[LIFEBOOK E8020, Realtek ALC260, Black SPDIF Out, Front] No sound at all

[Peter Golden]

Hi guys, I haven't had audio working from the built in speakers since installing 12.10 (it is ok on headphones). I just got this bug report come up. Regards Peter

the previous Fujitsu model create speaker playback volume and switch at node 0x09

- HDA_CODEC_VOLUME("Speaker Playback Volume", 0x09, 0x0, HDA_OUTPUT),
- HDA_BIND_MUTE("Speaker Playback Switch", 0x09, 2, HDA_INPUT),

do pulseaudio mute pcm playback switch ?

the problem is BIOS of your computer did not set the pin default of any node to [Fixed] Speaker

Node 0x0f [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear
Node 0x10 [Both] Line Out at Sep Right
Node 0x11 [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear

Node 0x17 [Fixed] Aux at Oth Mobile-In

Hi Raymond,

Thank you for your continued support with this.

I have amended /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf so that the last line now reads

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

and this seems to have got the laptop speakers working but I have lost the headphones. If I change the model type to something else, I can get headphones back but then lose speakers.

Regards

Peter

if model=generic this may mean that node 0x10 is the internal speaker

use model=auto and early patching to fix the pin default of node 0x10 to 0x901701f0 [Fixed] Speaker at Int

and reboot

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

you can also use hda-jack-retask to fix speaker and make those pins (e.g. CD, AUX) as [N/A]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

i tried the following with the information provided above, but couldn't get the speakers working:

you need to follow up this thread if it is a regression

the original code enable all gpio

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

Last night I tried booting from a fresh 12.04 CD - audio all works fine. Tried booting from the latest 12.10 CD and no sound from front speakers. Not sure if this helps at all? Peter

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

> Last night I tried booting from a fresh 12.04 CD - audio all works fine.

did the speaker playback switch has any effect since node 0x09 don't support mute?

did auto mute work when you plug the headphone ?

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

On 12.04 the speakers and headphones appear in the audio control and both work at the same time unless I manually mute one or the other.

On 12.10 only the speakers appear as Digital Output (S/PDIF) built-in audio until I plug in the headphones then they are both there until I unplug the headphones again. Test Sound (Front Left/Right) only works with the headphones.

On 12.10 the headphone socket on the front of the laptop has a red light lit up which I have never seen before (have been running Ubuntu for 5 years on this machine).

Thanks

Peter

can you post the output of alsa-info.sh after reboot ?

does it create the speaker playback volume and speaker phantom port at node 0x09 ?

amixer -c 0 contents

did the headphone Jack kcontrol change to on when headphone is plugged ?

post of the output of hda-jack-sense-test when headphone is plugged and unplugged

or

use hda-verb to test the Jack sense or impedance with SET_PIN_SENSE and GET_PIN_SENSE

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

> On 12.10 the headphone socket on the front of the laptop has a red light lit up which I have never seen before (have been running Ubuntu for 5 years on this machine).'

the red light is the optical output shared with headphone Jack since the previous Fujitsu model only set up the analog playback did not set up the digital playback

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

you can turn off the red light by mute iec958 switch

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

I am attaching a copy of the alsa-info.sh output

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

and also amixer output but I do not know how to run the hda-jack-sense-test as I don't seem to have those commands

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive/hda

you can use hda-jack-retask to retask the node 0x10 to internal speaker

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

OK installed the additional tools but retasking 0x10 to internal speaker didn't fix it, hda-jacksense-test output below

can you post the output of alsa-info.sh when using model=generic ?

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

Hi Raymond, here is the output with model=generic Peter

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

can you use hda-analyser to change the volume slider of node 0x08 for headphone when using generic model ?

amp out vale from 0x00 to 0x40

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

When I use the generic model the Headphone is not detected when I plug it in - I only see analogue speakers which work OK. I did try adjusting the amp out value to 0x40 but it did not make any difference (I assume because the headphones weren't seen).

The microphone was detected by the way (I have headphones with a mike as well).

[Peter Golden (peter-golden)]

If I set the model back to auto, the headphones work again but the speakers don't (this time they show up as Digital Output (S/PDIF).

I also noticed that the microphone does not work with model type auto

you can compare the headphone with jonathan 's codec info of Kernel release: 3.3.5

[Florian Reinhard (freinhard)]

with the current drivers shipped with 12.10, is there a configuration possible that headphone and speakers work? I couldn't manage to get this working after reading through the information linked here and a lot of fiddling with hda-jack-retask.

did the gen parser in sound-unstable fix the problem ?
