not sure why the subwoofer use TRRS Jack does it use spdif since 3 pins
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-032871.htm there is also a mono pin Node 0x17 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40050c: Mono Amp-Out Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x80] Pincap 0x00000010: OUT Pin Default 0x411111f0: [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear Conn = 1/8, Color = Black DefAssociation = 0xf, Sequence = 0x0 Misc = NO_PRESENCE Pin-ctls: 0x00: Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 EPSS Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 1 0x0f if subwoofer is only connected to right channel of node 0x16, the solution is force the driver in 4 channel mode and need pulseaudio to mix left and right to subwoofer you can also restrict the auto parser to put the two speaker pins into extra out but those notebook with three internal speakers to line out to support 5.1 for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(mout->extra_out_nid); i++) if (!mout->no_share_stream && mout->extra_out_nid[i]) snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec, mout->extra_out_nid[i], stream_tag, 0, format); the retask of spdif to speaker won`t help since you lose the center and rear channels in 5.1 mode it is just use a bug in the auto parser and those alc880 codec with zero pin default at the digital pin complex -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040873 Title: [N56VZ, Realtek ALC663, Black Headphone Out, Right] No sound at all: Subwoofer not working Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, this bug is a fork of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- driver/+bug/871808 because #871808 stands for a different hardware with a different solution, so people may get confused. Here is a summary (see post #48 to #54 of #871808): The subwoofer of Asus N56VZ laptop doesn't work "out of the box". #sudo hda-jack-sense-test -a : *** Without subwoofer: Pin 0x1e (Black SPDIF Out): present = No *** With subwoofer: Pin 0x1e (Black SPDIF Out): present = Yes http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=2778e7f430aa95ae219d0b2bc3cb5e46abd0a33a --> There are two ways of making it work: #1 a. Add to rc.local : echo 0x1e 0x99130112 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/user_pin_configs echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig b. Add options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf c. Reboot d. Set the mode to "Analog Stereo Output" and then to "Analog Surround 5.1 output" in the sound settings panel. You have to do this each time you reboot!!! #2 a. Add to rc.local : echo 0x16 0x99130111 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/user_pin_configs echo 0x1e 0x99130112 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/user_pin_configs echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig b. Reboot c. Set the mode to "Analog Stereo Output" and then to "Analog Surround 5.1 output" in the sound settings panel. You have to do this each time you reboot!!! Both give the same results and fix the bug. --> Can you make it work out of the box? There is still two other bugs on this laptop : - crackling audio when playing with sound volume: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1040867 - When I put the omputer in sleep mode, there is no way to get sound working on resume: should I open a new bug to investigate this?
