When watching the following video (but also audio from other programs) with the volume at 100%, the audio loudness is lower in comparison to the same audio being played at 100% in Windows 10:

What i am saying that when the volume is pushed to 100%, the audio output is low, when compared to the same audio being played in Windows10.
All audio is played using youtube videos.

Mohd Imran Jamadar, regarding just the audio loudness (not the mic issue) could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

I would assume you are taking about this tree and kernel? @Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch)

[Mohd Imran Jamadar (imranmohd72)]

I tried using the following kernel as suggested from this link;
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/linux-headers-4.3.0-040300-generic_4.3.0-040300.201511020949_amd64.deb

This resulted in a unbootable system, so used a previous kernel from Ubuntu menu and then removed the offending kernel image.

Also i am using propriety Nvidia drivers, so that could be a cause as the kernel failed to install properly .
Preparing to install an upstream kernel

First, if one is using select proprietary or out-of-tree modules (ex. vitualbox, nvidia, fglrx, bcmwl, etc.) unless there is an extra package available for the version you are testing, you will need to uninstall the module first, in order to test the mainline kernel. If you do not uninstall these modules first, then the upstream kernel more than likely will not boot.

you don't need those part which implement ext subwoofer jack detection using another node pin sense

only need the part which implement headset mic jack using hp pin sense for the headset which must be the first hp pins when your alienware have headset and headphone

the easyway is to assign preferred dac for the output pins to force which output pin can get a volume control and which pins need to share volume control

spec->gen.preferred_dacs = preferred_pair;

only patch_realtek.c for missing headset mic and subwoofer

the alienware model is just a variant of dell-headset-multi which don't implement headphone mic since you already have a mic jack and another headphone

you have to maunally select the capture source to select headset mic , mic and internal mic

[superquad.vortex2 (superquad.vortex2-linux-kernel-bugs)]

you just replaced the headphone mic by subwoofer pin in the fixup

and add the preferred dac for your alienware

[superquad.vortex2 (superquad.vortex2-linux-kernel-bugs)]

the easy way is to give up the headphone jack and you don't need to share volume control

[superquad.vortex2 (superquad.vortex2-linux-kernel-bugs)]

once you have confirmed the headset mic is node 0x1b using the minimal change and the subwoofer is node 0x1a ,
determine the channel map of subwoofer

you can renable the headphone jack to use preferred dac to let subwoofer get volume control

change the name of the playback switch to distinguish the headset and headphone

The patch depend on function __snd_hda_jack_add_kctl which was removed by this patch

You need to create headset jack and skip headset mic phantom jack instead of headphone jack and headset mic jack

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/include/sound/jack.h

enum snd_jack_types {

Can you get into the mainline kernel which can then be picked up by other distro's :)

[superquad.vortex2 (superquad.vortex2-linux-kernel-bugs)]

For alienware which also use alc668 but with headset, headphone and mic jacks

there will be no auto mic selection since you have headset mic and mic jacks

what you need is

fix the headset mic pin and disable the headophone mic of model dell-headset-multi

decide which output pins share volume control since you have headset, headphone, speaker and subwoofer but only three audio output/volume controls

Raymond i have attached three screenshots, ok let me know what i need to set here.

Neither hdajackretssk nor early patching can fix the bug after the above patch which add the subwoofer pin

You have to ask the author to add support of heasdset

[imranmohd72 (imranmohd72-linux-kernel-bugs)]

Thanks for your patience and understanding. But where will i find the author, the last one who had written the patch, for his laptop asked me to not to email him anymore.

? Can you write the code? and then submit the patch? if i knew i would have done something about it long time ago.

[Mohd Imran Jamadar (imranmohd72)]

Audio is still not what i would expect, audio sucks.

[superquad.vortex2 (superquad.vortex2-linux-kernel-bugs)]

since there is not enough DAC or volume controls for the headset, headphone, speaker and subwoofer

when you cannot build kernel and modifiy driver code but just use early patching

you have tp give up the headset and change it to not connected by adding the subwoofer pin

to test the headset and subwoofer, you need to give up the headphone jack and set it as not connwxrrws qhwn using dell-headset-multi and remove headphone mic pin, add subwoofer pin fix and

the first thing you need to find out the subwoofer use left, right or both channels by add subwoofer pin and remove one of the headphone pin

do you hear sound from subwoofer when "Rear left" or "Rear Right" is playing

your alienware have three jacks and need to find out whether you can use headset mic without headphone mic fixup

you can specify model=dell-headset-multi and use early patching

by force the driver to keep node 0x19 as the mic jack instead of headphone mic jack

add the subwoofer node 0x1a

Ref to comments 62, i have done as you have said and now i believe the issue has being fixed. I now have richer audio output and i am using 2.1. I hope you can view the atachment's that i have done.

This might fix the issue for the short term, but what about a permanent solution? for this particular codec and system so that other's can also benefit or this solution is unique to me only.

