Clevo P170HM / Sager NP8170 audio

Clevo P170HM / Sager NP8170 audio

[Andrew Mahone]

This laptop is detected as ALC892 audio (and by the codec ID this
seems to be valid), but none of the configurations for it quite match
this device. I've been working on documenting the connections with HDA
Analyzer.

alsa-info output:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b86e4c6447867fbd129a36d8a63e2f5caa836c52

The laptop has built-in 5.1, and 5.1 or 7.1 output via jacks.

DAC NIDs:
0x02 front
0x03 rear
0x04 clfe
0x05 side

internal mixers:
0x0c front
0x0d rear
0x0e clfe
0x0f side

internal speaker pins:
0x14 front
0x15 "rear" (front of laptop)
0x16 clfe

external ports:
fixed route:
0x17 side

can select any output:
0x18 mic / output
0x1a line-in / output
0x1b headphone

I've been experimenting with patch_realtek.c to add the extra DAC NID,
and have had some success with a 6-channel mode for the built-in
speakers and an 8-channel mode that mutes all internal speakers and
sets the jacks up for output. I still need to manually connect pins
0x18, 0x1a, 0x1b to the correct internal mixers for 7.1 to work, and
headphone plugin does not mute internal speakers in 5.1 mode. I have
not added a plain stereo mode for internal speakers, although it
appears that i can probably configure the codec to mix the front
channels to center and LFE.

Are there any suggestions for what to do next? My current state as a
patch against the linux-3.0.y repository is at
http://pastie.org/2400649

Please check out this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/86475
With linux-3.1, everything apart from 8-channel sound seems to work with
autoparser, and I was able to get the sound going out from the analog
part of the spdif jack by fiddling with hda-analyzer:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/87235
To get this to work automatically, code needs to be written but this is
beyond my skillset.

your patch only support 6ch and 8ch , you have to add
alc892_clevo_p170hm_ch2_init() ch for stereo playback and ext mic and

seem the bios did not setup "side" jack 0x17 ?

   dig-out=0x1e/0x0
   inputs: Mic=0x18 Internal Mic=0x19 Line=0x1a

seem need to add  pin default of side jack 0x17 to force the auto

and sort the speaker pin by default association 02, 03, 04 (0x14, 0x15

Keep in mind that IIRC P170HM has 4.1 speakers while P150HM has 2.1. I
think the other audio outputs are the same.

Do you mean the speaker info is incorrect as there is no center ?

0x16 is a stereo pin, and you have to check whether the subwoofer is
connected to left, right or both

Let the auto parser to put the speakers pin in autocfg 's line out won't help

the four jacks need alc883_4st_8ch mixer of "targa-8ch-dig" which has
been removed

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=7a689ebcefe5feba626816929fd75046e455a96f;hp=34913cda7af335d748a424d91984576b8c9d9cae

The main problem is the signal of "rear" speaker of the notebook is
not really at the rear of the user.

I cannot speak for P170HM as I do not have one, but on P150HM there are
two speakers between the screen and the keyboard and something supposed
to act as a subwoofer on the bottom side of the laptop. On Windows 7 you
need THX TruStudio PRO to make it work. No center speaker that I know of.
There are service manuals with schematics for these laptops floating
around the internet. ALC892 connections are described on page 86 for
P150HM and page 91 for P170HM. You should be able to understand far more
than I.

Refer to P170HM 's photo in user manual

There are 3 speakers and a subwoofer at the bottom of the laptop and
two speakers at the top

Refer to user manual of P150HM,

Plug the front speaker cables into the Headphone-Out Jack.

• Line-In Jack = Rear Speaker Out
• Microphone-In Jack = Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out
• S/PDIF-Out Jack = Side Speaker Out (for 7.1 Surround Sound Only)

7. As you plug in each cable a dialog box will pop up (see “Auto Popup
Dialog” on
page 2 - 9).

Auto Popup Dialog mean support jack detect

you can try David's hda-jack-sense-test.py

Yes, it is between mic and line in jacks, third one from the front. The
only difference is that there is red light coming out of it.

This I have not figured out yet unfortunately. Keep in mind that in
windows you need THX TruStudio PRO to get it working, and the config is
advertised as stereo. There was a discussion about this on
notebookreview forums [1], so maybe it configured in some weird way?

