Hi, I've a couple of questions. Firstly, I've been through "MORE NOTES ON HD-AUDIO DRIVER" and was able to use codecgraph and hda-analyzer to identify non-disabled speakers on my laptop (the laptop claims four speakers plus a subwoofer, Alsa's autodetect only enables the subwoofer for output) but I'm having trouble working out how to convert this knowledge into either changes to patch_realtek.c or even a patch file to feed the driver, so that it comes up correctly by default. I do have a printout of the Intel HDA spec's codec layout chapter, but I haven't read it yet. I'm hoping not to have to, but I suspect I will. Anyway, I've been tracking topic/hda from the Alsa git repository, hoping it'll magically fix my sound-card detection, but I'm having a problem with 5b0cb1d850c26893b1468b3a519433a1b7a176be (ALSA: hda - add more NID->Control mapping) which I believe is part of the 1.0.22 release. For reference, it's an MSI GT725 laptop... Basically, snd_hda_add_nids is being called with an array of three nids, the third of which is 0. I've been throwing snd_kprintd statements at it, and it seems that I see input_mux->num_items as 3 (which I _think_ is correct, I have a buit-in microphone, microphone jack and line-in jack) but I only have two analog aud_in nodes (0x8 and 0x9, 0x7 is a vendor node). >From the look of it, this call to snd_hda_add_nids is wrong: err = snd_hda_add_nids(codec, kctl, i, spec->capsrc_nids, spec->input_mux->num_items); it maybe should be err = snd_hda_add_nids(codec, kctl, i, spec->capsrc_nids, spec->num_adc_nids); if I'm understanding patch_alc882 correctly, although that looks wrong in pretty much every other use I can see. It's prolly me not understanding how the HDA stuff ties together very well, but right now the inbuilt sound fails to load with a -22 (-EINVAL) error, which is snd_hda_add_nid rejecting a nid <= 0. I suspect http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297454 is the same problem, and https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4846 looks like it too. On searching, https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4841 is exactly the same problem, and the same model laptop as mine. I'm happy to do debugging and whatnot, since I hope to actually work out the correct patch overrides to get my laptop speakers properly working so any debugging I do for this problem will hopefully improve my understanding of the HDA driver. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
