Fix for Asus G75 notebook subwoofer

Fix for Asus G75 notebook subwoofer

[Massimo Del Fedele]

This code fixes surround path of asus G75; i'll drop here as a function to be called
before codec initialization (I did it in static int patch_vt2002P() ) because I don't
know how to detect the notebook and apply it only when needed (I'm new to alsa code).

/* Fixes for Asus G75 subwoofer
    pin 24 is marked as speaker by bios -- should mark as line
    pin 33 has a wrong connection to out-of-range nid #3e
*/
  static int fix_asus_g75_subwoofer(struct hda_codec *codec)
  {
	/* right connection to pin widget #33 */
	hda_nid_t conn[8] = {0x1c};
	unsigned int conf;
	
	/* Fix connection of pin widget #33 on VT1802p
	 * reported connection (33-1e) refers to non-existent widget #1e which in turn
	 * reports a connection to #1c; we skip nonexistent 1e widget landing directly
	 * on 1c one
	 */
  	snd_hda_override_conn_list(codec, 0x33, 1, conn);

	// pin 24 should be marked as line out pin (not speaker as in bios)
	// and as AC_JACK_PORT_COMPLEX connection to avoid to be taken by autoparser as a speaker
	conf = snd_hda_codec_get_pincfg(codec, 0x24);
	conf = conf & ~AC_DEFCFG_DEVICE;
	conf = (conf & ~AC_DEFCFG_PORT_CONN) | (AC_JACK_PORT_COMPLEX << AC_DEFCFG_PORT_CONN_SHIFT);
	snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg(codec, 0x24, conf);
	
	// pin 33 should be marked as line out pin (not speaker as in bios)
	// and as AC_JACK_PORT_COMPLEX, not AC_JACK_PORT_NONE as in bios
	conf = snd_hda_codec_get_pincfg(codec, 0x33);
	conf = conf & ~AC_DEFCFG_DEVICE;
	conf = (conf & ~AC_DEFCFG_PORT_CONN) | (AC_JACK_PORT_COMPLEX << AC_DEFCFG_PORT_CONN_SHIFT);
	snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg(codec, 0x33, conf);

	return 0;
}

I guess that the fix on NID #33 should be applied anyways on VT1802p, because by now it connects to a non-existing widget
(well, it does exist but is not documented and out of NID range; it should be a stereo-to-mono mixer).
BTW, also NID #34, which has 2 connections, has one of them to non-existing nid above; in my case it does no harm :

Widget #24 -- ANALOG STEREO PIN COMPLEX
	Input from widgets :  14 3e       <-- widget 3e is out of range, but connects to 1c widget
	Connection type : JACK
	Device          : LINE OUT
	Does NOT support unsolicited response
	Out amp  present
	In amp NOT present

can you post the output of alsa-info.sh ?

it is the auto parser put the speaker to autocfg->lineout

vt1802 also has connection to 0x3e in node 0x24 and 0x33

you cannot change the pin default from speaker of 0x24 to lineout if node
0x33 only support mono

should the auto parser put it into autocfg->mono_out?

Yep, if you look at above, this one was exactly the output before my 2 patches; the only difference
was line 24, marked as type=SPEAKER; no trace of mono pin 0x33.
I guess the 0x33 is skipped because the parser don't find a path from it, as it have a connection to
widget 0x3e with is out of range (widgets are reported to be from 0x08 to 0x0c).
We could also patch the returned widget number to be 2 widgets more, even id 0x3d is NOT there.
>
> vt1802 also has connection to 0x3e in node 0x24 and 0x33

The 0x3e is a stereo to mono mixer, connecting to 0x1c.
As above, VT1802p reports to have widgets up to 0x3c.

maybe.... I didn't try that one.
With both patches the stuffs appears like a 4 channel one; the correct would be 2+1, but
I didn't manage to get it right.

Anyways, I did all this without datasheet... I've tried to get it from VIA, with usual (null) results.
Maybe the 2 exceeding widgets are reported there, I don't know.

