Lenovo G560 autoswitch headphone + mic not working

@wompy
         I also need (attached as file to bug) the output of /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

Ok..i havent found a codec#0-file in the card0-folder, so this is the file called codec#1. I will also upload the files from the card1-folder.

this is the file codex#0 from the card1-folder...

and for the case another codex-file is needed, here is the last one. Thanks for your help

@wompy
          Can you install the deb attached .. make sure to uninstall the other dkms deb from the other bug you had installed. Then reboot and let me know if things work?

@Jerone headphone works. External and internal Mics do not work. sorry;)

@wompy
         Ok need to do a little more work. Will have something posted hopefully today.

@wompy
              Sorry for the delay. Been traveling. Can you check that the micrphones are not muted. After looking over the codec files .. the first package I created *should* have worked. I don't (or say hope) that lenovo didn't rewire the G series.

              Let me know. Check the sound applet and also alsamixer (from the command line). If it is the case then have to spin some experiement packages for you to try till can get right how they did it.

              Also on your system are the microphones working under Windows (need to make sure your hardware isn't having issues).

@Jerone

Ok..the windows-test succeeded with internal+external mic.
I checked every setting in the sound applet and the alsamixer (also with and without sudo). I didn't work.
I hear also a loud beep when i shutdown ubuntu and i think it correlates to your patch. In the alsa-mixer is a setting for the beep but even it is muted, i hear the beep during the shutdown-process.

Thanks for your engagement.

Hi,

is there still someone working on this issue? Do you need some more information?

@wompy
          Sorry. I got very busy. But looking to try and get something out today that you can test.

@wompy
                   Thanks for the patience. Try this new package. It turns out I messed up on the first package I gave you. Make sure it's uninstalled & reboot before installing this one. Basically I put a quirk for the wrong controller. This *should* fix the microphone. Let me know as soon as you can.

@Jerone

Thanks for your help again. The internal mic works, but the quality is not that good, so i would like to use the external mic. I'm not able to choose which mic to use in the audio-settings and they do not record simultaneously, if this fact is important.

@wompy
          It auto selects. So if you have mic plugged into the jack then it will use that and not the internal mic. Otherwise it will use the internal mic. It's a feature of the card and how the conexant cards work.

         The best thing to do is try playing with the audio settings. Though internal mics a lot of the time can have bad positioning and pic up a lot of fan noise from the computer.

         But does look as though things are working. I'll submit a fix upstream.

@wompy
                    Make sure to play with the input volume. You can sometimes have it to high or to low also.

Fix submitted upstream can be found here:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2010-July/029511.html

@Jerone

Sorry, but I'm shure, that the mic does not change from internal to external, when i plug the jack in. The internal mic is used in both cases.

@wompy
        This is odd. Your Lenovo has the same setup as the rest ... which is what makes this odd. I'll look it over. May need another HDA VERB to fix this then.

@wompy
               Looking over the codec .. are you sure it's not switching to the headset? It look identical to other Lenovo systems and they work...can you check one more time?

When i try to reinstall the package, i get this problem:

i dont know whats wrong. Did i remove some dependency? Maybe i didn't see the error, when i installed the package for the first time, because synaptic says it is correctly installed. Sorry, if this whole problem is based on any mistake by me. I'm thankfull that you're helping me.

@womy
          First remove the package completely ... reboot. You'll need the kernel headers for the kernel you have installed (this is usually there by default). Then try a reinstall.

@wompy
            Also you might have been caught between updates. Make sure before you try to get all the latest updates .. there have been a lot rolling in the last few days.

@Jerome
I made all outstanding updates,removed the package completly, made two clean reboots and get the same error as above. But there has been a kernel-update from 2.6.32-23 to -24. I've got the headers installed.

Hi all,

I also purchased Lenovo G560, and my auto switch head phone is not working. I even installed alsa-intel-hda-conexant-test-dkms_1.0.23.git20100718_all.deb and still the issue remains as it is.

Please help as it is a big problem for me.
If I could not get a solution for this problem soon, i'll have to move to some other OS (Which I really don't want to do).

@womy @anulanghya

   I actually messed up that package. Attached is a new one to try.

@womy @anulanghya
            Actually this package will not fix the issue. But I will look more into this issue this week.

@womy @anulanghya

        Hey can you guys try out this package. Let me know asap if fixes the problem.

        The issue looks like Lenovo wired this port to a different port we were not listening to the mic event on. Other Lenovos listen on a different port for the mic event.

         Make sure before installing this one to remove the other package from your system and reboot. Then when this one is installed reboot and you should see it fix .. *crossing fingers*

@Jerone

I'm sorry, mic doesn't work. The Headphone-Jack changes automatically, but external and internal mic are muted. Is Lenovo afraid you haven't got enough work to do...?

@wompy
          Hmm .. so I found something I missed. I'll need to create a new patch if this one works .. try out this package:

@Jerone
No, nothing changed since the last .deb. mic doesn't work.

@wompy
      Thanks for keeping trying these out, ok this confirms they are doing something a bit different with the gseries .. let me do a little bit more research and come up with a different package.

Same problem here.

I have the same problem..

I have the same problem

Is anybody working on this bug?

