[PATCH] ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Fix Speakers on HP OmniBook 7 16-bh0xxx

[Yufan]

From: Yufan Kuang <kuangfan955@gmail.com>

The HP OmniBook 7 Laptop 16-bh0xxx (SSID 103C8E60) has two CS35L41
amplifiers connected via I2C with internal boost, but its _DSD
provides cirrus,dev-index as a Package while the driver expects
per-device scalar values, causing the probe to fail with -EINVAL,
leaving only the left speaker working.

Add the SSID to the configuration and prop-model override tables.

Tested on a HP OmniBook 7 Laptop 16-bh0xxx (BIOS F.12) with
CachyOS 7.1.3-2; speaker-test confirms both channels work correctly.

The very same change has been already submitted (maybe multiple
times), e.g.
  https://lore.kernel.org/20260709214414.8461-1-skbotnl@disroot.org

The problem is known, and it's basically an issue of the firmware.
But obviously we need to address *something* in the driver side.

Cirrus people -- do you have ideas to fix those HP laptops?

If it's not feasible in a short term, maybe it'd be better to take
those quirk additions; although they aren't 100% correct, but they do
work somehow in a certain level.


thanks,

Takashi

RE: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Fix Speakers on HP OmniBook 7 16-bh0xxx

[Stefan Binding (Opensource)]

Hi Takashi,

We should be able to add entries for this laptop and others in
cs35l41_hda_property.c to override all the missing properties from ACPI.
The ACPI in those laptops is malformed, which means the entire _DSD for the
CS35L41 is corrupted, and appears to be missing from the kernels
perspective.
In most cases the malformed ACPI is also not correct for that laptop, so its
not a case of taking the settings from the ACPI on the laptop itself and
putting them in cs35l41_hda_property.c.

However, we should be able to determine these settings ourselves, but end
users will not be able to.
We are actively looking at doing so for this laptop, and several others.

Thanks,
Stefan

Re: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Fix Speakers on HP OmniBook 7 16-bh0xxx

[Yufan]

From: Yufan Kuang <kuangfan955@gmail.com>

Hi Takashi and all,

Thank you for the review. I missed Sven's earlier submission — I only
searched the source tree and commit history for the SSID, not the
mailing list.

Since his v2 patch is identical and predates mine, please drop my
submission.

I have tested the identical quirk on my HP OmniBook 7 (BIOS F.12)
and both speakers work correctly. If it helps, you can add:

Tested-by: Yufan Kuang <kuangfan955@gmail.com>

to Sven's patch.

Thanks,
Yufan
