Ok, been diving a bit deeper, and I have another question. It seems you have two identical mic jacks at pin 0x18 and pin 0x19. Is this really true? If not, could you try disable one of them and see if this also makes your speaker work? (Try both to figure out which one is right and which one is wrong.)
The reason for this is the location. When the location is overridden (from "Right" to "Left"), not all jacks are considered to be next to each other. When all jacks are between each other, the driver tries to add an alternative mode to use HP jack + the two mic jacks as some kind of 5.1 surround (optionally). Exactly why this causes things to fail is beyond what I've figured out yet. But if we disable one mic jack that actually does not exist, we're doing something right, and speaker just might start to work as a fortunate side effect :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960124 Title: [VPCZ13C5E, Realtek ALC889, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/960124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
