From f36938aa7440f46a0a365f1cfde5f5985af2bef3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Hebb Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 12:09:39 -0400 Subject: ALSA: hda/realtek - Remove now-unnecessary XPS 13 headphone noise fixups patch_realtek.c has historically failed to properly configure the PC Beep Hidden Register for the ALC256 codec (among others). Depending on your kernel version, symptoms of this misconfiguration can range from chassis noise, picked up by a poorly-shielded PCBEEP trace, getting amplified and played on your internal speaker and/or headphones to loud feedback, which responds to the "Headphone Mic Boost" ALSA control, getting played through your headphones. For details of the problem, see the patch in this series titled "ALSA: hda/realtek - Set principled PC Beep configuration for ALC256", which fixes the configuration. These symptoms have been most noticed on the Dell XPS 13 9350 and 9360, popular laptops that use the ALC256. As a result, several model-specific fixups have been introduced to try and fix the problem, the most egregious of which locks the "Headphone Mic Boost" control as a hack to minimize noise from a feedback loop that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Now that the underlying issue has been fixed, remove all these fixups. Remaining fixups needed by the XPS 13 are all picked up by existing pin quirks. This change should, for the XPS 13 9350/9360 - Significantly increase volume and audio quality on headphones - Eliminate headphone popping on suspend/resume - Allow "Headphone Mic Boost" to be set again, making the headphone jack fully usable as a microphone jack too.
