[alsa-devel] Problem with DELL XPS M1530

[Jiang zhe]

Hi, Takashi:

Maybe we can try handling the ALC268 laptop HP issue in the
patch_realtek.c.
The patch for the hda_codec.c seems to conflict with the code of
patch_sigmatel.c.

The patch_sigmatel.c depends on  line_out_type == AUTO_PIN_SPEAKER_OUT
and hp_outs > 1 in order to handle the 2 HP jacks issue.

/* If we have no real line-out pin and multiple hp-outs, HPs should
	 * be set up as multi-channel outputs.
	 */
	if (spec->autocfg.line_out_type == AUTO_PIN_SPEAKER_OUT &&
	    spec->autocfg.hp_outs > 1) {
		/* Copy hp_outs to line_outs, backup line_outs in
		 * speaker_outs so that the following routines can handle
		 * HP pins as primary outputs.
		 */
		memcpy(spec->autocfg.speaker_pins, spec->autocfg.line_out_pins,
		       sizeof(spec->autocfg.line_out_pins));
		spec->autocfg.speaker_outs = spec->autocfg.line_outs;
		memcpy(spec->autocfg.line_out_pins, spec->autocfg.hp_pins,
		       sizeof(spec->autocfg.hp_pins));
		spec->autocfg.line_outs = spec->autocfg.hp_outs;
		hp_speaker_swap = 1;
	}
 
Thanks!
