There is no known hardware that has an speaker with no connection to it = (and it would be a BIOS error if there was one), so it is not a priority = (perhaps not even of interest) of the driver to support it. Especially not as the option of using e g hdajackretask [1] to disable = the speaker permanently is an easier and better way than starting to = mess around with the connections and paths manually. I understand that your intentions are good and that you want to help = other users as well, and I don't want to scare you off, but in this case = it seems to me like you have some private patches that makes the driver = half broken, and then you want the official Linux kernel to fix up your = private half broken scenario. Which doesn't really make sense. -- = David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic [1] or the kernel interfaces that hdajackretask is a front-end for
