[alsa-devel] Asus w5f. ALC660-VD codec not detected
The person I've been trying to help has fedora Core 7 on this Asus w5f laptop. FC7 has sounds. there are 2 codecs detected, one for the soundcard, and one for the sounds on the onboard modem. Link below for output from alsa-info.sh, and a bit of pasted output.

He also has Fedora 10 installed on this machine, but the only codec detected is the modem one (Motorola Si3054), and no sounds. Link below for alsa-info.sh output, and output pasted also below.

I also suggested upgrading to the latest snapshot of the alsa driver, which he did, but no change, and only the modem codec is detected on his Fedora 10 install
Any suggestions are really welcome to help this guy
Nigel.
UPDATE: Salvatore has found a workaround, so that both codecs are detected correctly. Any help from alsa developers for a permanent fix would be appreciated. See workaround at bottom of post.

Ok, I finally found a workaround. According to the thread starting at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/58849 I grabbed the latest source code alsa-driver-1.0.18a.17.g27a32.139.g6e583/ compiled with --with-debug=verbose and got the message Dec 27 15:13:06 localhost kernel: ALSA /mnt/travel/ALSA/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.17.g27a32.139.g6e583/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:779: codec_mask = 0x2
I then figure out that the sound device was at codec#0 when it worked, therefore I changed snd_hda_intel.c by forcing codec_mask if (!chip->codec_mask) { chip->codec_mask = azx_readw(chip, STATESTS); chip->codec_mask=0x03; snd_printdd("codec_mask = 0x%x\n", chip->codec_mask); }
And now the sound works correctly. Of course this opens the question of why azx_readw does not return a correct mask; maybe the developers will be interested and/or will suggest a fix that is a little more elegant/widely applicable? And why did the base code work just once, for no clear reason ? (I did not have debug=verbose at that time, so I don't have detailed messages in the system log).

Well, this implies a BIOS bug. This value is set by BIOS to indicate which codec slot is available.
maybe the developers will be interested and/or will suggest a fix that is a little more elegant/widely applicable? And why did the base code work just once, for no clear reason ? (I did not have debug=verbose at that time, so I don't have detailed messages in the system log).
Not sure about this as I didn't track this bug. When did it work once? Is the device enabled by BIOS properly?
thanks,
Takashi
