Re: No sound from Headphone Jack over Lenovo Docking Station with T440p Laptop

Hey Raymond!

Sorry for the late reply!
I had trouble following your input as I am not experienced with this. 
"HD-Audio.txt" helped a lot!

To make a 5 hour story short, this is my result:
Using early patching, everything works to my linking:
0x16 0x2121101f # dock headphones
0x19 0x21a11030 # dock mic

Thank you very much for your help!

I guess that building a patch á la ALC269_FIXUP_LENOVO_DOCK is not a big 
deal, but not my business.
If wanted, I can do testing, as soon as I learn how to properly compile 
and install a custom kernel.

I'll post something on 
https://github.com/leoluk/thinkpad-stuff/wiki/Haswell-ThinkPad-problems 
to tell other people how to fix this right away.

More to my story:
I found /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0, which is a Realtek ALC292 device.
The NID (what does it stand for?) of interest for the jack's output is 
indeed 0x16.

When headphones plugged into docking station jack:
$ sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 0x16 GET_PIN_SENSE 0
nid = 0x16, verb = 0xf09, param = 0x0
value = 0x80000000

When not plugged:
$ sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 0x16 GET_PIN_SENSE 0
nid = 0x16, verb = 0xf09, param = 0x0
value = 0x0

GET_PIN_SENSE for 0x19 is 0x80000000 when headset with mic is plugged 
into dock.
Pin sense of 0x19 does not change to 0x80000000 when only plugging 3pole 
speaker cable.
Therefore, I assumed that 0x19 is the dock mic input (turned out later 
to be true).

I installed alsa-tools-gui and used hdajackretast to override the pin 
config.
It took a while to find out that not all changes are immediate (early 
patching and restart required).

Using the early patching values from above, the sound is being 
redirected from the internal speakers to the dock jack, when headphones 
are connected.
[When connecting an additional speaker to the left jack on the notebook, 
the sound is output to both dock and notebook jack.]
When connecting a mic to dock, the dock mic shows up as input and is 
used as such.
When only connecting a headset without mic, the internal mic stays 
functional.

Best,
Bernhard
