I've now tested the kernel fix with my hardware and confirmed it works. I compiled Xenial's 4.4.0-14-generic kernel after applying the patch, by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel . With the patched kernel, my headset's headphones and microphone work and the background noise isn't present, without needing an /etc/modprobe.d/snd- hda-intel.conf for module option fix and without needing to disable Loopback Mixing.
I had to slightly adjust Takashi Iwai's patch, with regards to line numbers and surrounding context lines, to get it to successfully apply, and I've attached this. ** Patch added: "patch_realtek.c.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1550765/+attachment/4605166/+files/patch_realtek.c.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550765 Title: Headset doesn't work for HP EliteBook 755 G2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1550765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
