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** sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc662.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc662.c b/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc662.c index 5073165d1f3cf..3a943adf90876 100644 --- a/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc662.c +++ b/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc662.c @@ -313,6 +313,7 @@ enum { ALC897_FIXUP_HEADSET_MIC_PIN2, ALC897_FIXUP_UNIS_H3C_X500S, ALC897_FIXUP_HEADSET_MIC_PIN3, + ALC897_FIXUP_H610M_HP_PIN, }; static const struct hda_fixup alc662_fixups[] = { @@ -766,6 +767,13 @@ static const struct hda_fixup alc662_fixups[] = { { } }, }, + [ALC897_FIXUP_H610M_HP_PIN] = { + .type = HDA_FIXUP_PINS, + .v.pins = (const struct hda_pintbl[]) { + { 0x19, 0x0321403f }, /* HP out */ + { } + }, + }, }; static const struct hda_quirk alc662_fixup_tbl[] = { @@ -815,6 +823,7 @@ static const struct hda_quirk alc662_fixup_tbl[] = { SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x8469, "ASUS mobo", ALC662_FIXUP_NO_JACK_DETECT), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x105b, 0x0cd6, "Foxconn", ALC662_FIXUP_ASUS_MODE2), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x144d, 0xc051, "Samsung R720", ALC662_FIXUP_IDEAPAD), + SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1458, 0xa194, "H610M H V2 DDR4", ALC897_FIXUP_H610M_HP_PIN), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x14cd, 0x5003, "USI", ALC662_FIXUP_USI_HEADSET_MODE), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x1036, "Lenovo P520", ALC662_FIXUP_LENOVO_MULTI_CODECS), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x1057, "Lenovo P360", ALC897_FIXUP_HEADSET_MIC_PIN), -- 2.51.0
