[alsa-devel] hda question: 'Headphone Playback Switch' cannot unmute the pin's output amplifier?
Hi,
I'm using a Realtek HD-A codec ALC282. But the headphone output amplifier is always muted and I cannot unmute it by amixer.
I tried to unmute the pin via control 'Headphone Playback Switch', but snd_hda_mixer_amp_switch_put() gets a ZERO value from ucontrol->value.integer.value, thus the pin will be muted. Could somebody give me some tips to further check this issue? Many thanks!
Here are the headphone pin info: Node 0x21 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058d: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Headphone Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Headphone Jack", index=0, device=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x80 0x80] Pincap 0x0000001c: OUT HP Detect Pin Default 0x0321401f: [Jack] HP Out at Ext Left Conn = 1/8, Color = Green DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0xf Pin-ctls: 0xc0: OUT HP Unsolicited: tag=01, enabled=1 Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 EPSS Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 2 0x0c 0x0d*
Here is the pin's controls listed by amixer: numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Playback Switch'
Then I use this command to unmute the pin's amplifier: amixer -c 1 cset numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Playback Switch' on
My debug message show that snd_hda_mixer_amp_switch_put() gets zero value , indicating to 'mute': [ 346.263519] snd_hda_mixer_amp_switch_put: nid 0x0021, chs 3, control value [0x00000000, 0x00000000] [ 346.263527] snd_hda_codec_amp_update: nid 0x0021 [ 346.263532] codec_amp_update: nid 0x0021, ch 0, direction 1 (OUT 1), index 0, val 0x00000080 [ 346.263536] codec_amp_update: amp val not change [ 346.263538] snd_hda_codec_amp_update: nid 0x0021 [ 346.263542] codec_amp_update: nid 0x0021, ch 1, direction 1 (OUT 1), index 0, val 0x00000080 [ 346.263544] codec_amp_update: amp val not change

Maybe there's also a "Master playback switch" that needs to be turned on as well?

Many thanks, David! This works. I need to turn on "Master playback switch" as well.
And could you give me some info about the relationship of "Master playback switch", "Headphone Playback Switch" and "Speaker Playback switch"? I observed a close binding between "Master playback switch" and "Headphone Playback Switch": if I turn off one, then both will be turned off. It looks strange. But the "Speaker Playback Switch" is independent from "Master playback switch": It can be turn on/off without affecting the "Master". Both "Speaker Playback Switch" and "Headphone Playback Switch" are implemented by a output pin, why "Master" seems to be tied to "Headphone"?
Is this behavior a designed result, user preference, or codec H/W restriction?
Thanks Mengdong

Master is master. If it's turned off, all belongings will be off. That is, if Master is muted, both speaker and headphone outputs are muted no matter what Speaker or Headphone element is set.
In the driver level, it must be have so. If not, it's a bug. But for verifying the driver behavior, you should check without PulseAudio; PA may mute/unmute the active/inactive mixer elements dynamically.

Master is master. If it's turned off, all belongings will be off. That is, if Master is muted, both speaker and headphone outputs are muted no matter what Speaker or Headphone element is set.
Thanks for clarification, Takashi!
Is this master-slave logic implemented in ALSA driver or lib?

I don't have pulseaudio running.

It's purely in the driver.
