[alsa-devel] Multiple sound problems with ALC888 (1025:013f) on Acer Aspire 5930
Hi All,
I have sound issues with my laptop, I cannot get 5.1 sound and jack sensing does not work (but works on Windows 7; dual-boot).
I have an Acer Aspire 5930 (chipset: ALC888) running Ubuntu 10.10 (64-bit). I have tested with Alsa 1.0.23 (which comes with Ubuntu 10.10) and also compiled Alsa 1.0.24. Here is the Alsa-info with Alsa 1.0.24 (latest), and "model=auto", http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2cbab ... 31dc6a7d70 http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2cbab995516f4b56a7faecf537f61f31dc6a7d70
Here is alsa-info with "model=acer-aspire-6530g", http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=40992 ... 17160cde64 http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=409923a3d8f042804e61f21c7b8ae917160cde64
However, on Linux, 1. the sound volume is too low compared to Windows 7. For example, 50% on the volume bar in Ubuntu is roughly equivalent to 10% in Windows 7. 2. the subwoofer control bar in Sound Preferences Settings seems to control the master volume bar. 3. it seems that only 2 speakers actually work (Front Left and Front Right) as tested with speaker-test -c6 -twav 4. when I plug in the headphones jack the internal speakers don't get muted, instead I have combined sound output.
I tried to change the model from auto to "acer" (tested all the acer and the 6stack-dig models and settled down to acer-aspire-6530g as a popular suggestion) but it didn't change much. (You'll find the alsa-info.txt as an attachment to this message.)
Is there any possible solution or suggestion for this problem? I am happy to try out patches.
Thanks, Elisavet

how many audio jacks do your acer 5930 have ?
As the model acer-aspire-6530g use alc883_3ST_2ch)modes , this model won't support 5.1
if your 5930 support 5.1 with 3 audio jacks, you will need to find a model which has 3st_6ch_modes
[ALC888_ACER_ASPIRE_6530G] = { .mixers = { alc888_acer_aspire_6530_mixer }, .init_verbs = { alc883_init_verbs, alc880_gpio1_init_verbs, alc888_acer_aspire_6530g_verbs }, .num_dacs = ARRAY_SIZE(alc883_dac_nids), .dac_nids = alc883_dac_nids, .num_adc_nids = ARRAY_SIZE(alc883_adc_nids_rev), .adc_nids = alc883_adc_nids_rev, .capsrc_nids = alc883_capsrc_nids_rev, .dig_out_nid = ALC883_DIGOUT_NID, .num_channel_mode = ARRAY_SIZE(alc883_3ST_2ch_modes), .channel_mode = alc883_3ST_2ch_modes, .num_mux_defs = ARRAY_SIZE(alc888_2_capture_sources), .input_mux = alc888_acer_aspire_6530_sources, .unsol_event = alc_automute_amp_unsol_event, .setup = alc888_acer_aspire_6530g_setup, .init_hook = alc_automute_amp, },
