Summary:                    Problems with ASUS A6Km
Description: 
I have the same problems described here:
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1898 , but I'm
opening a new report because I can't find a way to add a comment there.

I tried that asus-a6km-fix.diff but it doesn't work, in fact it doesn't
appear to have any effect at all.

So you must be using kernels with additional sets of patches, even if it's
from kernel.org -- I'm using the "official" one.  I can't tell you wheter
those additional patches make a difference or not, but that's precisely
what I'm trying to find out -- trying to isolate the problem, because I've
seen too many posts for *similar* laptop models, talking about modifying
registers of the card and enabling different switches to get it to work,
that didn't work for me anyway. This method is pretty straightforward
compared to the others, so it'll be easier to follow for people with
problems, and it will help to isolate other possible problems; but I don't
know if it works only for me, or only for my Q0012H model, or what.

If you had it working in the past with this patch, there are reasonable
chances that your problem is in fact due to the additional patches (using
ALSA 1.0.12-rcX, or some other stuff).  Also, what's your model, Q0012H
too?

Raymond: huh? What do you mean, do you get it working or not, etc?

i obviously was mistaken. i must have looked in the wrong place???

after i applied the patch, it worked again, but i could have sworn, that
i've seen the patch applied before. sorry for the confusion.

then only 3 activated levers in alsamixer, are Master, PCM and External
Amplifier.

Summary:                    Problems with ASUS A6Km
Description: 
I have the same problems described here:
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1898 , but I'm
opening a new report because I can't find a way to add a comment there.

I tried that asus-a6km-fix.diff but it doesn't work, in fact it doesn't
appear to have any effect at all.

i'm honestly not sure, what you want me to check. yes i've ONCE made my
speakers work and the external amplifier setting had to be turned on.

the patch you've posted, is already in 2.6.17, so there won't be any
changes of course. just check the files for yourself, i wonder, that you
didn't get any errors, from your patch.

i've currently compiled another vanilla 2.6.17 kernel and still had no
luck whatsoever with that stupid sound chip. i'm starting to think, that
i'll never buy another asus notebook again, they really suck hard. broken
sound, broken bios/acpi. sucky touchpad... next time i'll pay the 1000
bucks extra for an ibm :(.

I got it working with 1.0.11 and 1.0.12, so I'll repeat the steps to make
it clear:

0- These instructions work for me in ASUS A6KM-Q0012H model (note that
slightly different configurations seem to lead to slightly different
problems with ACPI, sound, things that work with some BIOS versions but
not with other, etc).  In my case, the problem was that to get any kind of
sound being emitted I had to connect the headphones and put Master and PCM
volumes at > 70% values, and then I got to hear something, but with a lot
of distorsion, making it unusable.  Most/all A6KM models seem to have this
issue.  The output of lspci -v is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 1103
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 22
        I/O ports at e400 [size=256]
        I/O ports at e000 [size=128]
        Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- If you're using up to 2.6.17 vanilla kernels (as opposed to kernels
including additional patches, most distributions do this, as well as
snapshots in kernel.org site), you'll need the patch attached (grabbed
from https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1898 ).  Apply
the patch with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# cd /usr/src/linux-VERSION/sound
# patch -p1 < /PATH/asus-a6km-fix.diff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then configure and compile as usual.

2- At this point I had it still working as before.  As opposed to comments
in other bug reports, in my case I don't need to mess with echo commands
to alter registers of the cards, nor altering surround configurations or
anything like that (in fact, I couldn't get it working with any of those
tricks).  Instead, what I had to do is to enable External Amplifier, in
KDE mixer is in the Switches tab.  Note that the alsamixer interface is a
bit confusing: it's a switch, so "MM" means muted, and when enabled shows
"00" (when using alsamixer I thought that it was another regular slider,
so since I could only get it to show MM or 00 I thought that it was
another symptom of the driver not setting up the device properly).

3- Please comment here whether this works for you or not, including
meaningful information (in the case that it's not working, pleae include
kernel versions and who distributes it, alsa version that the kernel use,
exact model of the laptop, output of the device with lspci -v, etc), so
hopefully ALSA guys can put the instructions in their site, maybe I make a
guide with configuration instructions for this laptop, etc.

I got it working just by enabling External Amplifier (not messing up with
registers, 3D surround or other stuff; that some comments to other bug
reports talk about).

Note that the alsamixer interface is a bit confusing: it's a switch, so
"MM" means muted, and when enabled shows "00" (when using alsamixer I
thought that it was another regular slider, so since I could only get it
to show MM or 00 I thought that it was another symptom of the driver not
setting up the device properly).

