 Mario,
 is this still broken upstream?

I don't know about the latest linux, but as of 2.6.22.9 it was still
broken.

I just got mail from someone else who had the same problem and the same
fix worked for them.

But a while ago I heard from someone else who tried it and it did not
help with the problem on their system. It seems there may be a few
different problems that result in similar symptoms.

There may be a good reason for the original patch--it may fix some other
problem on a different system. This audio stuff is all a bit crazy. All
I know is, the fix works for me, and at least some other people.

I guess it really needs someone to look into this chipset in depth and
understand what is actually going on, rather than just randomly patching
things.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

 I'm happy to finally have found a solution to this problem (I hope).
 It's probably not the right place to ask, but I've been searching on how
 to unapply this (or any) patch, without success...

 Could anyone give some pointers or perhaps a how to on on how to do
 this? (I've been fiddling around with gentoo for a year, just don't know
 how to do this kind of stuff on ubuntu).

It may still be touch-and-go; someone else said reversing this patch did
not fix the problem on their machine--so you'll have to try it and
see. It definitely works for me on my nw8240.

I don't know anything about dealing with the patch on ubuntu in
particular, but assuming that you can build the kernel, all you need to
do is go and manually change the relevant line of code and then rebuild
your kernel (or just the relevant module).

Good luck!

[Bug 21574] Re: Only headphones work after suspend on HP nx8220

2007-10-07 Thread Mario Becroft
I have tracked it down! (Still don't know the mechanism, but there is a
fix.)

The bug was fixed in commit 30b35399ceb2398d05837863476dcb12f12f3a82

It was broken again in commit 19bfafb2ed1a59efb979b6725ab7626a94f7e078

The latter only removes one line, a call to pci_set_power_state() in
intel8x0_suspend() (a line that had been added in the first commit).

Simply unapplying that commit fixes the problem. The bizarre thing is
that the latter commit was designated as correcting the speaker problem
on suspend to RAM. At least for my laptop (HP nw8240) this patch
actually *causes* the problem.

[Bug 21574] Re: Only headphones work after suspend on HP nx8220

2007-10-06 Thread Mario Becroft
An update: as someone else has mentioned: at some stage this problem was
fixed, and at least for me in the 2.6.19 kernel the problem had gone
away. Since upgrading to 2.6.22.9 the problem has come back again on my
nw8240.

I have no idea what actually fixed the problem or exactly which kernel
version it was fixed in, or exactly when it came back.

See my notes at:

http://hpwiki.cactii.net/hpwiki/nw8240

I will try and put up some more detailed information. As explained
there, you can fix it by hacking your hardware, but that is not really
an ideal solution.

The main problem is I don't know where the extra signal comes from that
turns the amplifier off so I am no closer to knowing how to fix it. I
also do not understand why they have bother having this signal since it
is already controlled from the AC97 codec anyway.

Help!

[Bug 21574] Re: sound gone after resuming from sleep on hp nx8220

2006-09-24 Thread Mario Becroft
I have this exact problem with HP nw8240. After suspend-to-RAM, the
internal speakers do not work, but headphones are ok. A suspend-to-disc
(power off) cycle fixes the problem.

I tried comparing all the AC97 registers and other info in /proc/asound
but they are identical in the working and not-working cases.

I have not done any ALSA development so I am not sure if there is an
easy way of playing with the AC97 registers with a userspace program.
Otherwise I am not sure how to easily debug this problem. Obviously
something subtle has to be initialised after resume.

Is anyone else working on this?
