Re: BUG in >=1.0.13rc1

I am lost :)

I have compared the codec files from mine laptop and with the one you sent.
I used codec files generated by generic support.

And for my laptop it makes sense:

Node 0x14 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out
  Pin Default 0x99130110: [Fixed] Speaker at Int ATAPI
Node 0x15 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out
  Pin Default 0x411111f0: [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear
Node 0x16 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out

Node 0x17 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out
  Pin Default 0x411111f0: [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear

  Pin Default 0x99a30130: [Fixed] Mic at Int ATAPI
Node 0x1a [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out
  Pin Default 0x01811031: [Jack] Line In at Ext Rear
Node 0x1b [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018f: Stereo Amp-In Amp-Out
  Pin Default 0x0121101f: [Jack] HP Out at Ext Rear
Node 0x1c [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400001: Stereo
  Pin Default 0x593301f0: [N/A] CD at Int ATAPI
Node 0x1d [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400000: Mono

Node 0x1e [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400300: Mono Digital
  Pin Default 0x99430120: [Fixed] SPDIF Out at Int ATAPI


And, if I understand those correctly, it says that I have one internal speaker 
(0x14), one internal Mic (0x19), one jack for another mic (0x18), one jack 
for line in (0x1a), and one jack for HP (0x1b). And this is correct, I have 
built-in speaker and microphone, and 3 jacks - one for HP, one for line-in 
and one for external mic. Oh, and this listing says that I have one internal 
digital output which I am not aware of ;)

But when I examine yours listing, it is... strange:

Node 0x14 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out
  Pin Default 0x99030110: [Fixed] Line Out at Int ATAPI

It says, that you have internal line-out (speaker, maybe?), one jack for line 
out, one jack for mic, and internal line-in (maybe internal mic?).
So it just looks wrong.... What input/outputs do you have? Do you have 
internal mixer? And this listing doesn't say anything about headphones... 

Since this autodetection stuff is based on BIOS (at least it says it is ;) ), 
maybe you could try upgrading your BIOS?

Can you get any sound out of any external inputs/outputs? Or maybethe mixer 
which controls your speaker volume is described in a different way? What 
happens if you max all the mixer settings, to get max volume (and unmuted) 
everywhere?
I can see that in the codec#0 from not working state you have most of your 
audio outputs muted, whereas they are at max volume in working state. Maybe 
the right output is just muted? :)

Has anybody any idea what might be a reason of such Pin Defaults?
Why would it be correct for one laptop, and... at least strange for another?
In both cases the generic support was used.

As I said, my adventure with ALSA and hda-intel started about two weeks ago, 
so maybe I am missing something obvious here? :)

I have also one more guess - if unmuting and changing volume in all of the 
lines doesn't change anything, maybe some of the mixers are just unavailable 
because detected (as the listing says: N/A) that they are not present, and 
muted by default. Maybe changing the driver to max all the volume levels and 
unmute everything by default would help, but then you wouldn't have any 
volume control anyway (?) :)

Hmm.. enough of that guessing for now, maybe someone more competent would come 
and tell what is wrong here? :P