I'm still using 1.0.12-rc1, but since I prefer to use kernels without
additions (so substituting them for new ones is easier), I'll try to get
it working with 2.6.17 (which needs that small patch only, and has alsa
1.0.11-rc4 or so).  I'll post here whether it works or not.

eNTi: could you please check if this fixes your problem?

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1898 , but I'm
opening a new report because I can't find a way to add a comment there.

I tried that asus-a6km-fix.diff but it doesn't work, in fact it doesn't
appear to have any effect at all.

With 1.0.12-rc1, same problems, it doesn't appear to happen anything at
all.

It's the first time that I compile ALSA by hand, so don't know if this is
correct, by I only compiled and installed alsa-driver module, is that
correct? Or do I also need the libraries and other stuff, or that
alsa-kernel repository?

The output of the following commands is the same as before, just that it
uses 1.0.12-rc1.

dmes:
[   29.136132] intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 59453 usecs

I got it working just by enabling External Amplifier (not messing up with
registers, 3D surround or other stuff; that some comments to other bug
reports talk about).

Note that the alsamixer interface is a bit confusing: it's a switch, so
"MM" means muted, and when enabled shows "00" (when using alsamixer I
thought that it was another regular slider, so since I could only get it
to show MM or 00 I thought that it was another symptom of the driver not
setting up the device properly).

I'm still using 1.0.12-rc1, but since I prefer to use kernels without
additions (so substituting them for new ones is easier), I'll try to get
it working with 2.6.17 (which needs that small patch only, and has alsa
1.0.11-rc4 or so).  I'll post here whether it works or not.

eNTi: could you please check if this fixes your problem?

i'm currently using 209A as bios. i never actually had many problems with
usb, even though i read a lot of people do. i also use a fixed dsdt from
acpi.sourceforge.net.

my kernel versions vary from stock arch linux builds, community built to
self made. a self made vanilla+beyond patchset kernel + the patch against
ac97_patch.c made my speakers work. i don't know what it is, that changed
it to non-working again. i'm currently on 2.6.17-ck1 (community built).
maybe i'll compile another kernel tomorrow or so. i'll tell you the
outcome, even though i doubt, that it will work.

eNTi: are you using vanilla kernels, or from some distribution? Because all
this mess is quite strange, I never got it working. The combinations that
I tested are 2.6.16.8, 2.6.16.16 and 2.6.17-rc3 from Debian unstable, and
with 2.6.16.20 and 2.6.17 of vanilla kernels (the vanilla kernels with and
without the patch, I tested all combinations).

And which BIOS version are you using? I'm using the last one, from
A6KM210AS.zip, and I can't get the USB mouse working properly (some people
said that it was working with this one, but I never got this to work
either...), that's why I have to use "acpi=ht", to not have to unplug it
while the system boots. The original BIOS version shipped was 208.

Maybe the patches that the distributions apply to their kernels packages
or the BIOS make the difference, because the kernel versions are the same,
and apparently the hardware too...

Summary:                    Problems with ASUS A6Km
Description: 
I have the same problems described here:
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1898 , but I'm
opening a new report because I can't find a way to add a comment there.

I tried that asus-a6km-fix.diff but it doesn't work, in fact it doesn't
appear to have any effect at all.

any news on this. i'm having EXACTLY the same problem and even the same
laptop. i had it working a while back, with 2.6.16 + patch, which went
into 2.6.17. this is all very confusing.

Any improvement with ALSA 1.0.12-rc1?

Do you mean subsystem_vendor and subsystem_device? Despite the hexadecimal
0x before the numbers in the patch, it looks like the same -- I assume
that lspci uses hexadecimals too but doesn't print the 0x in front of the
numbers.

My model is A6KM Q0012H, with amd64 and DDR instead of DDRII of the Intel
models; and currently I use "acpi=ht" because it has some problems with
the BIOS (it won't boot with the USB attached otherwise). Doing 'echo "7a
57c1" > /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0+regs' doesn't work saying
that the device doesn't exists, but I can't think of any other difference
with the other bug reports talking about the same problem: symptoms are
the same, the models of the hardware seem to be the same too, etc.

Summary:                    Problems with ASUS A6Km
Description: 
I have the same problems described here:
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1898 , but I'm
opening a new report because I can't find a way to add a comment there.

I tried that asus-a6km-fix.diff but it doesn't work, in fact it doesn't
appear to have any effect at all.