You may need to ask Takashi , David, PA developers and Media
controller developers how to handle this case

since it may need to set_pin_ctl to PIN_HP and PIN_OUT of 0x1b and
retasking of input jacks as output  whether PA or Media controller API
expect to change the name of the volume control and switch from
"Headphone" to "Front" by hda-reconfig

you can use hda-verb to set the pin default of 0x17 and use
hda-jack-sense-test retest the side jack

The red light is due to you turn "IEC958 Default PCM" on since this
switch copy the signal to digital out

If you don't use SPDIF, may need to turn off this switch to turn off
red light and save power for your notebook

what is missing are
1) 8ch in "Channel Mode" ,
2) Side Playback Volume
3)Side Playback Switch

Study the logic to add 8ch and "side" in

1) alc_auto_fill_dac_nids()
2) alc_auto_fill_multi_ios() which add line-in and mic jack to multi_ios,


This mean that when switch to 6/8 channel mode, it will conflict with
automic detection since the pin cap alc892 's mic jack does not
support impedance sense and the driver does not know the plug is mic
or speaker by measuring the impedance

The driver have to disable automic detection when user switch "channel
mode" to 6ch/8ch as the user should still able to use the internal mic
when the external mic jack is retasked as output

you have to find out whether subwoofer is connected to 0x16 of your
p150hm since your mic jack (retasked as clfe) is connected to dac 0x4.

Well, it kind of works:
* I was able to assign 0x01011013 to pin 0x17 using user_pin_configs
* it then shows up in hda-jack-sense-test.py, which detects if the jack
is connected
$ sudo python hda-jack-sense-test.py
[sudo] password for julas:
Pin 0x17 (Black Line Out): present = Yes
Pin 0x18 (Black Mic): present = No
Pin 0x1a (Black Line In): present = No
Pin 0x1b (Black HP Out): present = No
* for some reason this program started locking up after showing the
output, I am not sure if this is related.
I then applied your patch on top of Fedora 3.1.1 kernel (crude patch
attached). After reboot:
* hda-jack-sense-test.py was still working, without lockups this time
* alsamixer -c0 revealed a new "Front" slider, which was controlling the
volume on 0x17
* there was still no 8-channel mode (probably related to what you wrote
below)
* there were more options for auto mute (Disabled, Speaker Only, Line
Out+Speaker)
* here is the new alsa-info.sh:

I can indeed turn off the red light by muting the S/PDIF item in alsamixer.

I am sorry, I am afraid I lack the knowledge to do that. What I can do
is test patches and commands, but writing new code is beyond my skillset.

Simply changing this pin to out and unmuting it did not work (this is
the way I discovered 0x17.

I am also not sure what you mean by HP and Speaker Playback Volumes - it
is working now, even with unpatched Fedora kernels (3.1.1-2.fc16).
With this patch applied on top of sound/master tree it is much worse:
* Front and HP sliders are gone
* only 2-ch sound is working, changing to 4, 6, or 8 does not produce
output on any of the other jacks
* just to be sure, I checked sound/master tree without both of your
patches, and both Headphone/Speaker, as well as 4 and 6 channel sound
are working fine.

I tried this patch (attached a version ported to 3.1.x kernel) with
P150HM and I was still unable to get sound out of the subwoofer when on
6 channel mode, could nonexisting rear be interfering?
As Andrew said, 8 channel mode works once you manually unmute and
reattach mixers using hda-analyzer.

Julian

I tried a similar patch but also no luck there... Any ideas why the
subwoofer might not be working? Is there a way to somehow eavesdrop the
windows driver?

I am starting to be really convinced that THX TruStudio PRO is doing 
some shenanigans, since its "Speaker" function needs to be active for 
the subwoofer to work, even in realtek HD Audio Manager Speaker test. It 
will work if the function is dialled down all the way to 0 %, but as 
soon as you turn it off nothing can be heard.
Do you guys have any ideas what it might be doing. and is there a way to 
emulate this function under linux?

Don't have any realtek codec, not sure why hda-jack-sense-test.py
locked up when you use user_pin_configs

After the pin fixup, your notebook is almost like alc1200 msi gx460
except speaker and hp are swapped, this mean that those volume

The are some difference between p170hm and your p150hm if p170hm has
5.1 speakers which still can have auto mic detection enabled.

It is much better now. I applied the attached patch and 2, 4, 6 and 8
channel sound is working, enabling outputs incrementally as I change the
number of channels in alsamixer. Observations:
* there is no mute for side channel
* no matter if Auto-Mute is set to Speaker or Line Out+Speaker, speakers
will mute upon plugging a jack into either headphone or side/spdif socket
* there is a "front" slider which controls internal speakers and HP
jack, but the mute control under it does nothing. There are separate
mute controls for HP and Speakers, which work as advertised.
This is the alsa-info.sh output:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7df8ccac0a5ae751110f7b7e56f9e0ba5cc3b302
Looks like we are almost there, thanks for all the input so far!

