Description Martin Schrodt 2015-12-23 15:30:45 UTC
Created attachment 198051 [details]
Output of alsa-info.sh

I have this issue since I have the machine, tried with 4.4.0 rc4, 5 and 6.

When I boot up the machine sound is fine through the internal speakers. When I plug headphones, internal speakers go silent, but there is no sound through the headphones. When unplugging again, sound does not come back on the laptop's speakers.

If I boot up with headphones plugged, I can hear sound through them fine, and it'll correctly switch to the laptop speakers when I unplug, but once I plug in again, sound is gone until reboot.

I have attached some dumps of /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 and hope that they'll help, plus a dump of alsa-info and dmesg of a boot.

I'd be happy to provide further data to help resolve this.

It is useless to post codec info without the jacks state and capture source control which determine the role of multi function combo jack

You have to post the output of alsa-info. sh

This has nothing to do with it, it's a bug with the intel driver which oopses all the time when you have an external display connected via HDMI.

Regarding alsa-info: You want me to do one before and one after plugging?

Ok, I made a clean boot without HDMI attached to get rid of the unrelated oops.
Sorry for uploading that pile of crap before, it's hard for me to condense this.

Headset support was added but there are two dell laptops need mic fix

It is strange that pin-ctls of headphone pin is zero when hp is plugged

Comment 17 Raymond 2015-12-24 16:05:30 UTC
You have to send email to the author , it is strange that unsolicited event was not enabled at the headphone pin node 0x21

The pin default seem different

0x21 0x03211020

Pin Default 0x411111f0

control.18 { iface CARD name 'Headset Mic Phantom Jack' value true comment { access read type BOOLEAN count 1 } } 

control.19 { iface CARD name 'Headphone Mic Jack' value true comment { access read type BOOLEAN count 1 } }

It is strange the pin fixup add headphone mic phantom but driver create headphone mic jack

You can use hda-analyser to set pin-ctls to 0xc0 when the codec info loss the value
Comment 21 Raymond 2015-12-25 15:28:35 UTC
Do this node always lost the pin-ctls, pin default and unsolicited after power change from D0 to D3
Comment 22 Martin Schrodt 2015-12-31 11:27:27 UTC
I do not really understand if, and what I have to do with hda-analyser.
Could you please clarify?

I also asked a guy on the arch forum if he has problems with his audio as well, and he said, that 4.3.3 (from arch testing) works well.

Comment 23 Raymond 2015-12-31 16:11:55 UTC
If it work before, you need to perform git bisect to find out the regression commit

Your alsa info indicate that HP pin lost pin ctls value 0xc0 after power change from D3 to D0

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/log/sound/pci/hda?qt=grep&q=power
Comment 24 Martin Schrodt 2015-12-31 19:47:01 UTC
Is there any documentation on how to do the bisect? I suppose I need to clone the tiwai sound branch and start bisecting? Can I do the bisect with my running kernel? Is there a way to do this without building the kernel 100 times?

Can I remove all sound related modules and reinsert the ones from the bisect without rebooting? 

Also, I do not understand what "lost pin ctls" means. 
Is the power change because of tlp maybe?
Comment 25 Raymond 2016-01-01 01:47:47 UTC
Pin-ctls: 0xc0: OUT HP Unsolicited: tag=01, enabled=1 
Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 EPSS 
Power: setting=D3, actual=D3


This seem HP power state change to D3 when headphone is not plugged


Pin-ctls: 0x00: Unsolicited: tag=00, enabled=0 
Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 EPSS 
Power: setting=D0, actual=D0


The pin ctls should be 0xc0 HP OUT and power state = D0

You can use hda verb or hda analyser to change pin ctls of node 0x21 from 0 to 0xc0
Comment 27 Martin Schrodt 2016-06-08 10:48:02 UTC
Just i quick note:

This was resolved today: A technician came by and installed a new sound daughterboard. Problems are gone now.
Comment 28 Silas Davis 2016-06-10 11:56:52 UTC
I have a similar issue with the Dell XPS 9550 (bios 1.02.00 - A06) I'm on Arch linux and sound used to work, I will try some older kernels to try and find regression.

However the behaviour I see is that on boot the ALC3266 is shown by aplay -l, but I have no output devices. If I plug headphones then the headphones and internal speaker appear, but no internal microphone. I can unplug and plug headphone as many times as I like and the speakers and headphones still work. But I never get the internal microphone or the headset microphone to appear.

Here is my alsa-info: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=44431e25c90f800e39b5ed0738a9c40fa609ca80

Please let me know if there is anything I should try.
Comment 29 David Rosenstrauch 2018-11-07 21:20:46 UTC
FYI, this is still an issue on the XPS 15 9550.  (See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49157 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1575078).  Is there any fix/workaround in the works for this issue?
Comment 30 Josh Holbrook 2019-02-17 23:46:21 UTC
Hi,

I wanted to report that, while I don't see this specific manifestation of issues with this sound card, I *am* still having issues on my XPS 15 9570. In my case, sound works reliably out of headphones but does not work out of the built-in speakers.

Most of the info I've collected, as well as the particulars of my environment, are attached to this stackexchange post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/500981/sound-on-dell-xps-9570-only-works-on-headphones/501261#501261
