Hi,
I'm having a problem with a machine where the parser creates indexed speaker controls. For reference, codecs/idt92hd206-ecs-gf7100pvt shows the same problem.
I could use some input on how to fix it in the best way.
My first thought was that "[Jack] Speaker" is stupid in itself, and could be fixed like this:
diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c b/sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c index 4f7d2df..8e32ee5 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c @@ -171,6 +171,10 @@ int snd_hda_parse_pin_defcfg(struct hda_codec *codec, if (conn == AC_JACK_PORT_FIXED) dev = AC_JACK_SPEAKER; } + else if (dev == AC_JACK_SPEAKER) { + if (conn == AC_JACK_PORT_COMPLEX) + dev = AC_JACK_LINE_OUT; + }
switch (dev) { case AC_JACK_LINE_OUT:
...but changing generic code is always a bit scary and regression prone (even though I could not think of a good counterexample where that would happen), so not sure if that's the best idea.
Next attempt is to modify the control creating function for IDT:
diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c b/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c index 9db3056..c16d0f8 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c @@ -3226,9 +3226,12 @@ static int create_multi_out_ctls(struct hda_codec *codec, int num_outs, idx = i; break; case AUTO_PIN_SPEAKER_OUT: - name = "Speaker"; - idx = i; - break; + if (num_outs <= 1) { + name = "Speaker"; + idx = i; + break; + } + /* Fall through in case of multi speaker outs */ default: name = chname[i]; idx = 0;
...since the current behaviour is inconsistent anyway - you get indices for 1 and 3, but "Center"/"LFE" for what should otherwise have been index 2.
Another way would to just write a pin fix to turn these speakers into line outs, which is what they really are anyway.
What do you think?
