3 small intel HDA (STAC9228) problems on dell m1330

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have 3 small issues with the alsa driver of the soundcard in my new laptop.

1. I have no master control. Sometimes I have a PCM control, which is only 
mono and has no mute button. I tried the beta 1.0.15 driver a few days ago, 
and I had a stereo master channel and a mono pcm channel, both with mute 
controls, until my next reboot. I've been trying to get a master or pcm 
channel with a mute control again, preferably stereo, but have been 
unsuccessful.

2. I would love to use the front microphone jack as a center/LFE output, as to 
have 5.1 sound output. Right now, the only input I can turn into an output is 
the line out jack, which isn't connected to any physical jack on this 
machine. Is it possible to use this front microphone jack for center/LFE 
output? This system has three jacks, two of which work as expected (front r/l 
and rear r/l), and a third which is supposed to be a microphone input, but 
appears to have output capabilities as well. The codec#0 file reports more 
jacks, which have no physical connection, and the line in I'm able to switch 
to an output from the mixer is one of those.

3. Recording seems to be troublesome. The built-in mic hasn't produced any 
sound yet as far as I know, but the front microphone jack has. I haven't 
really tested recording yet, but I can dig deeper into this if someone's 
interested in helping me fix these issues.

These are three minor issues which I hope can be fixed. I run the 1.0.14 alsa 
userspace tools/libs and the built-in drivers of the 2.6.22.9 kernel (with 
gentoo patches). Alsa modules load as auto-detected without custom 
parameters.

I have attached /proc/asound/Intel/codec#0 for reference.

Thanks,
Frederic
