Summary:                    Almost no sound on Asus laptop with Realtek ALC861
Description: 
I have almost no sound on my Asus A6RP-AP002 laptop. Almost because it can
be said that the sound is... 

But let me start from the beginning. 

I tried many things to get sound on my laptop. I tried alsa drivers from
realtek website, alsa 1.0.11 and latest drivers from HG. Alsa 1.0.11
examined my chipset properly - ALC861, other found it as ALC660. None of
them were working (no sound). 

2 days ago I downloaded latest 2.6.17.7 kernel and compiled it with
included alsa drivers (1.0.11rc4), sound chipset was examined properly,
but still nothing... 

I started using various options with snd-hda-intel module. 
Built-in speakers are not working with any of options
(model=3stack/3stack-dig/6stack-dig) but headphones are almost working...

With model=3stack I can hear sound with headphones but only when I plug
them into line-in jack. The sound is very very quiet and it's also with
crackling noise... (Volume is set to maximum level). 

With model=6stack-dig situation is almost the same, except that the
headphones are plugged into headphone jack and the same sound can be heard
in only one headphone (the second one is just silent).

The built-in microphone is working quite well (there is only not too loud
squeal during records).

Other options like posotion_fix=1/2 or single_cmd=1 are not changing
anything (with posotion_fix=2 Ubuntu is not loading, X hangs when the
login sound should be played).  

If anyone would like to help me and need any other information than those
placed in this post and in attached file, just ask for them and I'll
answer :)

Hope someone smart will know how to fix everything :)

I think that all these problems related to hda-intel driver are having
similar problems. It's just some kind of routing problem, how the codec is
routed to out/input jacks.
It looks like the codec has predefined table of how the ports should be
configured, perhaps this table should be altered for each laptop model ?

configured, perhaps this table should be altered for each laptop model ?

EDIT: I have been able to output the sound through MIC input ;) well kinda
strange, but i should read the datasheet more carefully

Exactly.  As default, the driver reads the pin configuration set up by BIOS
and assigns the basic mixer elements according to that unless the
predefined configuration is given in the driver code.  Unfortunately, in
many cases, the BIOS setup is broken, and in other many cases, the
auto-configuration isn't perfectly matching with the actual state.  In
such a case, we have to write up the proper support code.

BTW, the datasheet of ALC861 is available on Realtek's web site.

I had the datasheet for a long time, i just never had a look in it. The
tricky part is to determine which jack is connected to which port
Would the Pin sense have any use ? I mean there could be utility to chceck
which port is connected, and it would give me much less options to try.
And also the impendance measured could be used to recognize some devices
as well.

If there is anything I could do to help you I'll do it, just tell me what
:) 

There would be no problem if the sound would just be in the other jack
than it sould be, but only if the sound would be good quality :P

Summary:                    Almost no sound on Asus laptop with Realtek ALC861
Description: 
I have almost no sound on my Asus A6RP-AP002 laptop. Almost because it can
be said that the sound is... 

But let me start from the beginning. 

I tried many things to get sound on my laptop. I tried alsa drivers from
realtek website, alsa 1.0.11 and latest drivers from HG. Alsa 1.0.11
examined my chipset properly - ALC861, other found it as ALC660. None of
them were working (no sound). 

2 days ago I downloaded latest 2.6.17.7 kernel and compiled it with
included alsa drivers (1.0.11rc4), sound chipset was examined properly,
but still nothing... 

I started using various options with snd-hda-intel module. 
Built-in speakers are not working with any of options
(model=3stack/3stack-dig/6stack-dig) but headphones are almost working...

With model=3stack I can hear sound with headphones but only when I plug
them into line-in jack. The sound is very very quiet and it's also with
crackling noise... (Volume is set to maximum level). 

With model=6stack-dig situation is almost the same, except that the
headphones are plugged into headphone jack and the same sound can be heard
in only one headphone (the second one is just silent).

The built-in microphone is working quite well (there is only not too loud
squeal during records).

Other options like posotion_fix=1/2 or single_cmd=1 are not changing
anything (with posotion_fix=2 Ubuntu is not loading, X hangs when the
login sound should be played).  

If anyone would like to help me and need any other information than those
placed in this post and in attached file, just ask for them and I'll
answer :)

Hope someone smart will know how to fix everything :)

If there is anything I could do to help you I'll do it, just tell me what
:) 

There would be no problem if the sound would just be in the other jack
than it sould be, but only if the sound would be good quality :P

I have tried to set all the ports as output and set the card to 8channel
mode. (with some hacking of the realtek patch). This means that the sound 
should appear  somewhere. I was only able to hear it from the mic jack. 
Another think i have noticed was, that the PC speaker output works, until
i first loade the driver. I think that the ALC861 might be configured the
right way by bios, and when the dirver loads it resets the codec to
default config. Resulting no sound (not even the beeping anymore). Any
ideas ?

In general, what we need are:

- mapping of each pin widgets and actual I/O
- any additional feature to activate speaker output (e.g. EAPD, GPIO, a
hidden  register, etc)

If we don't get this infromation from the hardware vendor (ASUS), you have
to figure out by yourself -- by trial and error.  That I cannot help at
all without the hardware here in my hand...

I wrote an email to Realtek... Hope someone will amswer it. :) 
Now I'm thinking about writing an email to Asus too.

The Realtek driver for Windows works fine. I don't know if it is possible
but maybe you could get some informations from that driver?

Michaldemin, does the sound you got was like mine, described in bug
report, or was it clear and good quality?

Tiwai, if there would be some HowTo or HandBook... I know nothing about
programming drivers but if it is similar to creating PHP scripts, then
maybe I would be able to do something... :)

Summary:                    Almost no sound on Asus laptop with Realtek ALC861
Description: 
I have almost no sound on my Asus A6RP-AP002 laptop. Almost because it can
be said that the sound is... 

But let me start from the beginning. 

I tried many things to get sound on my laptop. I tried alsa drivers from
realtek website, alsa 1.0.11 and latest drivers from HG. Alsa 1.0.11
examined my chipset properly - ALC861, other found it as ALC660. None of
them were working (no sound). 

2 days ago I downloaded latest 2.6.17.7 kernel and compiled it with
included alsa drivers (1.0.11rc4), sound chipset was examined properly,
but still nothing... 

I started using various options with snd-hda-intel module. 
Built-in speakers are not working with any of options
(model=3stack/3stack-dig/6stack-dig) but headphones are almost working...

With model=3stack I can hear sound with headphones but only when I plug
them into line-in jack. The sound is very very quiet and it's also with
crackling noise... (Volume is set to maximum level). 

With model=6stack-dig situation is almost the same, except that the
headphones are plugged into headphone jack and the same sound can be heard
in only one headphone (the second one is just silent).

The built-in microphone is working quite well (there is only not too loud
squeal during records).

Other options like posotion_fix=1/2 or single_cmd=1 are not changing
anything (with posotion_fix=2 Ubuntu is not loading, X hangs when the
login sound should be played).  

If anyone would like to help me and need any other information than those
placed in this post and in attached file, just ask for them and I'll
answer :)

Hope someone smart will know how to fix everything :)

my sound wasn't clear, it contained a high frequency beeping.
