Patch for fixing top firing speakers for Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (7620) laptop

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

 



Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to submit a kernel patch fixing speakers on the laptop
Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620. The patch has been tested for a month with
5.19 and 6.0RC kernels.

The current issue:
- The top firing speakers on the laptop do not work. They are not
detected by the audio driver.

The solution:
- assign correct pins and DACs to the ALC chip

Status after application of the patch:
- Both bottom and top firing speakers work as expected. One small
issue remains - the top firing speakers are enabled with a 0,5s delay.
This is however not very noticeable in real life and the fact that
they work already means a significant improvement.

I am completely new to submiting kernel patches so I apologise
beforehand if I made any mistake in the formal process.

Best regards,
Miroslav Lakota
