I only replaced the snd-hda-codec-conexant module, I hope this is enough.
Loading of x200t-pincfg and BIOS autoconfig was reported in syslog.

There is only one difference from the stock module with model=auto:
in the new version the dock headphone is correctly adjusted with headphone volume,
while in stock version it is adjusted by speaker volume.

The right side headphone is adjusted with headphone control in both cases, and also the
speaker is muted properly.

The microphone autosensing does not work, the internal microphone remains active when
cables are plugged to either of mic jacks.
The dock microphone is not seen by the mixer (alsamixer).

Is there anything specific that I can test or do?

with best regards,

Ulo
