headphone mic jack

Pin Default 0x03a11030

add the subwoofer node 0x1a

study the two cases

1) keeping the headphone pin node 0x16 ( speaker and subwoofer share volume control)
2) use prefer DAC so that headset and headphone share volume control
Comment 59 Raymond 2016-05-30 01:48:32 UTC
if both speaker node 0x14 and subwoofer  node 0x1a are connected to node 0x4 through node 0x0e

you can  switch off speaker playback switch and play stereo to find out whether subwoofer use left, right or both channels

Ref to comments 62, i have done as you have said and now i believe the issue has being fixed. I now have richer audio output and i am using 2.1. I hope you can view the atachment's that i have done.

This might fix the issue for the short term, but what about a permanent solution? for this particular codec and system so that other's can also benefit or this solution is unique to me only.

I thank you for your patience, and in assisting me.

So now what next? do you need more data?

do the subwoofer use left , right or both channel ? ( change the left , right or both volume of bass speaker volume control 


do you hear any high frequency from the subwoofer ?


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95021


can you hear the low frequency sound from the speakers when using 2.1 profile since pulseaudio apply high pass filter to channels other than LFE 


do the headset mic (CTIA or OMTP headset) , internal mic and mic jack work as expected when you select the capture source , you have to manually selected since this method create headset phantom jack internal mic phantom jack and mic jack (i.e. no auto mic selection)

do line out profile and speaker profile still work since pulseaudio assume headphone jack must exist ?

Ref to your comment 68, please note that when i select Analog Surround 2.1 output and upon clicking the woofer button i hear a hissing sound.

Umm i don't know but point a) would make sense or it would work.

to much to digest :)

Comment 86 Raymond 2016-06-02 06:28:38 UTC
the driver won't use 2.1 channel map since line out type is line out and line_outs == 3

	if (spec->autocfg.line_out_type == AUTO_PIN_SPEAKER_OUT &&
		    spec->autocfg.line_outs == 2)
			info->stream[SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK].chmap =
				snd_pcm_2_1_chmaps;


only 5.1 channel map is available even you add the subwoofer pin and subwoofer is not connected to center/lfe

only one line instead of two in alsa-base.conf

this jack seem incorrect since bit 8 of headset mic is set 


{ 0x1b, 0x03a1113c }, /* use as headset mic, without its own jack detect */

it is strange that no mic jack when early patching

http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2015-September/097754.html

if headset mic jack cannot be used for jack sense, the alternatively is change the headphone jack (SND_JACK_HEADPHONE) to headset jack (SND_JACK_HEADSET) and skip the creation of headset mic phantom jack 

this also require change of pulseaudio conf files

[Element Headset] to headphones.conf and headset-mic.conf

since your alienware have headset and headphone jack, only change the first headphone pin from SND_JACK_HEADPHONE to SND_JACK_HEADSET

Should i copy this whole line into alsa-base.conf?

snd_hda_intel:

what about this code? also in alsa-base.conf?

control.16 {

This should be in hda-jack-retask.fw?

At best, give the background information why the current code doesn't
work for some cases and how your change will help.

the purpose of the patch is to make the combo jack of those laptops using alc668 to support headset only and drop support of headphone mic and headphone in order to enable auto mic selection by creating headset jack which report the state of both headphone and headset mic of the combo jack

flag to indicate the headset mic pin does not support jack sense and rely on the headphone pin jack sense

. No, this won't work for all cases.  The code in hda_jack.c can't
assume that codec->spec points to a  hda_gen_spec object.  This can be
other codec drivers like ca0132 or hdmi.

> It means that you need either to move the flag into hda_codec struct
or to handle this check differently.

Early Patching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set, you can pass a "patch" as a
firmware file for modifying the HD-audio setup before initializing the
codec.  This can work basically like the reconfiguration via sysfs in
the above, but it does it before the first codec configuration.

A patch file is a plain text file which looks like below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [codec]
  0x12345678 0xabcd1234 2

  [model]
  auto

  [pincfg]
  0x12 0x411111f0 

did you set the correct codec id and subsystem id and model

since you need model dell-headset-multi to call the function  alc_fixup_headset_mode_alc668 to init the headset 

and those pin fix to remove headphone mic by the original mic jack and subwoofer
remove the headphone jack so that line out type =speaker for the 2.1 channel map

I don't any other line has being created by hda-jack-restask. i have made the necessary amendments.

it is possible for you to remote into my system and you can run the test's needed.

You have to post output of alsa-info.sh

Check whether you have capture source which has three source

The “what did you plug in”-dialog is a part of unity-settings-daemom,


this dialog is designed for those dell laptop with single combo jack and won't work on your dell alienware 14

as you cannot select your mic jack since the dialog is only looking of "Headphone mic jack"

This look like you are using dell-headset-multi plus subwoofer fix up


If Headphone Mic cannot be fixed up to Mic jack  by early patching  , you need to modify patch_realtek.c to create dell-alienware model

2) remove node 0x16 "headphone'

do the headset mic work as expected or not ?

the early patching fix the pin before driver apply dell-headset-multi model pin fixup

so the mic jack cannot be fix up


you can use hint to disable loopback mixing if this is any noise simolar to xps 13 using ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_DISABLE_AAMIX

Yup you are right, when plugging in my earphone (Apple iphones model) i get to see the unity dialog, asking me what i have inserted. Pic attached.

to enable both headphone and headset, you need to test whether headset and headphone can share volume control by prefered_dacs, this force driver assigned DACs to speaker and bass speaker first


	static hda_nid_t preferred_pair[] = {
+		0x14, 0x02,
+		0x1a, 0x03,
+		0x15, 0x04,
+		0x16, 0x04,
+		0
+	};

+	spec->gen.preferred_dacs = preferred_pair;

So you want me to copy the code above, and edit the patch_realtek.c with the changes above and then recompile a new kernel? right

Comment 125 mimran 2017-03-24 10:28:30 UTC
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.

After reboot

Followed the Above on my Alienware 18 running Linux Mint 18.1

I did everything in the list above 

apart from "Click on your Volume Icon on the top (Ubuntu Unity) and remove the marker 'mute'."

as It didn't show anything different in my Sound properties 

The attachment shown is after a reboot 

So its back to the drawing board for me

Mine is Alienware 14, and sound is fine now, a major improvement, but as you see the developer of person assisting me,has now disappeared.
I am on Ubuntu 16.10.

mail me on imranmohd72@hotmail.com or come to ubuntu IRC channel and we shall take it from their. see what can be done.

regards.
