Thanks. The setup looks OK, the path is: DAC (0x02) -> mixer (0x0c) -> mixer (0x14) and the mixer mutes the loopback path (index 1).
Is it the state where you still hear the static noise?
Yes, the alsa-info.sh script was executed, while hearing the static noise.
OK. And if you mute "Speaker" or "Headphone", the noise is gone, too, right?
No, if I mute "Speaker" (the internal laptop speaker) it is not gone. It is only gone, if I mute "Master" or have a headphone plugged in and mute "Headphone" or "Master".
Interesting. The "Speaker" mute changes "Speaker Playback Switch", and as you can see in alsa-info.sh output, this toggles the mute of the speaker pin NID 0x14, i.e. the endpoint. If "Master" influences, it means to mute *both* Headphone and Speaker mutes would work. Could you check this?
Muting both Headphone and Speaker does not work for the static noise on the speaker.
More fascinating, it is not present, if the speaker is not muted and I disable powersaving via "echo '0' > '/sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save'" but even then, it is still present on the headphone.
Hm. Is the noise audible when you playback a PCM stream, too? For example, you can play a silent stream.
Yes, then it is audible.
Also, what if you use the module option for snd-hda-intel model=nofixup or model=generic?
That did not change anything either. Passing the "mixer_nid = 0" hint also did not get rid of the static noise, when loading snd-hda-intel with model=nofixup resp. model=generic.
Did you reboot with setting the option in /etc/modprobe.d/*? Reloading the module might not work for such a problem.
No, I just unloaded every sound-related module and than loaded the module via "modprobe snd-hda-intel model=..." again.
Then always test with reboot. The problem is about the vendor-specific setups, and it's often sticky unless the cold boot. At best, do the cold boot. The warm boot doesn't cure always.
Ok, I tested with a reboot but that did not help.
In either way, there should be some difference in alsa-info.sh output, e.g. more (or less) mixer items with the model option.
The difference is their, all the "Dock ..." entries were missing, when loading with the model="..." option.
Yes, and you should also see the difference in the kernel messages.
Another thing to check is to swap the DAC assignment. There was a similar problem on some Sony laptops, and we had to swap the DAC assignment since the hardware seems to have some implicit assumption of the DAC. A test patch is below.
Thanks, but sadly the patch did not help.
Cheers, Julian
