Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2013-08-30 05:46:34 UTC

Description of problem:

When alsamixer is run on my T410 with HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, the Mic Boost and Internal Mic Boost sliders are under Playback, as well as the Capture. I believe microphone settings should be under the Capture only.

Incidently, xfce4-mixer shows the sliders only under Playback and not under Capture.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -qf /bin/alsamixer
alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-2.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run alsamixer and try to set the Mic Boost.

Actual results:

The setting is under Playback (and in alsamixer under Capture as well).

Expected results:

The setting is under Capture.

Additional info:

The Mic boost applies to both the playback (the analog loopback) and to the capture. It's not an error.

Alright. There's however still the case of xfce4-mixer showing it *only* under Playback. Could you please help me phrase the technical details of a bug report against xfce4-mixer (or reopen this bug and change component)?

Comment 3 Jaroslav Kysela 2013-08-30 17:59:22 UTC

For the xfce4-mixer maintainer/developer: Our rule is to expose the shared mixer controls in both directions (playback and capture) in our mixer apps (ALSA).

Jan: would you be willing to file this upstream at bugzilla.xfce.org? Or would you like me to do so?

I'd prefer you did the upstream filing -- you probably already have account there. Thank you.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=743182


for cx20585 headphone , line out and dock line out are driectly connected to audio output and there is no loopback path from Mic jacks to output jacks

so this is a bug of the driver

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:16:47 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 8 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2015-01-12 09:49:01 UTC

I no longer have access to T410. If this is still a problem on that (and similar) hardware, could someone else chime in about the current state of affairs? Kevin, have we got the XFCE bugzilla that we could link from here?

Comment 9 Kevin Fenzi 2015-01-12 15:18:09 UTC

I don't have a T410 here either.

I cant seem to find the upstream bug... perhaps I failed to file it. ;(

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 11:25:39 UTC

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
