ALSA: hda - Add a fixup for Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd

2015-12-15T14:11:59+00:00

Apply the same fixup for Thinkpad with dock to Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd,
too.  This reduces the annoying loud cracking noise problem, as well
as the support of missing docking port.

ALSA: hda - Set codec to D3 at reboot/shutdown on Thinkpads

2015-12-15T14:11:58+00:00

Lenovo Thinkpads with Realtek codecs may still have some loud
crackling noises at reboot/shutdown even though a few previous fixes
have been applied.  It's because the previous fix (disabling the
default shutup callback) takes effect only at transition of the codec
power state.  Meanwhile, at reboot or shutdown, we don't take down the
codec power as default, thus it triggers the same problem unless the
codec is powered down casually by runtime PM.

This patch tries to address the issue.  It gives two things:
- implement the separate reboot_notify hook to struct alc_spec, and
  call it optionally if defined.
- turn off the codec to D3 for Thinkpad models via this new callback

ALSA: hda - Apply click noise workaround for Thinkpads generically

2015-12-15T14:06:14+00:00

It seems that a workaround for Thinkpad T440s crackling noise can be
applied generically to all Thinkpad models: namely, disabling the
default alc269 shutup callback.  This patch moves it to the existing
alc_fixup_tpt440_dock() while also replacing the rest code with
another existing alc_fixup_disable_aamix().  It resulted in a good
code reduction.

ALSA: usb-audio: Add sample rate inquiry quirk for AudioQuest DragonFly

2015-12-14T09:13:17+00:00

Avoid getting sample rate on AudioQuest DragonFly as it is unsupported
and causes noisy "cannot get freq at ep 0x1" messages when playback
starts.

ALSA: usb-audio: Add a more accurate volume quirk for AudioQuest DragonFly

2015-12-14T09:13:17+00:00

AudioQuest DragonFly DAC reports a volume control range of 0..50
(0x0000..0x0032) which in USB Audio means a range of 0 .. 0.2dB, which
is obviously incorrect and would cause software using the dB information
in e.g. volume sliders to have a massive volume difference in 100..102%
range.

Commit 2d1cb7f658fb ("ALSA: usb-audio: add dB range mapping for some
devices") added a dB range mapping for it with range 0..50 dB.

However, the actual volume mapping seems to be neither linear volume nor
linear dB scale, but instead quite close to the cubic mapping e.g.
alsamixer uses, with a range of approx. -53...0 dB.

Replace the previous quirk with a custom dB mapping based on some basic
output measurements, using a 10-item range TLV (which will still fit in
alsa-lib MAX_TLV_RANGE_SIZE).

Tested on AudioQuest DragonFly HW v1.2. The quirk is only applied if the
range is 0..50, so if this gets fixed/changed in later HW revisions it
will no longer be applied.

v2: incorporated Takashi Iwai's suggestion for the quirk application
method

ALSA: hda/ca0132 - quirk for Alienware 17 2015

2015-12-09T16:06:07+00:00

The Alienware 17 (2015) has the same card and pin configuration of the
Alienware 15, so the same quirks must be applied.

ALSA: hda - Fix noise problems on Thinkpad T440s

2015-12-09T14:31:21+00:00

Lenovo Thinkpad T440s suffers from constant background noises, and it
seems to be a generic hardware issue on this model:
  https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/T440s-speaker-noise/td-p/1339883

As the noise comes from the analog loopback path, disabling the path
is the easy workaround.

Also, the machine gives significant cracking noises at PM suspend.  A
workaround found by trial-and-error is to disable the shutup callback
currently used for ALC269-variant.

This patch addresses these noise issues by introducing a new fixup
chain.  Although the same workaround might be applicable to other
Thinkpad models, it's applied only to T440s (17aa:220c) in this patch,
so far, just to be safe (you chicken!).  As a compromise, a new model
option string "tp440" is provided now, though, so that owners of other
Thinkpad models can test it more easily.

ALSA: hda - Fixing speaker noise on the two latest thinkpad models

2015-12-08T06:28:14+00:00

We have two latest thinkpad laptop models which are all based on the
Intel skylake platforms, and all of them have the codec alc293 on
them. When the machines boot to the desktop, an greeting dialogue
shows up with the notification sound. But on these two models, there
is noise with the notification sound. We have 3 SKUs for each of
the models, all of them have this problem.

So far, this problem is only specific to these two thinkpad models,
we did not find this problem on the old thinkpad models with the
codec alc293 or alc292.

A workaround for this problem is disabling the aamix.
