Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 501241
RFE: Alsa-driver update to at least 1.0.18 for F10 - WAS: Headphone doesn't mute Speakers on Dell Studio 17
Last modified: 2009-11-19 08:23:50 EST
Description of problem: Dell Studio 17 Laptop has a feature with two headphone output jacks on the side. The rear-most of the two side headphone operates simultaneous with the speakers. The front-most of the two side headphones does not work at all (ie sound never comes out of the front-most side headphone jack). With sound playing, when a headphone is plugged in the rear of the two jacks, the headphone works, but the integrated speaker sound on the laptop is not muted. But it should be muted. When the headphone is moved to the more front of the two jacks, that headphone does not work in the front jack, and also the integrated speaker sound is then muted (and hence one has NO sound). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc10.i386 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.i386 bluez-alsa-4.30-2.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.20-1.fc10.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.20-2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Plug in Headphone to the mentioned jacks. Actual results: Headphone and speaker both on or no audio at all. Expected results: Plug the headphone in and the speakers get muted. Additional info: For a test case i added a /etc/modprobe.conf to my system with one line in it: options snd_hda_intel model=dell-m6 If you boot now with the headphones plugged into the rear of the two headphone slots, the speakers are muted and sound is on the headphones. Expected behaviour. And now to the interesting part. If you unplug the headphone and replug it, there is no sound at all. Means speakers and headphone muted. You cant get it back to work as nearly except, just with a reboot. But you have to think about to plug the headphones in before the snd-hda-intel gets loaded. Takashi Iwai seems to fixed it upstream according to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446025 in November 2008. Well, looks like something is still missing in Fedora. I will post some attachments.

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.17. F10 x86_64 No wonder.. Current alsa-driver 1.0.20 F11 alsa-driver 1.0.18a F10 alsa-driver 1.0.17 Cutting edge.. *sigh* Sorry if i vent here, but a simple "i dont care" or "look at: cat /proc/asound/version" at least some response would have been nice. I'm not a Sound-pro, but what i like is things working. Thats why i spend a lot of time in IRC #fedora and help others to get things to work. I guess a RFE to get the alsa-driver a bit more in the direction cutting edge, will get the same attention. We will see. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. 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 prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
