ALC889A 0x1458a102 probably requires model=6stack-dell quirk

[Moshpet]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Having crawled through the past LTR's issues with sound & attempting those fixes,
(Ubuntu 7- 8+ onward) I managed to lose and positive progress & all but 1output source.

I finally gave up and set it to: options snd-hda-intel model=auto
in the alsa.base.conf which fortunately returned my audio to normal,
excepting the fact that it will not mute properly when the headphones are plugged in.
My microphones -do- work however.
Trying the factory drivers for the sound card did not seem to make a difference.

With luck it's just a problem with the Realtec drivers not being up to snuff with the kernal (or something.)

Please use the model=6stack-dig quirk instead of model=auto. A fresh reboot is necessary.

[Moshpet (moshpet01)]

Hello Mr. Chen,

Well I did as you suggested, but the problem of it not muting the other audio ports still remains. It works properly when using a Win-XP boot (dual boot system), so it's not a hardware issue (as far as I can tell.)

If you know what addtional information I can provide I'll try and wrest it from my system.

Thanks,
Darrel Miller

[Moshpet (moshpet01)]

I did as suggested and used the model=6stack-dig & rebooted.

I'm still experiencing the bug where it does not detect when the front headphone jack is plugged in.

Fee free to suggest diagnostic steps & what all :)

[Inkwina (phsi)]

I have the same problem. My Motherboard is a MSI H55M-E33.
The output of alsa-info.sh is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=63c740f53e7c7e48b2e6fd03d7b70fc98f6ad688

If I use gnome-alsa-mixer I can set the volume of the front panel jack (headphones) and the rear jack (speakers) seperatly, using the "front" and "side" sliders, but the mute button of any of these mutes master too.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Inkwina, please use linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) from ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev.

[Yazen Ghannam (yghannam-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

I can confirm this as I have the same issue and identical hardware to Moshpet's.

[Yazen Ghannam (yghannam-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Hello Everyone,

I was able to find a fix for this issue with my hardware. I went through the list of all possible HDA-Intel models from the ALSA documentation and I found that using "model=6stack-dell" worked for my Gigabyte motherboard.

Moshpet please try this and see if it works for you; I believe it will because we have almost identical hardware. If it works for you, then I think we can mark this specific report as "Fixed".

Daniel, since this is an issue for many people with various hardware, we should develop a script that runs through all the models listed in the ALSA documentation with tests. If none of the documented models work, then the user should submit a bug report and we should forward it upstream.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Yazen, it isn't quite that straightforward unfortunately. For certain controller/codec, using the "wrong" model quirk combinations (due to hw bugs) will lock the machine, which essentially kills this sort of automation. (I tried such an approach in 2006.)

I'm a bit wary of the model quirk mentioned above because it depends on a working bios (which tends to be more rare than I care to admit for HDA) and also sets the wrong mic pin. If model=6stack-dell does indeed result in working playback *and* capture for your machine, we'll also need lspci -nv from Yazen.

[Moshpet (moshpet01)]

Hi all, (sorry about the slow getting back to you...)
Well changing to the "model=6stack-dell" didn't have any effect on the jack sense either after a reboot.
A check of the plugin & the various sliders still gave me the same issues.
So I swapped back to the "model=6stack-dig" and rebooted

I wish I could get the Realtek audio control center I have in XP, (or something similar lol.)

I can work around the problem by manually unplug the wires on my machine but it's a pita.

M.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Moshpet, can you try enable_msi=1 instead of model quirk?

[Moshpet (moshpet01)]

Hello Mr. Chen,
Well I swapped out the model quirk for the enable_msi=1, and I still have the same issue.

Though I also seem to have a problem of when I move all most any of the sliders on gamix it mutes everything, kind of annoying when I trying to sort out which is doing what.

Next step?

M.
