2018-11-27 02:40:03 Hui Wang description These laptops all have the codec of alc285. reproduced by: 1. Hookup a set of headphones that you can separately place in/on your ears. (ie. ear buds) 2. Put only the right headphone in/on your ear. 3. Go to the Gnome sound settings and bring up the "Test Speakers" function 4. Play the left speaker test You would expect to hear nothing in the right ear, but instead you hear a "pop" at the start of each word spoken. ("pop" Front "pop" left). You can repeat with the left headphone and see similar results. I even tried shifting the balance all the way to the left/right and get the same results. So one problem appears to be when the headphone jack is initially sent audio, it causes a "pop" in the headphone jack. [Impact] Lenovo told us that some linux uers reported headphone noise on Lenovo's website. After investigating, we found those Lenovo laptop mdoels all have the codec of alc285, and we can reproduce the noise problem too. [Fix] Don't use the DAC of headphone, let headphone share the DAC with speaker, the noise disappears. [Test Case] After applying this patch, we tested on Lenovo P52, P72, X1 carbon and X1 Yoda2, no noise anymore [Regression Potential] Low. This patch only apply to several lenovo machines, and after applying this patch, both speaker and headphone still work very well.
