Headphone jack sense missing on Lenovo Thinkpad SL410 and SL510

[jk]

It seems as though the channel for enabling/disabling headphone jack sense is missing for this card (looked for it in alsamixer and kmix, found nothing). There are separate channels "Headphone" and "Speaker". Both work as intended, I can change the volume and mute both channels independently and get the expected results. I'm just missing the functionality that the internal speaker is automatically disabled when a headphone is plugged in (and re-enabled when it's NOT plugged in).

There's a mute button on the chassis (produces no key events with xev) which mutes the internal speakers, but not the headphone channel. When using this button to mute, the mixer doesn't show that the speaker is muted, though.

The machine is a Lenovo ThinkPad SL510 (with the latest BIOS installed, 1.35-1.19). alsamixer reports the card as "HDA Intel", chip "Intel G45 DEVCTG". /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 says "Codec: Realtek ALC269".

lspci says:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

I compared the contents of /proc/asound/card*/codec#* with and without a headphone plugged in:

jensi@tp:~$ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec#* > no-headphone
jensi@tp:~$ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec#* > headphone

Probably not relevant for the jack sense I guess, but concerning the mute button I mentioned, there's a difference in /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 when the button is pressed:

Hi jk,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue on a ThinkPad SL410 running Ubuntu 10.04. The codec#0 is also Realtek ALC269. I installed the latest kernel from today, May 18th, which was linux-image-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201005172238_amd64.deb, and as far as I can tell nothing has changed. What more can I do to help or test this issue? (Apologies-- this is my first time posting on launchpad)

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi Jennifer,
    Would you mind opening a new bug for me on your issue?

Thanks!

[jk (mail-j-k)]

Tested with linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_i386.deb, behavior is exactly the same.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi jk,
    Would you mind running 'apport-collect -p linux 580006' so that we can gather some logging and debug information to this bug?

Thanks!

Hi,
There is a workaround for this issue, though it differs a bit depending on the model of the computer.
I too have a Lenovo SL510, and just managed to solve it. Just open the Alsa config file with "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf", and add the line "options snd_hda_intel model=quanta", to the end of the file. In both cases the commands should be without the quotation marks. Now just restart the computer and the speakers mute when headphones are plugged in.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Could you please try the following terminal commands:

echo 0x1d 0x411111f0 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/user_pin_configs
echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig

Then log out and in again and see if auto-mute is then enabled? Thanks!

[Fan Yang (snisiarc)]

The workaround in #27 sort of worked for me. But I had to change "options snd_hda_intel model=quanta" to "options snd_hda_intel model=-2". I have a Lenovo ideapad v460, which uses the same type of sound card as thinkpad described above.

[jk (mail-j-k)]

David: Had to kill gdm and pulseaudio first to be able to issue "echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig", but after doing that and logging in, auto-muting works.

[Alexander Shutyaev (shutyaev)]

I have the same problem with ALC269 on my Acer Aspire 3810T laptop. model=quanta helped me.

I'm affected by this bug on my Lenovo SL410 and would be happy to test anything that would help get this working for people right out-of-the-box.

This means that in a day or two, you can use the procedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules to fix/workaround it.

The abovementioned fix is included upstream in kernel 2.6.37-rc8. From the changelog:

The work around in comment #27 fixed my speaker auto-mute problem. (Speakers would play music while headphones were plugged in.) My mute button does not mute the speakers after this work around.

After, installing the LinuxAlsaDriverModule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules

...my mute button works. (However, mute button will not mute headphones.)
