As a result of commit d2cd795c4ece ("ALSA: hda - fixup for the bass speaker on Lenovo Carbon X1 7th gen"), the sound output level on my machine, an X1 Carbon 7th gen, was reduced to ~65% of its previous level when playing certain sounds. [1]
Internally, this laptop model has three outputs (PCM-OUT1, connection 0x02; PCM-OUT2, connection 0x03; SP-OUT PCM, connection 0x06) which can be routed to two sets of stereo speakers: Front (tweeters, node 0x14) and Bass (woofers, node 0x17, aka Rear in some contexts) and one headphone output (node 0x21). The tweeters are noticeably less powerful than the woofers. [2]
Before commit d2cd795c4ece, the bass speakers were connected to SP-OUT PCM. SP-OUT PCM is meant for s/pdif output and does not have volume control. This connection made volume control commonly ineffective (using the Master slider in alsa or pulseaudio apparently had little effect or alternated between mute or max with nothing in between).
commit d2cd795c4ece added quirk ALC285_FIXUP_SPEAKER2_TO_DAC1 which resulted in assigning both sets of speakers to PCM-OUT1, bringing the two sets of speakers under one effective volume control but also lowering the output volume noticeably.
Fix this by connecting PCM-OUT1 to Front speakers and PCM-OUT2 to Rear speakers. Each set of speakers gets its own volume control and the max output volume is restored to what it was before commit d2cd795c4ece. This is done by setting the connection of node 0x17 to 0x03.
However, when we do this, the HDA auto config automatically changes the connection of node 0x21 to 0x02. This output, meant for the front speakers, has some "secret" equalizer which changes the output volume according to the level of what's being played, after some delay[3]. This is undesirable with headphones. Therefore, this patch manually limits the connection of node 0x21 to 0x03.
Thank you for this work. Perhaps, Takashi will have some comments to improve this quirk.
The volume control for PCM-OUT2 is renamed to reflect its dual effect. This name is also used in a modified alsa UCM profile. [4]
The new name is not ideal. Perhaps, a mirror (joined) control might be better in this case. I mean to create both "Bass Speaker Playback Volume" and "Headphone Playback Volume" with the similar NID control.
Or create "Speaker Playback" controls with 4 channels (and joined "Headphone Playback" controls).
It is possible that the X1 Carbon 8th gen would benefit from the same changes but I don't have a device to test that. Fixups are reordered so that the devices for 7th & 8th gen can share the same chain after the first fixup. The resulting chain is:
8th gen hardware should be similar, so the new fixup should be applied to this hw, too.

It will cause regression with the old UCM configs. I would preper the manual model selection and switch this when things settle a bit in the user space. We definitely need a better way to control this volume separately for both tweeters and the bass speakers in the user space. The "Master" volume hack is far from the ideal solution.
For this time, keep ALC285_FIXUP_SPEAKER2_TO_DAC1 as the default fixup.