Regards,
Julian

There is a bug in hda-emu which cannot detect two playback switches
"Front" and "Side" create at same switch pin

Try add the following to dump the value of switch pin

In function alc_auto_create_multi_out_ctls()

			err = alc_auto_add_stereo_sw(codec, name, index, sw);
			if (err < 0)
				return err;

b) use "Headphone" for "alt playback"

In function alc_auto_fill_dac_nids()

+      spec->alt_dac_nid = spec->multiout.hp_out_nid[0];
	return 0;

Sorry, it should be  idx instead of i

             if ( idx < 2)

it is a hack to set PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL of two input pins (idx=0 or
idx=1) to ctl.in (PIN_IN and PIN_MIC) and does not mute side jack when
idx = 2 for alt_playback when channel mode is not 8ch

Yeah, I have figured it out. I am testing the working patch and writing
a report.

What timezone are you in by the way? I am in CET.

With the above version and everything is almost perfect:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=35d300b2eaec79699ec37febc6321687a894be50

* mute for side channel is present and functions correctly
* auto-mute situation is unchanged, but I don't think it matters
* speaker/HP controls are much neater
  - front mute and slider control the internal speakers
  - headphone mute and slider control the headphone jack

The only nitpick would be that the alt device does not work:

$ aplay -l

And that the sound is coming out of the side jack no matter the number
of channels.

I also tried this version (attached with versionb suffix), it works even
better. As with version a), controls are working correctly. Auto-mute
still mutes upon plugging into either side or headphone jack no matter
the alsamixer setting. Alt device is still not there. The improvement is
that sound only comes out of the side jack when alsamixer is set to 8
channels.

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=31f808d43fc26c29718d239600741b5b069ce427

So it seems like the version b does everything it is supposed to, maybe
aside from the side jack muting behaviour.
Summing up, when it comes to P150HM, the only missing piece is the
internal subwoofer. I tried emailing Andrew, who started this thread,
but got no answer so far. The problem might be that we might need to
figure out what is that THX TruStudio PRO is doing under Windows that
makes the internal subwoofer work.
Once again, thank you for all the input so far.

Best regards,
Julian

Take a look at the removed model="targa_8ch_dig" which touch those gpio

Have you ask the notebook vendor clevo support/engineer the subwoofer
is connected to which pin of alc892 ?

I tried 0001-Add-Multistreaming-Playback-using-Front-Panel-Headph.patch,
but unfortunately it does not apply on top of current kernels anymore,
and it is not trivial enough for me to fix.
Anyway, in my opinion it does not make a lot of sense, as the jacks are
2 cm away from each other and I don't see a use case where someone would
want to play a different sound on each of them.

I have just sent an email to Clevo UK Support. Let's see what they answer.

  Pincap 0x00000036: IN OUT Detect Trigger
  Pin Default 0x01011013: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear

As the pincaps of "side" jack does not support HP,  so it cannot used
as dual headphone

it is strange that alt_device cannot be create if you have assign a
valid dac to spec->alt_dac_nid

if you compled alsa-driver in debug mode, you should see the following
message in system log.

realtek: Enable HP auto-muting on NID 0x1b
realtek: Enable Line-Out auto-muting on NID 0x17

The drawback is "Front Playback Volume" and "Front Playback Switch"
does not control the "Headphone Jack" which used as "Front" jack


Node 0x1b [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058f: Stereo Amp-In Amp-Out

The other method is using  "hp_pin" instead of "speaker_pin" to assign
"Front" dac 0x02

but this method won't create "headphone playback volume" and
"Headphone playback switch" since "hp_pin" is used to create "Front
Playback Volume" and "Front Playback Switch"

There is one hdmi and one dvi. I did not try sending sound via hdmi, though.

Not really a drawback, since in an unpatched 3.1.2 kernel there are
separate "Speaker" and "Headphone" controls which are independent of
each other:

Yes, this is what we figured earlier already. If P170hm is any similar,
0x16 is the sub:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2011-August/042981.html
The problem is that, as opposed to 0x17, simply switching the pin from
in to out and unmuting it does not make sound come out of the subwoofer.
Can it be because the center/lfe channel is already assigned to the mic
pin? Or do you think that THX is doing some sort of pre-amplification
which we need to emulate?

In theory, , the driver can automatically mute IEC958 Playback Switch
(turn off the red light for power saving) when you plug/unplug the
side jack which share with spdif

change one of the unused pin to  speaker pin by hda-jack-retask

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/92229

assign hp to get dac 0x02 instead of speaker_pins[0]

you have to assign your 0x14 speaker and one of the unused pin of  to
spec->extra_out
and increase spec->speaker_outs from 1 to 2

It seems like this patch requires hda-jack branch. Is there anything
particular I should keep in mind?

There is no alsa-driver package in Fedora. As such, I have checked
configure.ac to see what config options are getting changed. It turns
out that CONFIG_SND_DEBUG, CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE and
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_MEM are changed to y. Since I could not find
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_MEM anywhere in 3.2 kernel, I only changed the other two:

This program does not work on Fedora due to lack of gksu, so I think I
am limited to plain hda-analyer.

This requires code changes, right? I am afraid this is beyond my
skillset, I am a biologist, after all.
