On kernels 3.12 and up there is no sound from speakers on notebook ASUS A8Jn. The last working kernel is 3.11. It seems it is caused by last changes to AD1986A stackups (commit a8015c470e1119a47d55bab83a9c01480714609e) or EAPD. Or may be commit 632408adfe70be6706cb89522b0d5b3dce188d84? Last commits to AD1986A: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/?id=refs%2Ftags%2Fv3.12.18&qt=grep&q=ad1986a On very old kernels it worked with config options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=asus Tested with 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 kernels, no sound, but headphones are OK.
you have to post output of alsa-info.sh it was using ad1986a_3stack https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/?id=658fba0efe93fdef44f65cff391ae2a881e30d90
Yes, but it was removed here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/patch_analog.c?id=0f7dbda0ec3bc4d778d7acf741b220fbf4318a20 I am attaching output from alsa-info for kernel 3.14 and also working kernel 3.11. Also I was wrong, that headphones works in 3.12-3.14. After power up, speakers are silent, but headphones produce strange clicks only at maximum volume. If I reboot to 3.11, sound works OK, after restart to 3.14, headphones work OK, no sound from speakers. It seems, there is something not initialized correctly. May be "Most of ASUS laptops and Lenovo N100 provide proper BIOS pin-configs." is not correct for ASUS A8Jn. Also I have tried to set model to 3stack and laptop-eapd, none of them works. If I compare previous code https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/sound/pci/hda/patch_analog.c?id=cf30f46acde1f84fbf603bba6540cbb40cc6c954 with the last one https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/sound/pci/hda/patch_analog.c?id=c5eda4c1bf6214332c46fb2f4e7c42a85e5e5643 It was rewritten and some init seems to be missing, look at lines 1320- for example need_dac_fix, also AD1986A_FIXUP_3STACK seems different, but I have not studied it deeply.

the original quirk was removed by this patch https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/patch_analog.c?id=0f7dbda0ec3bc4d778d7acf741b220fbf4318a20 The 3stack model was designed for desktop with 3 audio jacks at rear panel the latest alsa driver seem still using mic mix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66621
the main difference is unsolicited event is not enabled in the static ad1986a_3stack try hda-jack-sense-test to check whether you need inv Jack detect Node 0x1a [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400185: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Headphone Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Headphone Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x1f, nsteps=0x1f, stepsize=0x05, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x1f 0x1f] Pincap 0x0000001f: OUT HP Detect Trigger ImpSense Pin Default 0x0121401f: [Jack] HP Out at Ext Rear Conn = 1/8, Color = Green DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0xf Pin-ctls: 0xc0: OUT HP Unsolicited: tag=00, enabled=0 Connection: 1 0x0a
The output from hda-jack-sense-test is only: Pin 0x1a (Green HP Out): present = No Pin 0x1f (Pink Mic): present = No But I found, that in hda_analyzer, under Node[0x1b] PIN, if I check EAPD, the sound comes from speakers! So it acknowledges what I wrote earlier - missing EAPD. Here is Text dump from hda_analyzer with working setup: Node 0x1b [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400185: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Speaker Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=1, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Speaker Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=1, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: iface="card", name="Speaker Phantom Jack", index=0, device=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x1f, nsteps=0x1f, stepsize=0x05, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x1f 0x1f] Pincap 0x0001001f: OUT HP EAPD Detect Trigger ImpSense EAPD 0x2: EAPD Pin Default 0x9117f110: [Fixed] Speaker at Int Rear Conn = Analog, Color = Other DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0x0 Misc = NO_PRESENCE Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT Unsolicited: tag=0x00, enabled=0 Connection: 1 0x0b
Could you try the patch below?
Created attachment 137211 [details] Fix patch
I have recompiled kernel 3.14.4 with the provided patch and also added spec->gen.own_eapd_ctl = 1; to function ad1986a_fixup_eapd, so it looks like: static void ad1986a_fixup_eapd(struct hda_codec *codec, const struct hda_fixup *fix, int action) { struct ad198x_spec *spec = codec->spec; if (action == HDA_FIXUP_ACT_PRE_PROBE) { codec->inv_eapd = 0; spec->gen.keep_eapd_on = 1; spec->gen.own_eapd_ctl = 1; spec->eapd_nid = 0x1b; } } Now it works. I will check, if own_eapd_ctl is needed.
I can confirm, that provided patch by Takashi Iwai works. Parameter own_eapd_ctl is not needed. Is it possible to merge it to kernel and mark bug as resolved?
Great, I'll merge it to sound git tree. Maybe it's too late for 3.15-rc8 (or -final), but it'll be in the next pull request.
OK, thank you!
Now merged to sound git tree (with Cc to stable). Let's close.
