[Alsa-user] Issues with the EVOC P775TM1-R's audio

[Dennis M. <dm...@gm...>]

Hello there,

I have a P775TM1-R with the following issues:

I cannot get the internal sub-woofer to work , even with hdajackretask.

Here are the sound card details:

aplay -l

For the sound card's pin configs out of the box:

cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/hwC0D0/init_pin_configs

0x11 0x4004d000
0x12 0x90a60150
0x14 0x90170110
0x15 0x411111f0
0x16 0x411111f0
0x17 0x01011020
0x18 0x01a11040
0x19 0x411111f0
0x1a 0x0181104f
0x1b 0x411111f0

0x1d 0x40350d29
0x1e 0x01441130
0x1f 0x411111f0


And with hdajacksensetest:

i. hdajacksensetest
Pin 0x17 (Black Line Out, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x18 (Black Mic, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x1a (Black Line In, Rear side): present = No

ii. hdajacksensetest -a
Pin 0x11 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x12 (Internal Mic): present = No
Pin 0x14 (Internal Speaker): present = No
Pin 0x15 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x16 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x17 (Black Line Out, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x18 (Black Mic, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x19 (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1a (Black Line In, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x1b (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1c (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1d (Not connected): present = No
Pin 0x1e (Black SPDIF Out, Rear side): present = No
Pin 0x1f (Not connected): present = No

And from the alsa-info.sh script:

The same also applies to the amplified headset jack on the side, which
according to the manufacturer, is wired up via the ESS Sabre DAC.
A patch by Jeremy Soller
https://www.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2017-February/117509.html
does indeed fix the issue, but was rejected due to quality issues.
If the same can be replicated via hdajackretask, that would be
awesome. So far I'm stuck.

Warm regards,

Dennis.
