Intel HD Audio

Intel HD Audio

[Chris Pemberton]

I've been trying to fix audio on my Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop for quite 
some time; on this list and via bug #0003468.  I finally got tired of 
the xorg graphics woes and hacking for sound, so I am now "temporarily" 
running Vista. 
I'd like to get this audio fixed permanently, so if you need any details 
from the working Vista drivers, let me know before I get sick of Windows 
and switch back to Linux.

Well, an over-all experience, what is missing, would be a good input
(preferablly with a patch ;)


thanks,

The machine is a Lenovo 3000 N100.

There are two methods I can choose to get sound working partially:

1.  Edit patch_realtek.c (near line 10971):
     from     SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x2066, "Lenovo", ALC861VD_LENOVO)
     to         SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x2066, "Lenovo", ALC861VD_3ST)


2.  Use modprobe snd-hda-intel model=3stack

I guess both methods accomplish the same thing.  I'm not saying I know 
the reason why this works, but I'd like to help find out why the 
ALC861VD_LENOVO quirk is not working on my machine.

Using this hack, I can hear sound from the speakers and headphones, yet 
headphones do not mute the speakers when pluged in.  I can record from 
either the built-in or external mic.  Is pluging in an external mic 
supposed to mute the internal mic?  (It doesn't).

Here is a pastbin using Kubuntu 7.10 with model=3stack:

Is there any information I could get from Vista to help?  I can dual boot.

Thanks,

Chris

Hm, is it still so in the latest HG version?
1.0.14 is fairly old...

You have likely an INF file for this specific model.  This includes
many information for the run-time configuration, which is currently
built-in in the case of linux driver.
