All volume controllers are at 70% and unmuted, except for PCM, because there is no mute/unmute-button. ====================================================================== Relationships ID Summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- duplicate of 0001517 No sound on hda-intel on Acer TravelMat... ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lobstaj - 02-22-06 18:29 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I also tried the model=test option on my Acer Extensa 6702WLMi, the only sound output is on the line-out jack. Internal and external (via jack) microphone also do work. If the model=test option doesn't give any output on headphone or internal speakers, does that mean that the problem with ACER laptops is not in ALSA at all? (Because the test option seems to have mixer controls for all ALC260 features?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jwoithe - 02-23-06 01:12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Catching up on some recent posts here... AndyP: I have noticed tinny output once: when trying to play though the mic/linein jack. As per my recent post on alsa-devel, I'm not entirely sure what causes this yet. In my case the tinny sound is not affected by the setting of the respective pin mode control, so your situation is a little different to mine (and also somewhat strange). I really cannot imagine why the enabling of the headphone amp should cause a loss of bass in your case, and I'll need to think about this a bit more. One thing I will check: you've supplied your PCI ids in an earlier post, so I'll compare those with the ones reported by my laptop. Maybe we're dealing with a different chip revision or something strange like that. AndyP: I would look into the cause of those alsaplayer errors. A quick glance suggests that alsaplayer is having some difficulty and may indeed be a reason why alsaplayer doesn't give any audio output. One thing which confuses me slightly though: if alsaplayer is nonfunctional, how did you generate the audio you reported as being output from LINE1 on 18 Feb? I guess you used aplay for that, or some other audio player. AndyP: the report of the LINE2 mode switch affecting the *treble* is interesting. We've had the reports of a loss of bass in some situations, but not a loss of treble. You also reported a loss of bass in another situation. Interesting. lobstaj: it is true that to the best of my knowledge all analog controls of the ALC260 chip are presented when "test" mode is active. I have however had another thought about these Acer laptops. The ALC260 also has a number of general purpose IO lines (GPIO) which are currently all set to zero. I'm wondering whether in some laptops (such as the acer) they are used to switch on various external features for some pins - external power amps, filters and the like. To this end I will see about adding mixer controls for these so we can see if they make any practical difference. It'll probably be early next week before I can get a patch out onto the net.
