In addition, I have a question about the second machine, which looks like this:
numid=45,iface=CARD,name='Front Headphone Jack' numid=47,iface=CARD,name='Front Mic Jack' numid=48,iface=CARD,name='Line Jack' numid=41,iface=CARD,name='Line-Out Jack' numid=42,iface=CARD,name='Line-Out Jack',index=1 numid=43,iface=CARD,name='Line-Out Jack',index=2 numid=44,iface=CARD,name='Line-Out Jack',index=3 numid=46,iface=CARD,name='Rear Mic Jack'
Would it be possible to name the Line-Out Jacks "Front Line-Out", "Surround Line-Out" etc, so one can tell which one is which? Or can you always tell that just from the order of them?
I can assign more intuitive names for the output, certainly. I'll consider the implementation.
How about those dell xps notebooks which have dual headphone jacks ?
Perhaps, the jacks should be described (control name) using physical parameters (location, color, connector type). Many codecs support both directions and I saw some bug-reports that ALSA cannot reassign the direction of jacks -
We can essentially do that in snd-hda-intel with the reconfiguration feature. That will also recreate the jacks with the new name. This seems to be a reasonable way forward IMO.
can you describe more detail about the reconfiguration since I try to solve the problem of asus M2N ad1988 with 3 audio jacks(green, blue and pink at rear panel) by the auto model instead of "3stack" model?
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=63240
the current implementation of the "3stack" use 3stack_init_verb to retask the blue and pink jacks as output and the rear mic is not working
This is quite common for those MATX motherboard with 3 jacks at rear panel (e.g. hda-emu/codecs/alc662-intel-d945gclf2 )
when switch "channel mode" to 6, alc_hp_automute() does not mute the retasked blue and pink jacks
