Somebody in the thread at some point said:
and dmesg says that model=acer was selected reasonably enough.
First of all, do you need to pass model=acer at all?
No, the auto thing detects it as acer and reports in dmesg that it has selected acer. Currently I forced it anyway in /etc/modprobe.conf to acer as part of running around trying everything I could imagine.
- It is confused if it has ALC889 or ALC883 in there
$ grep ALC /proc/asound/* -R /proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Realtek ALC889 <==== 889 /proc/asound/card0/pcm2c/sub0/info:id: ALC883 Analog <=== 883...
This doesn't matter. ALC889 is compatible with ALC883, and the driver uses the same string inside.
OK.
alsa-info.sh (found in www.alsa-project.org debug page) would give more detailed debug information. Please show that output.
It is here:
Thanks for taking an interest.
