[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix headset mic on Acer Nitro 5
Posted by Hridesh MG 1 week, 1 day ago
The headset jack on the realtek ALC287 codec for the Acer Nitro 5
AN515-58 laptop requires a fixup to detect microphone input.

The required pin config and verbs were obtained by reverse engineering
the windows driver using RtHD dump.

This is a generic setup for the headset input in CTIA mode.
Do you really need this explicity?  Usually it's set up at
alc_headset_mode_ctia() when the iPhone type is connected.

The table is sorted in PCI SSID order.  Please put at the right
place.

Nowadays the less need for a new model name string.  You can specify
the model with an alias of SSID if any other device needs to apply the
same quirk, too.  So, unless it's mandatory, better to drop.


thanks,

Yeah, the mic wont pick up input without it. I did have a feeling that
it's supposed to be set up automatically rather than being set as a
verb but I couldn't figure out which part of the code I'm supposed to
modify to make that happen. I've tried running it with dynamic
debugging turned on but I don't see the output of codec_dbg from
alc_headset_mode_ctia() :(

Will do, thanks.

I added the model name string to make debugging easier for users. When
troubleshooting this issue, I followed many guides that recommended
the 'Codec-Specific Models' document, but no entry existed for the
ALC287. I thought that adding a model name would help users quickly
identify and apply the correct quirk without needing kernel expertise.
However, if this goes against the current standards, I’m happy to
adjust.

Is alc_fixup_headset_mode() called by the quirk chain?
When this is set up via quirks, alc_update_headset_mode() gets called
at initialization and this should detect the headset type.  At that
point, alc_headset_mode_ctia() would be called if the proper type gets
detected.

We used to add static model names in the past, but since some years ago
the driver can accept a style like model=1025:169a option, so there is
no longer need for the explicit new model name string.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I believe I've managed
to find the root problem. I've set it up via quirks to call
alc_update_headset_mode(), when I plug in any earphone,
alc_determine_headset_type() incorrectly determines that the type is
OMTP despite it being CTIA (I've confirmed this on a friend's laptop).
Adding my codec to a case in alc_determine_headset_type() for my codec
seems to fix this issue.
After the headset is detected as CTIA, I also had to add my codec to a
case in alc_headset_mode_ctia() to set the process coefficient to
0xD689 (as written in my original patch) to finally pick up the mic
input.

I hope this is a satisfactory approach, if it is not, please let me
know. I'll make an attempt to understand the cases and process
coefficients before sending v2.
