HP ENVY Serie 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx BASS / SPEAKERS / surround volume not working (ALSA + Kernel 13.xx up are worst)

[F_R_I_T_Z]

HP ENVY Serie 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx BASS / SPEAKERS / surround volume not working (ALSA + Kernel 13.xx up are worst)

This is a problem affects almost all dv6/dv7 and almost all HP envy 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx series using the 92HD80B1X5 codec that run the 92HD81B1X5/92HD71xxx by generic since ubuntu is ubuntu.

Using the pre ubuntu 11 when the generic alsa codec was the 92HD71xxx setting manually to hp-dv5 orhp- dv4 was possible to get the bass like speakers running like surround sound ( the 2 surround channels mapped to bass speakers), Later version 11.xx this changed with the 92HD80B1X5 being used by generic and setting manually to hp-dv7-4000 we have the same results.

Now with ubuntu 13.xx and after the kernel + alsa last upgrades ( hda rewrite in kernel) when we set-up to load hp-dv7-4000 we still have the same surround mapped to surround but the volume mixed didn't work any more.

It's terrible that an entire line of notebook from a brand that sell a lot like HP still lack of proper support, under HP windows drivers we have at last the basic codec parameters to copy instead use the generic ones.

Under the manufacturer driver package ( in case HP) SPxxxx.exe unpack and under SPxxx/WDM/vista/stwrt64.ini you can discover your sound driver and version used and then look the .INI's files for [HKM] basic parameters.

This didn't solve mine problems but at last give me the correct output to bass ( not the surround) besides no volume control yet.

Any help is wellcome.

In mine specific case... An envy 17 3d 2100 CTO;

Before the regression the mono "mono mux NID=19h"was pined to "DAC=0 NID=13h or DAC=1 NID=14h" and not to "mixer out vol NID=1ch or mixer NID=1BH".
then when using pulseaudio we have the surround sound and in alsamixer nothing of volume control. Mayve its the case in alsa of a special case like some dv4/dv5 brands with specific gpio.

I already do a post in end 2011 and middle 2012 in alsa user list and email the author, but seems mine voice is not enough.

Its sad I do not have the ability to submit a patch by myself ( low skill). but this affect a wide range of hardware's from hp. HP ACPI IS A SHXXXX....

snd_hda_multi_out_analog_prepare() in hda_codec.c

if the speaker pins were placed in mout->extra_out , both speaker and subwoofer had the front channel signal
there was a changs in auto parser and the speaker pins are placed in line out and this require 4 channels instead of stereo

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(mout->extra_out_nid); i++)
  if (!mout->no_share_stream && mout->extra_out_nid[i])
   snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec,
         mout->extra_out_nid[i],
         stream_tag, 0, format);

/* surrounds */
 for (i = 1; i < mout->num_dacs; i++) {
  if (chs >= (i + 1) * 2) /* independent out */
   snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec, nids[i], stream_tag,

[F_R_I_T_Z (wega-forum)]

Raymond yes. The subwoofer is in 0x10 node. Yes your pinout work (the actual hp-dv7-4000 already in kernel do it to, similar).
About the volume control seems your patch is OK, but I didn't test yet.

I already write a patch for mine mode specific case ( almost copy paste and changed the zephyr one ), I'm to be out for one week (family problems) and I'm glad to test it and post mine solution when back.
Thank you for yr attention.
This single thing can solve a lot of readache.
:-)

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

copy front can also let the subwoofer get the stereo signal only when mout->num_dacs is set to 2

the point is whether channel map can represent the speakers or not when you have 2.1 speakers