Resuming, without patches, the auto_parser report for asus :

0x24 Line out, type speaker
0x25 Hp out
0x33 is missing

Forcing the connection from 0x33 to 0x1c (skipping so 0x3e) the pin 0x33 don't appear
because bios marks it at none-connection.
Forcing the connection to JACK, it puts as a mono speaker, so no sound from it either.
Forcing to be a line out, sound only from it because then 0x24 takes the speaker place (marked as speaker in bios).
Forcing both 0x24 and 0x33 to be line out gives 4 channel sound (with 2 rear channels output to 0x33 mono).

No idea on how to get the 2+1 behaviour, but at least now it sounds.

multiout.extra_out seem support multi stereo streams in
snd_hda_multi_out_analog_prepare()

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(mout->extra_out_nid); i++)
                 if (!mout->no_share_stream && mout->extra_out_nid[i])
                         snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec,
                                                    mout->extra_out_nid[i],
                                                    stream_tag, 0, format);

how to put those internal speakers into multiout->extra_out in
via_auto_create_speaker_ctls() when the auto parser put the speaker into
autocfg->lineout ?

only two volume controls at 0x08 and 0x09,
there are three pin complexes 0x24, 0x25 and 0x33

I guess it's ignored for 2 reasons :

1) N/Aconnection
2) Input from non-reported 0x3e widget

Nope. The sound path I got finally are :
08/34/14/24/00
08/21/14/24/00
09/3c/1c/33/00
08/35/15/25/00
08/21/15/25/00

So, front on 0x08, shared with HP, and subwoofer on 0x09. Volumes are on 0x08 and 0x09 controls,
afaik there are no more volume controls there.

I didn't retask the mic (0x2b)... just the 24 and 33.

Don't know.... if I let 0x33 and/or 0x24 as speaker, they're put as speaker out but not taken
in multiout paths.

As above, a volume control is shared between front (24) and HP (25) pins, I guess.
Volumes are present just at DAC level, not pins.

Yep... behaviour is following :

if NO headphone plugged in, I can choose between stereo and 4 channel surround.
With pulse I can then balance left/right and front/rear channels, and set the
overall sound volume.
The output selector of pulseaudio shows just "analog output".

if headset is plugged in, output audio selector shows both "analog output" and "headphone output",
but no matters what I select, output of front channelsgoes to HP, and rear channels are disabled.
I guess the output selector switch should work, but it doesn't and audio goes always to HP when plugged.

>

Can't obviously have indep HP mode AND 2+1 channels, having just 2 volume controls.
Maybe it would be possible to have indep HP mode when selecting stereo mode output,
but I don't see much use for it.

When I said "shared" I meant "alternative"; channel 8 is used for HP when plugged, for front speakers
when unplugged; I can't hear both together, and I think it's correct behaviour, having just 2 volume
widgets inside VT1802P.
Plugged HP completely disables both subwoofer and front speakers; this should be selectable by pulse
output selector, but it doesn't.... Bu I guess that one is another bug.

it is because

spec->multiout.num_dacs = cfg->line_outs + spec->smart51_nums;

so this may be the reason for the auto parser put internal speaker 0x24
into autocfg->lineout

are you sure that you need pulseaudio to upmix stereo to 4 channels since
the driver use copy front mode for 2 channels playback when
spec->multiout.num_dacs
= 2

/* surrounds */
for (i = 1; i < mout->num_dacs; i++) {
if (chs >= (i + 1) * 2) /* independent out */
snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec, nids[i], stream_tag,
   i * 2, format);
else if (!mout->no_share_stream) /* copy front */
snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec, nids[i], stream_tag,
   0, format);
}

this mean that the channel map may has no relationship with the number of
internal speakers of the notebook

That's very possible, the patch should be applied only for selected machines... But I don't know how to do it.

IMHO, but that's just my opinion, an independent HP is quite useless for notebooks.
AFAIK the unpatched driver maps a DAC to front speakers (0x08) and another for HP (0x09), so
no DAC free for subwoofer. We could maybe mono mix the front channel and route it to subwoofer,
but then you'd have no separate volume control for sub, which makes it useless.

