Yazen, it isn't quite that straightforward unfortunately. For certain controller/codec, using the "wrong" model quirk combinations (due to hw bugs) will lock the machine, which essentially kills this sort of automation. (I tried such an approach in 2006.)
I'm a bit wary of the model quirk mentioned above because it depends on a working bios (which tends to be more rare than I care to admit for HDA) and also sets the wrong mic pin. If model=6stack-dell does indeed result in working playback *and* capture for your machine, we'll also need lspci -nv from Yazen. ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel T Chen (crimsun) ** Summary changed: - HDA ATI SB Realtek ALC889 - does not mute when headphone plugged in front + ALC889A 0x1458a102 probably requires model=6stack-dell quirk -- ALC889A 0x1458a102 probably requires model=6stack-dell quirk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
