*Issue : Asus UX534FTC / Realtek ALC294 (Intel HDA Audio) : no sound on speaker/headphone*
*alsa-info.sh* result : http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=60e024dac6825780881069f6d2b2e28992645c6c
Hi,
I'm Valere a French electronic engineer (hardware & software development) and I'm moving back from Mac to a full Linux machine using Archlinux. I've managed to configure almost everything on the hardware plan except for the sound system.
I've searched a lot, but I keep findings options such as : - changing the "model=" option for "intel hda audio" kernel module, which I tried with various options such as 'laptop', 'asus-zenbook', 'auto', ... (option is taken by driver module verified in /sys/module/...). - building part of the kernel with a so called "realtek patch" which as far as I can tell doesn't include yet my machine (by the way I'm not sure how to do that) - I also have 'hdajackretask' but I can't manage to understand exactly what I'm supposed to do with it and even made it working properly - I've also tried to modify the realteck_patch file and rebuild the kernel module for hda_audio_intel, but it's not yet successful
/I'm would appreciate some help, I'm okay to work on coding/testing myself the patch and submit it for the mainstream kernel, but I'm gonna need help to understand what to do. I don't know how to find what routing option or GPIO must be controlled to activate output on Speaker/Headphone./
I don't understand the Linux audio system but I'm a C/C++/Python programmer both on micro controllers and embedded linux (Beaglebone/Raspberry Pi), so I can try to be relatively proactive in testing the various solutions.
If a solution is found (I hope so), I'll also document it on Archlinux (I created a page for UX534FT).
I added to this mail (under) as much information as I could regardin my audio system and computer.
Best regards
Valère -------
*Intel HD Audio Issue *: - no sound neither on Speaker nor on Headphones - integrated microphone working properly - Bluetooth Audio and USB Audio external keys are ok (so global sound management seems ok)
