Well, I couldn't let this one go. I did the following - call me paranoid if you like... 1) Downloaded WinIAP_Fix Touchpad.zip, and the MSI firmware I mentioned earlier as a comparison. 2) Compared the readable strings of corresponding executables - nothing suspicious, files look like different v

After a little research I can sort-of see what's going on. This WinIAP utility seems to come from Elan themselves, and a similar firmware update was distributed officially for an MSI laptop (https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GS70-STEALTH#down-firmware). Compared to that download, the one from the

The forum thread states that the file was reported as malware, and the download site is amazingly dodgy (including running what seems to be a JavaScript bitcoin miner in your browser). Given that the fix apparently works, is it possible to reverse-engineer the important part while removing the rub

1) Confirmed 2) Confirmed 3) Have no external mic, cannot test. The built-in laptop mic works fine. 4) I'm not sure exactly what the differences in headphone jacks are, but my "standard" headphones did not work at all initially, and after hdajackretask they work as I expect them to. 5) There ar

@FZ - For me, the headphone jack fix works entirely correctly. The rear speakers are muted when headphones are connected, and un-muted when the headphones are disconnected. Unless that's an issue with the new BIOS (I haven't tried it) then perhaps it would be worth having another tinker with hdajac

Hello Kai-Heng Feng, Thank you for your continued efforts in this area. Unfortunately, I also have no success after installing the lp1653456+mt kernel you linked (ubuntu 17.04, dual-boot with Win10). I have the same hardware as the others in this thread: Asus ROG g752vs. After unplugging my USB m
