Hi,

there's been a thread about a similar issue around 2008-04, it ended with a working front left/right setup, which is of course better than no sound, but it would be really nice to be able to use all available speakers.

The notebook has 5.1 surround, but all speakers except front left and front right stay silent.

I'm running Fedora 10, 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64,

# cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18a.

# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfc300000 irq 22 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xc7eec000 irq 17

When I select model "auto", then I get a working front left and front right speaker. When I select model "acer-aspire", everything is mute and I have to use the hda-verb utility to get some sound out of the front speakers, so right now I am using the "auto" option.

I see a segfault in alsactl when I look at dmesg, not sure if this is related to the problem:

I have a working setup to compile the alsa-driver, so I'm ready to test whatever is needed :) Any ideas?

Kind regards, Jin

While waiting for an answer I continued my attempts to get this to work, unfortunately without success.

I tried all models from patch_realtek.c (alsa version 1.0.18a), umuting the channels with alsa mixer and running speaker test on each model selection - but no luck with surround there.

I also tried hda_analyzer from http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=tree;f=hda-analyzer;hb=HEAD

run.py downloaded hda_analyzer.py and hda_codec.py which bailed out with an error: Downloaded all files, executing hda_analyzer.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 906, in <module> main() File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 893, in main if read_nodes() == 0: File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 46, in read_nodes read_nodes2(c.card, i) File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 36, in read_nodes2 c.analyze() File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_codec.py", line 821, in analyze pcm = self.param_read(self.afg, PARAMS['PCM']) File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_codec.py", line 745, in param_read return self.rw(nid, VERBS['PARAMETERS'], param) File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_codec.py", line 730, in rw verb = (nid << 24) | (verb << 8) | param TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for <<: 'NoneType' and 'int'

I am not sure if this is OK, but I patched hda_codec.py and was able to proceed.

I spent quite some time with hda_analyzer but was not able to produce any useful results.

So at this point I am really stuck. Can anyone suggest what I could try next? How to proceed?

Kind regards, Jin

Still trying... although I'd be really happy to get at least some feedback on this.

Compiled the alsa-driver snapshot: alsa-driver-1.0.18a.46.g3482a.322.g6a94f, I was hoping that the acer-aspire-4930g model might have something in common with mine.

Unfortunately no luck here as well; inserted the module with the acer-aspire-4930g model parameter, upped volume on Master/Front/Surround/Center/ LFE/Side in alsamixer and did the usual speaker test: speaker-test -c6 -D hw:0,0 -t wav -l1

No sound.

Based on the info from IRC the suspicion is that the routings are screwed up, as mentioned in my previous post I tried various things with hda_analyzer but did not get anywhere.

Please help, or something? :)

Any info on what I could try or how I could find out about the "correct" routings is also appreciated.

While waiting for an answer I continued my attempts to get this to work, unfortunately without success.

I tried all models from patch_realtek.c (alsa version 1.0.18a), umuting the channels with alsa mixer and running speaker test on each model selection - but no luck with surround there.

I also tried hda_analyzer from http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=tree;f=hda-analyzer;hb=HEAD

run.py downloaded hda_analyzer.py and hda_codec.py which bailed out with an error: Downloaded all files, executing hda_analyzer.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 906, in <module> main() File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 893, in main if read_nodes() == 0: File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 46, in read_nodes read_nodes2(c.card, i) File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py", line 36, in read_nodes2 c.analyze() File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_codec.py", line 821, in analyze pcm = self.param_read(self.afg, PARAMS['PCM']) File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_codec.py", line 745, in param_read return self.rw(nid, VERBS['PARAMETERS'], param) File "/dev/shm/hda-analyzer/hda_codec.py", line 730, in rw verb = (nid << 24) | (verb << 8) | param TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for <<: 'NoneType' and 'int'

I am not sure if this is OK, but I patched hda_codec.py and was able to proceed.

I spent quite some time with hda_analyzer but was not able to produce any useful results.

So at this point I am really stuck. Can anyone suggest what I could try next? How to proceed?

Hi,

there's been a thread about a similar issue around 2008-04, it ended with a working front left/right setup, which is of course better than no sound, but it would be really nice to be able to use all available speakers.

The notebook has 5.1 surround, but all speakers except front left and front right stay silent.

I'm running Fedora 10, 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64,

# cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18a.

# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfc300000 irq 22 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xc7eec000 irq 17

When I select model "auto", then I get a working front left and front right speaker. When I select model "acer-aspire", everything is mute and I have to use the hda-verb utility to get some sound out of the front speakers, so right now I am using the "auto" option.

I see a segfault in alsactl when I look at dmesg, not sure if this is related to the problem:

I have a working setup to compile the alsa-driver, so I'm ready to test whatever is needed :) Any ideas?

I was able to get audio to work on an Aspire 8930G using the attached patch, including routing all speakers. However, I could never get any DACs other than the first two to work. I've been holding off on making a real patch to add full support properly until I fix this issue.

Can you test the patch? For me, only Front and Rear work, not Center/Sub.

I'm currently using a nasty hack which routes DAC 0 to both Front and Rear and DAC 1 to CLFE and some asound.conf magic to make it sound decent, but it's 3.1 sound, not 5.1.

I managed to get hda-analyzer to work and confirmed that the audio does get to the DACs (if I configure the Rear DAC to the CLFE stream dynamically it does work), but "something" is making all but the first to DACs not work. It could also be the mixers attached to the DACs - the actual audio outputs are okay because I can route them to the working DACs and get output. I've tried tweaking everything and ensured that everything was turned up and unmuted, but I've run out of ideas.

Recently I've also tested the three audio jacks in 5.1 output mode. Same problem - the CLFE *output* works but I get no sound unless I hack the routing to connect it to the other DACs.

I'm starting to suspect that there's some proprietary Realtek init missing - maybe some tables or something related to the "encryption module".

Here's a little render that I made of the codec routing: http://marcansoft.com/transf/codec.png

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?

Am I supposed to adjust anything with the analyzer before testing your patch?

Try speaker-test -Dhw:0 -c6 -twav

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

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

You can try selecting 0x16 and 0x1b and setting the connection to 0x0c - this should replicate the front sound through the rear speakers and the center/lfe speakers, so you can confirm that the outputs themselves work and are mapped as they are on my laptop. Make sure that they're set to OUT mode and not muted or anything too. If this doesn't work then something weird is going on.

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.

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
