Hi all,
for new Lenovo Thinkpads (mine T530, will probably affect all new [TXW][45]30 models), the model=thinkpad module option does not enable the speaker jack of the docking station.
Which kernel are you using?
Sound works perfectly with the laptop, only the docking station needs extra work. I managed to get it work using hda-analyzer. It produced the following diff:

This is the reason. The driver checks the pin config set by BIOS, and it leaves this pin unused. Could you give alsa-info.sh output for more checks?
The upcoming 3.6-rc1 kernel (or the current Linus git tree) already has a support for dock for Lenovo with ALC269 codec variants. But it's applied only to Thinkpad X230 tablet, so far. Thus it might not work as is for your device. In that case (with 3.6-rc1 kernel), passing model=lenovo-dock might make it working.

Unfortunately, I failed to create a working hda-verb script. I can change the out-pin with:
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1b SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x40
but I did not find the command to unmute the channel. Can anyone tell me which options are necessary and can this easily be fixed in the kernel?
Also, hda-analyzer showed me two mixer devices, they produce a slightly different sound. I don't know if this is important.
Thank you very much! Mario _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@alsa-project.org http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
