Request for Realtek patch - Nvidia MCP51 HDA / ALC883 (10de:026c) Notebook component

Request for Realtek patch - Nvidia MCP51 HDA / ALC883 (10de:026c) Notebook component

[Björn van der Meer]

Hello Everyone,

I have above component in my laptop and lack the expertise to add it to to 
patch_realtek.c myself. 

I think I have collected all the relevant information if one of the developers 
wants to give it a try.

My Notebook: Medion 98300 (a.k.a. WAM2030)
(Please note: Medion is not an OEM. The board is nVidia based, OEM thought to 
be Wistron. Apparently rarely used sound component?)

Internal speakers
Internal mic - unknown
three jacks: headphone, mic, SPDIF(dual use jack).
Jack Sensing under Windows.
5.1 surround (sounds like the setup should be supported by 3stack-6ch-dig)

lspci:
00:10.1 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio

    Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe snd_hda_intel"

alsa-info.sh output is at http://pastebin.com/f49962c92.

 

Currently the only thing working is output via the internal speakers. 


Thank you very much, B.

And doesn't this still work with the latest ALSA HG driver?

Thanks for your answer. Latest HG does not compile on my system, throws
memalloc.c errors. (Could be me doing something wrong though - out on a limp)

 CC [M]  /home/bvdm/alsa-driver/acore/memalloc.o
/home/bvdm/alsa-driver/acore/memalloc.c: In function ‘snd_mem_init’:
/home/bvdm/alsa-driver/acore/memalloc.c:729: error: implicit declaration of
function ‘proc_create’
/home/bvdm/alsa-driver/acore/memalloc.c:730: warning: assignment makes pointer
from integer without a cast
make[3]: *** [/home/bvdm/alsa-driver/acore/memalloc.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/home/bvdm/alsa-driver/acore] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/bvdm/alsa-driver] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'



I see references to similar errors on the list, had to do with processor
identification?


Configure detects this:
checking for processor type... i586
checking for i386 machine type... default

/proc/cpuinfo starts with:
[...]
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 15
model           : 72
model name      : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50
[...]



I have also just lifted patch_realtek.c from the current hg and compiled it in
a working tarball (actually labelled alsa-driver-hg20080502.tar  from the
realtek site), which compiles, looks a bit better. 
Gives me: 
 - Different set of mixer controls (not 5.1 though)
 - headphone output in the strange dual-use SPDIF jack only (headphone jack 
only goes 2/3 of the way in)
 - but with jack-sensing working in that jack, with the boxes turning off when 
I insert the headphone into the SPDIF.

Cheers, B.

It's a problem in alsa-driver build stub.  I fixed it right now on HG
tree.

OK, I'll need a newer alsa-info.sh with the latest driver.

Please elaborate?  I don't understand your description.

This sounds good -- do you mean that you have another headphone jacks?

New alsa-info.sh is at http://pastebin.ca/1012744

hehe, yes. I didn't believe it either. This laptop has three jacks. 
 - light blue, symbol "headphone", normal 3.5mm jack
 - pink, symbol "microphone", normal 3.5mm jack
 - black, symbol line out, normal 3.5mm (that only goes in 2/3 of the way) 
jack AND SPDIF (yes, now glowing red)

Actually. Seeing is believing.

Thank you very much

Just hg'ed again compile runs fine.

This is without any "options snd-hda-intel model=XXXX" line 
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

 - I now put my headphone into the black jack and get sound, boxes turn off.
 - light blue jack is without function now. 
 - mixer option "headphone" is without function.
 - mixer now has master, 
headphone,pcm,front,frontmic,line,mic,micboost,digital
 - only master,pcm and front work, all regulate master volume on 
SPDIF-used-as-headphone-jack and the internal boxes
- dont have a mic right here to try out

Should I try options there now? Is /etc/init.d/alsasound stop / start a good 
way to cycle through options?

Re: Request for Realtek patch - Nvidia MCP51 HDA / ALC883 (10de:026c) Notebook component

[Tobin Davis]

Actually, this dual usage headphone jack is quite common among laptops
that have digital out.  By default, though, Alsa should probably turn
off spdif for power savings.  I'm (slowly) working on a mechanism that
can trigger a popup application when a device is inserted to a jack with
sense enabled.  The idea is to be able to popup an app so users can
toggle between analog headphones or spdif on systems like yours, or
between 2nd headphone/microphone on other systems that support HP Amp on
multiple ports.
