Hmm, I applied the patch to the latest git, selected model acer-aspire-4930g, upped volume in the mixers and ran: speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:surround51 -t wav -l1
Got only front left / front right output. What am I missing?
Try speaker-test -Dhw:0 -c6 -twav
indeed, my mistake: speaker-test -c6 -Dhw:0,0 -t wav does output on front l/r and rear l/r.
Make sure that 6ch mode is selected in the mixer (this should not be necessary as it relates to the jacks, but that's one of the things I'd have to fix for a "real" patch), and that the relevant volume levels are turned up.
If it doesn't work, please attach your /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 file
Am I supposed to adjust anything with the analyzer before testing your patch?
Not in theory, but you can try some things.
Here's what the relevant NIDs correspond to: 0x02 - (normally) Front DAC 0x03 - (normally) Rear DAC 0x04 - (normally) CLFE DA
0x0c - (normally) Front mixer 0x0d - (normally) Rear mixer 0x0e - (normally) CLFE mixer
0x14 - Front speakers pin 0x15 - Headphones pin (also EAPD for speaker amp) 0x16 - CLFE speakers pin 0x1b - Rear speakers pin
A friend of mine helped me out with the analyzer yesterday, here's some additional info:
0x17 -> black jack 0x18 -> pink jack 0x1a -> blue jack
He also confirmed that this one DAC that you mentioned does not do what it is supposed to. His suspicion was that it may not be initialized correctly or something like that.
So overall - some progress and your patch worked for me in the end.
I'll gladly test whatever you come up with regarding the remaning problem with the DAC.
Kind regards, Jin
