[HP Envy 4 Sleekbook] external audio jacks are reversed

[Jeff Lane ]

Looking at the outside of the system, the external audio jacks are in this order:

Mic ___ Headphone ___

However, on testing, it appears that they are either mislabled, or the outputs are reversed internally. I had to plug the headphones into the Mic jack to hear sound, and plug the mic into the headphone jack to record sound.

node 0x0b does not support input, it is unlikely that they are reversed

you have to run

hda-jack-sense-test -a

when you plugged and unplugged

both HP and Mic are not plugged

Mic Jack was changed to line in Jack by Mic Jack mode control

does pulseaudio know the Mic Jack was retasked as line in by Mic jack mode ?

post output of

pactl list

when you change mic Jack mode control with alsamixer -c0

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths/analog-input-mic-line.conf

you have to ask pulseaudio Dev how to add the Mic Jack mode

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

alernative is to force the driver not creating the Mic Jack mode control which Mic Jack can be used as Mic only by hint

add_jack_modes=false

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt

- add_jack_modes (bool): add "xxx Jack Mode" enum controls to each
  I/O jack for allowing to change the headphone amp and mic bias VREF

The actual model name should be HP ENVY 4 Sleekbook, instead of Pavilion dm4
Not sure if this difference would cause this issue

Daniel, can you please hand this off?

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Hello Sam,

Hey, could you perhaps try a newer Ubuntu release on this system and see if this is still a problem?

Also, could you check if the system in question is an engineering sample? if so, perhaps it *is* inverted internally due to it being a preproduction system.

Thanks!

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Hi Daniel,
I've verified it with 12.04.3, 12.04.4, 14.04.1 and 14.10, this issue still exist.
This system was provided by OEM, I think it's an engineering sample.
