[alsa-devel] Lenovo Dock + Thinkpad X260 -> no HDMI audio output
Dear all,
(please cc)
I am trying to get HDMI audio output via a Lenovo Dock Ultra in combination with a Lenovo Thinkpad X260.
When plugging the HDMI device (screen) directly into the laptop, audio output can be selected in pavucontrol / Configuration, but when the laptop is connected via the dock all the HDMI devices appear as unplugged.
I have googled a bit and found a similar case for T430: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36896 and checking the source code of snd_hda_intel it seems that options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-dock should help, but indeed it didn't.
I am running Debian/sid, on today's git kernel (4.9.0-rc5+).
I attach the output of alsa-info.
Please let me know whether I can try some more tweaks.
Thanks a lot
Norbert

Lenovo Dock Ultra contains a DP-MST Hub to provide all those HDMI/DVI/DP ports. Audio over DP-MST is currently not supported by the i915 driver, but there are patches (developed since ~2014):

Thanks a lot. I have tried out the patch including possible fixes for the monitor disconnect issues mentioned in the freedesktop bug, but it does not fix the problem of the disappearing external monitor.
Well, that means no audio-out for now, unfortunately. I will have to live without that.
Thanks
Norbert
