Hi Tobin,
Here are the Linux and WinXP pin configurations. Both Linux and WinXP configure node 0x0c as an output pin.
However the driver seems to be offering three schemes:
scheme desc 0xC dev
IDS_CONFIG_OPEN Speaker_Side/LineIn IDS_CONFIG_51 LineIn IDS_CONFIG_71 Speaker_SidePaulo, maybe you can run these commands to switch between linein/lineout modes:
# wgethttp://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/hda-verb-0.3.tar.bz...
# set PIN_IN mode hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D2 0x0c SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x20 # set PIN_OUT mode hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D2 0x0c SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x40Regarding the default pin configurations. I made a series of patches to add the interface to change the default pincfg values dynamically via hwdep sysfs. The patches are found in test/hda-pincfg branch of sound git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
and included in the very latest alsa-driver-unstable snapshot
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
Basically, you can get / set the default pincfg values on the fly, and trigger the codec reconfiguration after that.
The init_pin_configs file shows the initial default pincfgs set by BIOS.
# cat /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/init_pin_configs 0x14 0x9993013f 0x15 0x01014c10 0x16 0x99030120 0x18 0x01a19c30 0x19 0x02a11c31 0x1a 0x01813c32 0x1b 0x02211c1f 0x1c 0x99330133 0x1d 0x411111f0 0x1e 0x411111f0 0x1f 0x411111f0Then, you can override the default value by writing to override_pin_configs sysfs file.
# cat /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/override_pin_configs # echo 0x1d 0x02a11c30 >/sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/override_pin_configs
# cat /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/override_pin_configs 0x1d 0x02a11c30Note that this value won't appear in init_pin_configs.
Also, there is another file, cur_pin_configs. This contains the pincfgs that are set by the driver explicitly. For example, the static pincfg table in patch_sigmatel.c appears here.
Then you can trigger the codec reconfiguration by
# echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfigThis will re-setup the driver based on the given pin configs.
Unfortunately, in the current scenario, it can't override the static pincfg table in the driver like in patch_sigmatel.c. It's just for fixing and BIOS setup.
If override_pin_configs cannot override the values in cur_pin_configs (or will it later?), then the name is kind of misleading.
How about the names bios_pin_configs, driver_pin_configs and user_pin_configs?
Having a tool for reconfiguring the pins seems to be the only hope for fixing the problems of all cards available out there.
However, I fixed my problem. The Dell Vostro 1400 (STAC9228) uses the model "dell-bios" by default. The problem is that plugging the headphones does not mute the speakers, and the digital mic does not work at all.
The model that works better is the "dell-3stack". But in this case there is no analog mic available (the digital mic works, but it is too low).
Comparing the codecs I realizaded that the problem was that the pin/node 0x0e (mic) was 0x01a19040 in the ref model and 0x01111212 in the del-3stack. Then I just switched their positions in the initialization, and voilá, I have an analog mic using the model I want, that is, del-3stack.
Unfortunately, I know I did not contribute to anything. I just changed a codec to fit my needs, and maybe created a lot of noise tn the process.
Cheers,
and thanks for all the guidance I received.