I thank you for your patience, and in assisting me.

So now what next? do you need more data?

Please advise?

can you hear the low frequency sound from the speakers when using 2.1 profile since pulseaudio apply high pass filter to channels other than LFE

At best, give the background information why the current code doesn't
work for some cases and how your change will help.

the purpose of the patch is to make the combo jack of those laptops using alc668 to support headset only and drop support of headphone mic and headphone in order to enable auto mic selection by creating headset jack which report the state of both headphone and headset mic of the combo jack

flag to indicate the headset mic pin does not support jack sense and rely on the headphone pin jack sense

. No, this won't work for all cases. The code in hda_jack.c can't
assume that codec->spec points to a hda_gen_spec object. This can be
other codec drivers like ca0132 or hdmi.

Early Patching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set, you can pass a "patch" as a
firmware file for modifying the HD-audio setup before initializing the
codec. This can work basically like the reconfiguration via sysfs in
the above, but it does it before the first codec configuration.

A patch file is a plain text file which looks like below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [codec]
  0x12345678 0xabcd1234 2

  [model]
  auto

  [pincfg]
  0x12 0x411111f0

did you set the correct codec id and subsystem id and model

since you need model dell-headset-multi to call the function alc_fixup_headset_mode_alc668 to init the headset

and those pin fix to remove headphone mic by the original mic jack and subwoofer
remove the headphone jack so that line out type =speaker for the 2.1 channel map

This look like you are using dell-headset-multi plus subwoofer fix up

If Headphone Mic cannot be fixed up to Mic jack by early patching , you need to modify patch_realtek.c to create dell-alienware model

do the headset mic work as expected or not ?

the early patching fix the pin before driver apply dell-headset-multi model pin fixup

so the mic jack cannot be fix up

you can use hint to disable loopback mixing if this is any noise simolar to xps 13 using ALC668_FIXUP_DELL_DISABLE_AAMIX

Umm, how to do this patching stuff and where to paste this code? Was your a suggestion or a test for me to perform?

just append at the end of alc662_fixup[] after [ALC668_FIXUP_ASUS_Nx51]

to enable both headphone and headset, you need to test whether headset and headphone can share volume control by prefered_dacs, this force driver assigned DACs to speaker and bass speaker first

 static hda_nid_t preferred_pair[] = {
+ 0x14, 0x02,
+ 0x1a, 0x03,
+ 0x15, 0x04,
+ 0x16, 0x04,
+ 0
+ };

+ spec->gen.preferred_dacs = preferred_pair;

So you want me to copy the code above, and edit the patch_realtek.c with the changes above and then recompile a new kernel? right

Hi,

Sorry was away on vacation.

Any update on the issue?

[imranmohd72 (imranmohd72-linux-kernel-bugs)]

So you fix the sound:

1. Open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T).

2. Write 'sudo su' to login as root.

3. Install via apt 'alsa-tools-gui'.

4. Logout via exit.

5. Write 'hdajackretask' and press enter.

6. Click on 'Intel Haswell HDMI' and select 'Realtek ALC3661'.

7. A lot of new entrys are visible. Select 'Show unconnected pins'.

8. Click on 'Overwrite' on Pin ID '0x1a'.

9. Click on the Context Menu and select 'Line out (Center/LFE)'.

10. Click on 'Apply now' and enter your user password.

11. Click on 'Install boot overwrite' to save the settings permanently.

12. Click on your Volume Icon on the top (Ubuntu Unity) and remove the marker 'mute'.

13. Reboot and your sound work perfect.

After reboot

Followed the Above on my Alienware 18 running Linux Mint 18.1

I did everything in the list above

apart from "Click on your Volume Icon on the top (Ubuntu Unity) and remove the marker 'mute'."

as It didn't show anything different in my Sound properties

The attachment shown is after a reboot

So its back to the drawing board for me
Cheers

[imranmohd72 (imranmohd72-linux-kernel-bugs)]

Mine is Alienware 14, and sound is fine now, a major improvement, but as you see the developer of person assisting me,has now disappeared.
I am on Ubuntu 16.10.

mail me on <email address hidden> or come to ubuntu IRC channel and we shall take it from their. see what can be done.

regards.

[gaznims (gaznims-linux-kernel-bugs)]

Ok I did a full reinstall this arvo
First thing I did was the Fix above

But sadly it has had no effect

Ref to comment no #7 and upon testing upstream kernel, i confirm the bug to exist.

Kernel tested was, linux-image-4.10.0-041000-generic_4.10.0-041000.201702191831_amd64.deb &
4.8.0-45-generic

Please advise, still see analog 4.o surround sound option, with no option for sub-woofer option to toggle.
But if i plug in my headphone jack w/o mic, and if i select 4.0 output i can hear in my headphones sound Rear Left and Rear Right, soundoutput.
