Hui Wang, Apologies for the slow reply.
Do you mean that you also have quiet sound after the boot? Today I upgraded to 4.19.12, and the results seem the same. I'm running Funtoo Linux with "gentoo-sources" kernel, HDA and the Realtek codec as modules and plain ALSA with no daemons. I tried to compile them into the main kernel image, but the results were the same, except that the LEDs didn't work. Here are sone more details: The noise level I hear does not change with the playback volume. It's stronger when I play something (e.g., with mplayer) or touch the touchpad. Without the 0x12 line, alsamixer shows heasphone and speaker controls at 100%, and "alsactl store" has {Headphone,Speaker} Playback {Volume,Switch}. Under the standard kernel (with your patch), the aforementioned controls in alsamixer show up as "00" in a box, and alsactl has only "Line Out Playback Volume" (and the two Switches). Is it possible that "line out" is treated differently from "headphone" by the hardware, or is it just a name? With the standard kernel, the output of "alsactl store" is identical whether the sound is in the "too quiet" state or in the "noisy headphone" state. Sometimes after I warm-reboot from a standard kernel to a kernel without the 0x12 line, I hear clicks when muting and unmuting the output, or noise, but they disappear after I play something. I put my kernel config and alsactl store output under http://www.vygo.net/hda/ but I don't know if it aids debugging in any way. Do you think it may help if I try your kernel config? Thank you for your efforts and, if appropriate, merry Christmas. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805079 Title: click/pop noise in the headphone on several lenovo laptops Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Lenovo told us that some linux uers reported headphone noise on Lenovo's website. After investigating, we found those Lenovo laptop mdoels all have the codec of alc285, and we can reproduce the noise problem too. [Fix] Don't use the DAC of headphone, let headphone share the DAC with speaker, the noise disappears. [Test Case] After applying this patch, we tested on Lenovo P52, P72, X1 carbon and X1 Yoda2, no noise anymore [Regression Potential] Low. This patch only apply to several lenovo machines, and after applying this patch, both speaker and headphone still work very well.
