Lenovo 3000 N100 ALC861-VD quirk

Lenovo 3000 N100 ALC861-VD quirk

[Chris Pemberton]

Hello,

I'm revisiting an unresolved bug report I opened several months ago: bug 
# 0003468
The bug still exists as of ALSA v1.0.15 (Ubuntu 8.04).

A quick recap:

The following line in patch_realtek.c is my machine:

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x2066, "Lenovo", ALC861VD_LENOVO),

If I edit this line as follows, I get sound:

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x2066, "Lenovo" ALC861VD_3ST),

(or I can just pass model=3stack to get sound).

Inserting headphones doesn't mute the speakers or power the headphones.  
But I can manually unmute the headphones via alsamixer (but speakers are 
still not muted).

I do see that the special keyboard keys for speaker mute, volume up and 
volume down are working correctly; but I don't know if this is something 
ALSA is responsible for, or X, or Ubuntu.  So if this is ALSA, thanks!

Anything more I can do to help resolve this?

Thanks,

Chris

Oh, 1.0.15?  Whan an old version.  Could you check whether the
latest HG version (or at least 1.0.16) works?
Or, 2.6.25 kernel, which includes most of 1.0.16 stuff.

Depends.  Somethings it's controlled via hd-audio but sometimes over
ACPI.  Anyway, you have to try the latest version (HG version) so that
you can test any patches over it.


thanks,

Just downloaded the lastest HG tarball from:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver
and patch_realtek.c, line #12684 still looks wrong, at least for me.

I'll get the latest ALSA from HG installed on this machine (Ubuntu 8.04) 
and get back to you soon.

Thanks

It is correct.  The model lenovo is exactly for Lenovo devices.
So, the right thing is to fix model lenovo properly instead of
assigining a wrong model.

That'll be helpful.  Thanks.

Installed driver tarball hg20080425.
(did not update alsa-libs or alsa-oss)
Removed all module parameters and rebooted.
Module snd-hda-intel loaded fine; yet no sound.
Rebooted with model=3stack and sound works as described before

II can run more tests tomorrow.

Thanks again
