you need to find out whether the problem is fixed by using early patching to disable trigger sense
Early Patching ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set, you can pass a "patch" as a firmware file for modifying the HD-audio setup before initializing the codec. This can work basically like the reconfiguration via sysfs in the above, but it does it before the first codec configuration. A patch file is a plain text file which looks like below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [codec] 0x12345678 0xabcd1234 2 [hint] trigger_sense=0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The file needs to have a line `[codec]`. The next line should contain three numbers indicating the codec vendor-id (0x12345678 in the example), the codec subsystem-id (0xabcd1234) and the address (2) of the codec. The rest patch entries are applied to this specified codec until another codec entry is given. Passing 0 or a negative number to the first or the second value will make the check of the corresponding field be skipped. It'll be useful for really broken devices that don't initialize SSID properly. The hd-audio driver reads the file via request_firmware(). Thus, a patch file has to be located on the appropriate firmware path, typically, /lib/firmware. For example, when you pass the option `patch=hda-init.fw`, the file /lib/firmware/hda-init.fw must be present. The patch module option is specific to each card instance, and you need to give one file name for each instance, separated by commas. For example, if you have two cards, one for an on-board analog and one for an HDMI video board, you may pass patch option like below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ options snd-hda-intel patch=on-board-patch,hdmi-patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291616 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, playback] Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1291616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
