I'll do the tests when I get home from work. Just wanted to check that I
understood the instructions.

The problem is like you said. The left HP and the internal speakers never
give any sound, regardless of whether the right HP is connected.

You want me to:
1. remove the mentioned line from alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c.
2. configure and build the driver with full debug
3. reboot, run alsa-info.sh and upload the output

Is that right?

setting.
You mean before and after I remove the line from patch_sigmatel.c?

>What is the original configuration of pin 0xf?
How can I know/find out this?
