Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-6.18] ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for Gigabyte Technology to fix headphone
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:32:45 -0400	[thread overview]

[ Upstream commit 56fbbe096a89ff4b52af78a21a4afd9d94bdcc80 ]

The BIOS of this machine has set 0x19 to mic, which needs to be set
to headphone pin in order to work properly.

## Analysis: ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for Gigabyte Technology to fix
headphone

### Commit Summary

This commit adds a new HDA audio quirk (`ALC897_FIXUP_H610M_HP_PIN`) for
the Gigabyte H610M H V2 DDR4 motherboard (PCI SSID `0x1458:0xa194`). The
BIOS incorrectly configures pin `0x19` as a microphone input, but it
needs to be configured as a headphone output (`0x0321403f`) for the
hardware to work properly.

### Classification: Hardware Quirk

This falls squarely into the **QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS** exception
category for stable backports. It:
- Adds a new `SND_PCI_QUIRK()` entry to an existing quirk table
- Adds a corresponding `HDA_FIXUP_PINS` definition
- Targets a specific device identified by PCI subsystem vendor/device ID

### Code Change Analysis

The change is minimal and entirely self-contained:

1. **New enum value**: `ALC897_FIXUP_H610M_HP_PIN` added at the end of
   the existing enum
2. **New fixup definition**: A simple `HDA_FIXUP_PINS` entry that sets
   pin `0x19` to `0x0321403f` (headphone out)
3. **New quirk table entry**: `SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1458, 0xa194, "H610M H V2
   DDR4", ALC897_FIXUP_H610M_HP_PIN)` matching the specific Gigabyte
   board

The pattern is identical to dozens of other quirks in this file. The
fixup type (`HDA_FIXUP_PINS`) is the simplest kind — it just overrides a
pin configuration value. No chaining, no custom functions.

### Bug and Impact

- **Real bug**: Headphone jack doesn't work on this Gigabyte motherboard
  because the BIOS misconfigures pin 0x19
- **User report**: Linked to bugzilla.kernel.org bug #220814, confirming
  a real user hit this
- **Impact**: Without this quirk, headphone output is completely non-
  functional on this board
- **Scope**: Only affects the specific Gigabyte H610M H V2 DDR4 board
  (PCI SSID match)

### Risk Assessment

- **Risk**: Essentially zero. The quirk only activates on the specific
  matching hardware. It cannot affect any other system.
- **Complexity**: Trivial — just a pin override table entry
- **Dependencies**: None. The ALC897 codec support and the
  HDA_FIXUP_PINS mechanism already exist in all stable trees that have
  ALC897 support.

### Stable Kernel Rules Compliance

1. **Obviously correct and tested**: Yes — standard pattern, user-
   reported and tested, accepted by Takashi Iwai (HDA maintainer)
2. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes — headphone doesn't work
3. **Important issue**: Yes — audio output broken on specific hardware
4. **Small and contained**: Yes — ~15 lines, single file, no behavioral
   changes to other hardware
5. **No new features/APIs**: Correct — just a device-specific workaround
6. **Applies cleanly**: Should apply cleanly as it's an addition to
   tables

### Verification

- The commit message explicitly states the bug: pin 0x19 set to mic by
  BIOS, needs to be headphone
- Link to bugzilla.kernel.org bug #220814 confirms user-reported issue
- The change follows the exact same pattern as hundreds of other HDA
  quirks in this file (e.g., `ALC897_FIXUP_HEADSET_MIC_PIN3` just above
  it)
- Signed-off by Takashi Iwai (tiwai@suse.de), the HDA subsystem
  maintainer
- PCI vendor ID 0x1458 is Gigabyte Technology (verified by convention in
  neighboring quirk entries)
- The fixup value `0x0321403f` decodes to a headphone output pin
  configuration (consistent with the commit message)
- No dependencies on other patches — the enum, fixup array, and quirk
  table additions are all self-contained

This is a textbook example of a hardware quirk that should be backported
to stable. It fixes broken audio hardware for real users, has zero risk
to other systems, and follows an established pattern.

**YES**