Those are two unrelated things.
The code above is plain wrong (and my patch isn't correct either, but at least makes it
working...); when populating DAC nids, the scanner forgets to update the number of found
needs while scanning; I mean, in practice during the recursive scan the DACS are always free,
so only the first one is returned.

The 0x24 is marked as speaker but is put on line out by auto_parser IF no true line outs are found.
I didn't dig too deep inside it, but I guess that if it finds NO line outs (and asus G75 is the case...)
it takes first speaker channel and puts on line streams. Not the best solution,IMHO.

Dont't know, but being without separate volume controls, all must be controlled
at dac level, I think... and having a speaker out without separate volume
makes no sense.
But I didn't dig much on it.

You meant 0x3e instead of 0x1e in the comment above, right?

Yes, these two connections could be fixed statically in the driver.

Other than that, the default pin configurations could be easily
implemented via fixups.  Take a look at patch_conexant.c.

In anyway, it'd be helpful if you can attach the alsa-info.sh output
on your machine.  Even better would be results before and after the
patch.

The unpatched info is already on bug report :

(comment #7)

I'll add the patched one now.

BTW, did you see the above patch (error in via_auto_fill_dac_nids) ?
My patch isn't correct either (fails when the 'continue' path is taken)
but it's better than now. I guess that code should be rewritten, it's
quite weird in respect to dac numbering.

Ok. here the original functions :

	}

	nums = snd_hda_get_connections(codec, nid, conn, ARRAY_SIZE(conn));

	spec->multiout.num_dacs = dac_num;     <--- sets spec->multiout.num_dacs ONLY at end of search, do is_empty_dac always returns true during search
	return 0;
}


Resuming ;

1) during scan, the spec->multiout.num_dacs is taken as the number of already used DACs, but this is updated jut at END of scan, so during scan
     the first DAC is always taken.
2) spec->private_dac_nids[i] = dac; should be spec->private_dac_nids[dac_num++] = dac; the 'continue' statement above can leave some holes of
     uninitializad data in spec->private_dac_nids.
3) spec->multiout.num_dacs sould be updated on EACH dac found, not just at end, otherwise you've got the problem at point 1

The patch I posted on former post is incomplete (don't solve the 'holes' due to continue statement), so it should be rewritten.
If you mean, I can do it correctly on next days.

Ok... here is te diff (with whole asus patch). I cleaned up the part of via_auto_fill_dac_nids,
it should be correct now in all parts, even for skipped nids.

Could you post also alsa-info.sh output before applying your patch,
too?

Actually the only place to be fixed is the assignment of
spec->private_dac_nids[].  spec->out_path[] should correspond to
cfg->line_out_pins[].  That is, the patch below should suffice (in
addition to pin default changes and connection overrides for VT1802).

Hi...  not tested, but IMHO your patch won't  be enough; you're not updating the spec->multiout.num_dacs inside the loop,
which means that is_empty_dac(codec, conn[i]) inside __parse_output_path() will not detect used DACs as used :

static bool is_empty_dac(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t dac)
{
     struct via_spec *spec = codec->spec;
     int i;

     for (i = 0; i < spec->multiout.num_dacs; i++) { <---- HERE, using spec->multiout.num_dacs as loop end
         if (spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] == dac)
             return false;
     }
     if (spec->hp_dac_nid == dac)
         return false;
     return true;
}

You need to update spec->multiout.num_dacs INSIDE scan loop, NOT at end.

Which seems ok to me.

I don't know if it's a correct behaviour or not.

It's OK, just missing the stereo capability check in the mixer code,
but almost harmless.  Which channel (left or right) of "surround"
mixer actually controls the volume of subwoofer on your machine?

Both, as the volume control is at DAC level and not at pin one.
aplay with channel test sound shows a 4 channels audio, driving
subwoofer with both rear left and rear right data.
If I lower left or right volume, just opposite channel goes to
subwoofer.
I guess that mono mixing is done at widget 0x3e (the hidden one).

OK, it must be because of the DAC amp being stereo.

Yes, this is still a missing piece.  The driver needs an override to
the standard chmap.
