[opensuse-factory] Can we get RealTek ALC280 sound support in Tumbleweed Kernel?
Hello All:
I have a new Toshiba P855-S5200=2C and although Windows 7 creates sound on
the internal speakers, OpenSuse 12.1 and Tumbleweed (which I was forced to by
bug 769678) are silent. I suspect this is because the hardware's design is new
and additional kernel support is required. For full disclosure I also opened an
OpenSuse 12.1 ticket for this at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D769991.
Regarding the symptoms I see, my system acts like the sound device is
detected but no sound (speakers or headphones) is generated. My laptop has
internal speakers, microphone and headphone jacks and HDMI. I have not tried HDMI.
I noticed some discussion about a patch that sounds like it might address
this issue at:http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg18206.html
If the maintainers agree that this is a likely fix=2C could we please try it?
I'm not sure how to build and deploy a kernel in OpenSUSE, but I would be
willing to test the fix in the Tumbleweed version of the kernel.
My current kernel is 3.4.3-30-desktop.
The uname -a kernel info and the /proc and lscpi information about
the device are as follows:
linux-2kt2:~ # uname -a
Linux linux-2kt2.site 3.4.3-30-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 18 11:52:36 UTC 2012 (41613b0) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

For kernel issues and Tumbleweed, please ask on the opensuse-kernel mailing list, I just take the stable kernel package and add it to Tumbleweed, there is no special "tumbleweed" kernel package (same goes for all other packages in Tumbleweed.) The kernel developers on that list should be able to help you out. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If it's about that component, it'll be likely me ;) As mentioned in bugzilla, ALC280 support was recently merged to the upstream, and Greg already took it to 3.4 stable tree. Thus it should be available soon later on Tumbleweed and 12.2. If anything still doesn't work with that update, please reopen the bug, but attach alsa-info.sh output with the updated kernel. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hi All: Thanks all for your help and especially Greg and Takashi who advised me that a fix may be in the works. I recently tried the KDE Live version of OpenSuse 12.2 RC x86-64 which refused to configure the ALC280 based sound. Since it differed from the earlier behavior instead of reopening the existing bug I opened the new bug report Bug 71305 see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D771305 for details I apologize if I broke protocol let me know and we can consolidate them if I got it wrong.
