Bug 483594

Updating PM score.

Removed 447297 from the depends on field as it causes problems with the R5.4
prioritized kernel list query.

From bug 483271.....

alsa-driver-2.6.17 produces sound on front output but alsamixer fails (same
behavior as current kernel with my patch applied)

So I tried with alsa-driver-2.6.19 and it works as expected, both the mixer and
the front output work.

Jaroslav, can you build a test kernel with the alsa-driver-2.6.19 so we can have a customer test it to see if it resolves their problems? I can put it on my people page if necessary.

2nd test version (64-bit kernel was tested on my laptop - seems OK now):

http://people.redhat.com/jkysela/RHEL5/kernel-2.6.18-133.el5hda54_2.i686.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/jkysela/RHEL5/kernel-2.6.18-133.el5hda54_2.x86_64.rpm

Patch (large!) is available here:

http://people.redhat.com/jkysela/RHEL5/0001-Subject-RHEL-5.4-PATCH-ALSA-HDA-driver-update-2.patch

Note: The snd-hda-intel kernel module cannot be unloaded (not serious issue to prevent further testing). I will fix this issue in third test of update after few days to let other people test this update on their machines. The mentioned patch already has a fix for it.

Test Kernel works for us on FSC E5730!
System comes up and Sound works on front jack, rear jack and internal speaker.
My collegue who did the tests reports crash of system-config-soundcard when trying to record audio and sporadic kernel panics at boot time.

Matthias, could you attach panic messages and do also basic recording tests using 'arecord -f cd a.wav' on command line?

I won't be in the office before monday. I asked my collegue (Chris) to add these information.

Third test kernel is available here:

http://people.redhat.com/jkysela/RHEL5/kernel-2.6.18-133.el5hda54_3.i686.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/jkysela/RHEL5/kernel-2.6.18-133.el5hda54_3.x86_64.rpm

It should solve issues with module unloading (reboot oops/panic problems) and enables PC Beep on ALC662/663 codecs.

the third test kernel works for us on FSC E5730!
System comes up and Sound works on front jack, rear jack and internal speaker.

With the third test kernel the kernel panics do not appear.
No more freeze system-config-soundcard after installing the third kernel.

Thanks all.

HDA update patch (3rd version)

You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Please do NOT transition this bugzilla state to VERIFIED until our QE team

to provide a comment indicating that this fix has been verified.

The kernel Don mentions in comment #31 does not correctly enable onboard audio
on the platform for which we requested the quirk in comment #6 of bug #473949 (which was marked as a duplicate of this bug).  I have included the quirk request again here for convenience:

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x103c, 0x170B, "HP xw*", ALC262_HP_BPC)

I can either re-open #473949 or we can just keep it as a duplicate of this one.
 Please advise.

The patch Jaroslav mentions in comment #29 does not appear to have the changes requested in comment #1 of bug #473949 (which was marked as a duplicate of this bug).  Perhaps I am overlooking the changes?

As with comment #37 above, I can either re-open #473949 or we can just keep it as a duplicate of this one.  Please advise.

John, do you really tested the kernel on mentioned hardware? These lines should cover all 0x103c/0x17xx values:

        SND_PCI_QUIRK_MASK(0x103c, 0xff00, 0x1700, "HP xw series",
                           ALC262_HP_BPC),

Fix snd_pci_quirk_lookup() function

I found the problem - the function snd_pci_quirk_lookup() was not extended to handle subdevice_mask . The patch in comment#40 address this issue.

Thanks, Jaroslav - glad you found the problem.  If possible I would prefer to wait until there is a kernel RPM with the fix.  Please advise on when that will be available.
