[alsa-devel] Enable docking station speaker jack for new Lenovo Thinkpads

[Mario]

Hi all,

for new Lenovo Thinkpads (mine T530, will probably affect all new 
[TXW][45]30 models), the model=thinkpad module option does not enable 
the speaker jack of the docking station. Sound works perfectly with the 
laptop, only the docking station needs extra work. I managed to get it 
work using hda-analyzer. It produced the following diff:

Unfortunately, I failed to create a working hda-verb script. I can
change the out-pin with:

hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1b SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x40

but I did not find the command to unmute the channel. Can anyone tell me 
which options are necessary and can this easily be fixed in the kernel?

Also, hda-analyzer showed me two mixer devices, they produce a slightly
different sound. I don't know if this is important.

Thank you very much!
