1.0.18 is very old. Any chance to try the later version?
Takashi
I'm now running with the latest version (1.0.21), initially with the same results. After some fiddling I've managed to get the headphones working by adding:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. But still no speakers.
Try model=intel first. This will use the BIOS setup together with GPIO1.
Takashi
After setting model=intel I now have the speakers working, but no headphones.
OK, then attach alsa-info.sh output at this point.
To be sure -- you got both headphones working with model=dell-m6?
Takashi
Sorry. Forgot to attach it the first time. With model=dell-m6 I only get sound out of the first headphone jack and the line-out jack.
Which I/Os does your machine have? According to alsa-info.sh output, BIOS gives three HP jacks, one mic jack, one built-in speaker, one built-in mic, and one SPDIF out jack.
I guess the problem is due to three HPs. The driver hasn't been tested with three HP jacks, only with two HPs.
thanks,
Takashi
