[RFC PATCH] ALSA: hda - Ignore default pin config on Haswell HDMI codecs

[RFC PATCH] ALSA: hda - Ignore default pin config on Haswell HDMI codecs

[David Henningsson]

According to Daniel Vetter, these pin configs should be ignored,
because the graphics driver/userspace could route audio to these
pins even if they are disabled by BIOS.

It would be good to have this acked by someone at Intel before committing.

Hi David,

Do you mean that a pin's default configuration may tell "No physical connection" by mistake?

Thanks
Mengdong

A pin's default configuration can be set to "No physical connection". 
I've seen this on one machine that we're trying to enable.

Whether that is a mistake or not, that's the million dollar question here:

If it is not a mistake, then the graphics driver/stack should pay 
attention to this value, and not route audio to that pin.

If it is a mistake, then the bspec [1] should mention that programming 
of this value should not be allowed (so we can tell the OEM to correct 
their BIOS).

I'm still trying to get a clear answer from someone at Intel, and it's 
becoming a bit frustrating not to get that.

check this for myself.

Re: [RFC PATCH] ALSA: hda - Ignore default pin config on Haswell HDMI codecs

[Wang, Xingchao]

Hi David,

Did you test the patch and what exactly the issue it could fix?
We do have issue when play audio on the pin without physical device connected.i.e. you can hear sound on that pin.
I'm working on some patches to fix similar issues, also trying to fix issue like dual monitor audio routing.
So please let me know what's the scenario of this patch trying to fix.

thanks

Well by default, all the pins choose converter 0 as data source. So when playing audio
on the pin without external physical device connected, it would throw data to converter 0.
Meanwhile converter 0 maybe data source for other pin in use with physical device connected, that's why you hear sound.

I'm working on the patch to fix this issue. in my test, you cannot hear sound on an pin with nothing connected.
