It is Lenovo Y550P with ALC272, and in my system, the subwoofer is connected at pin 0x17. I'm not at it at the moment, but I can send alsa-info.sh later if it is of any interest. ALC272 is just a four channels codec , If you look at the block diagram (page 5) of alc272 datasheet , the mono-out (Port H) pin 0x17 has no volume control , and it is connected through 0x0f to [Audio Output] node 0x02. This is quite different from STAC9200 which has a volume control for the mono-out widget The beep-in and the beep generator can connected to 0x0f through [Audio Mixer] 0x0b this mean that the driver cannot assume that master-mono must be connected to a subwoofer. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
