I just tested with the latest custom kernel shared here and with this updated pulseaudio package and can confirm speakers and headphones have separate volume now.
Thanks a lot again, I guess all of the major 3 initially mentioned and 1 extra issues are solved now and hope the 3 ucm realted very minor issues will be refined in future. So, now only thing remaining is to get these fixes in official ubuntu kernel and pulseaudio package I guess, also I am not sure if it's safe to keep using the custom kernel/pulseaudio driver or wait till it arrives officially and meanwhile keep using temp fix for now. -- 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/1930188 Title: Acer Aspire 5 sound driver issues Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, There seems to be lots of issues in sound driver for Acer Aspire A515-56-57XR with ALC255. I will list all of them below and what I have tried so far. 1. Headphones appears always plugged in even if they are physically not 2. When actually plugging in headset/earphones it does not auto switch from speakers/internal mic to headphones/headset microphone automatically and vice versa, have to manually switch everytime. 3. External headset/earphones microphone won't work at all After, logs of trial and error I have found a temporary fix. This seems to use legacy intel drivers which solves all 3 issues mentioned above but the internal/dmic mic is completely gone (which seems intentional when using this). Both depreciated dmic_detect and dsp_driver works, I have been using dsp_driver for now as I need external microphone at any cost. End of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf # Headset mic fix options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 / options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1 options snd-hda-intel model=alc255-acer In another thread similar to this I got some support and at least fixed the external microphone without using the alsa-base.conf change in custom modified kernel. I will attach it here. Now, hoping to fix other issues as well slowly like making headphones unplugged when physically removing as well as auto switching like the legacy driver one.