I'm just in the same situation.
Lenovo G560, Ubuntu 10.10.
External Microphone working, internal no.
Any solution?
Thanks,

my lenovo g560 also suffers from this. ubuntu 10.10. added "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to make the speakers switch off when headphones are plugged in, which worked, however now my internal mic doesn't work.

if i can post anything from my conf to help, let me know.

thanks

i just managed to get my internal mic to work, along with my headphone jack. i installed hda_analyzer (see http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer) and used it to tweak the following setting:

"Node[0x14] AUD_IN", in the "Connection List" change to "Audio Selector [0x18]", and I maxed all the "Input Amplifier" sliders.

See here for a screen shot: http://imgur.com/BvUsK

i still have "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

hopefully this can help others too.

I've just fixed this problem with following way;

1. I installed Alsa Driver Modules,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)

2. Edit alsa-base.conf and add "options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad" to the
end of options snd** lines (it doesn't matter, just paste where you want),

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
add "options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad"
save and close

Then your laptop needs to be restarted to effect this change. Now, when I
switched to headphone, I don't hear sound on laptop and headphone
simultaneously.

@Kayno
I followed your suggestions about hda analyzer. I set all the things as you showed on the imagine you attached in, but unfortunately the mic is still not working.
Don't know how to proceed...
Thanks,
Luc.

this fix still works for me every time, but it doesn't save and I have to do it after every reboot. using the diff button on hda_analyzer, this is all that is changing:

@Luc - id suggest tweaking all the AUD_IN settings and see what happens. have the sound preferences window in ubuntu open on the audio tab, and talk as you tweak - if it starts working you will see "input level" register your talking

Thank you Kayno.
Now the internal mic is working. We need just to find the way to make it permanent.
Right?

Luc.

I have emailed the alsa-devel mailing list with the hda_analyzer diff and and the output of alsa-info.sh. not sure what they will do, but the hda_analyzer tool's about button said to do that.

for reference, the email i sent to the alsa-devel mailing list: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2010-December/034895.html

@kayno
I've read the reply to your inquiry on the alsa-devel mailing list and didn't understand what did they mean.
Any hint?
Cheers,
Luc.

Another Ubuntu/Mint Lenovo 560 owner/user with the same problem
reading @kayno and alsa-dev response tried adjusting the parameters with hd-analyser.
Even using the screenshot from post #41 I have not achieved success.
I notice in my display there is no "audio stream 1" under "converter"
Mine shows "audio stream 0"
I have tried messing with converter settings.
I do have the "options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf"
under /etc/pulse
 default-sample-format = s16le
 default-sample-rate = 48000
 default-sample-channels = 6
 #default-channel-map = front-left,front-right

Here's hoping !?

WHB

As of 12/30/10 with Ubuntu Natty Daily updated
todays hd-analyze (12/30/10)
wget -O run.py http://www.alsa-project.org/hda-analyzer.py
python run.py

Using the screen-shot as reference from Kayno's post #41
http://imgur.com/BvUsK

The internal mic now works ! :o)

Great work by the Alsa folks and Kayno
As to whether it "sticks" after reboot?
For me its less of an issue now that the major problem is at least addressed
I did notice a difference in the hd-analyze layout this time, a change in appearance from yesterday.
So "someones" been busy!

Sorry, I got so excited I posted without checking the reboot issue :0/

WHB

Responding to my own post :

Yes I still need to reactivate hd-analyzer each reboot.
Not a show-stopper.

One thing that persists is the difference in working shows; "audio stream 1"
and non-working; shows "audio stream 0"
(assuming this is just stating the obvious)

 As a reduct with lspci
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

Once again good work to those unsung open source heroes.

WHB

looks like this has been fixed in newer versions of alsa - i downloaded this version: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-20101221.tar.gz and compiled and installed (./configure; make; make install) and now my mic works all the time, even after a reboot. i think the relevant fix is in the file alsa-driver/sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c:

        /* Node 14 connections: 0x17 0x18 0x23 0x24 0x27 */
        {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE, AMP_IN_UNMUTE(0) | 0x50},
        {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE, AMP_IN_MUTE(1)},
        {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE, AMP_IN_UNMUTE(2) | 0x50},
        {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE, AMP_IN_MUTE(3)},
        {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE, AMP_IN_MUTE(4)},
        {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_CONNECT_SEL, 2}, /* default to internal mic */

taking a look at a diff with the older version of alsa, you can see the AC_VERB_SET_CONNECT_SEL changed from 1 to 2:

2822c2944
< {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_CONNECT_SEL, 1}, /* default to internal mic */
---
> {0x14, AC_VERB_SET_CONNECT_SEL, 2}, /* default to internal mic */

if you dont want to go down that path, consider installing snd-hda-tools (add repos "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/diwic/ppa/ubuntu lucid main" and "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/diwic/ppa/ubuntu lucid main") and then use hda-verb to change the settings previously changed using hda-analyzer. you will need to figure out the options for hda-verb, i worked out how to change the audio selector:

$ sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D1 0x14 SET_CONNECT_SEL 0

see the following ubuntu post for ideas on setting up a script to automate hda-verb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9826074&postcount=121

id go with installing the newer version of alsa though...

There are two demux (input source selector) , The first one in [Audio Input] node 0x14 and the second one in node 0x17

There are three [audio input] 0x14, 0x15 ,0x16 and another selector 0x18

you will need to implement input source control which allow you to select any input sources

On archlinux, kernel 2.6.36 with the latest compiled alsa-drivers and even with hda-analyzer setting Node 0x14 to max and switching to selector 0x18 still cant get internal mic working. This is my alsa-info : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0f484d7fe11baf2c59a218db83b3b1f13f46d98a . Any suggestions ?
