Greetings, I want to report a missing speaker quirk for the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk1xxx. Right now, the internal audio sounds very thin and tinny on Linux. == Hardware Info == Laptop: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk1xxx Codec: Realtek ALC285 Subsystem ID: 103c:8742 == The Issue == By default, dmesg shows line_outs=1 and only uses pin 0x14. When looking at the raw codec dump, Node 0x17 (the internal bass/mid speakers) is marked as disabled or disconnected by the default factory firmware: ------------------------------------- Node 0x17 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058d: Stereo Amp-Out Pin Default 0x411111f0: [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear ------------------------------------- Because of this 0x411111f0 value, the driver leaves the internal woofers completely turned off. == The Fix == I fixed this by creating a manual firmware patch in hda-jack-retask.fw to force Node 0x17 to act as an internal speaker: ------------------------------------- [codec] 0x808606c8 0x103c8742 0 [pincfg] 0x14 0x90170110 0x17 0x90170115 ------------------------------------- After doing this, dmesg updates to line_outs=2 (0x14/0x17/0x0/0x0/0x0) type:speaker. Both the tweeters and woofers fire together, and the laptop audio finally sounds full and normal. I have attached the original, clean codec dump file (hp_pavilion_alc285_codec.txt) from /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 before any overrides were applied. Hopefully, a maintainer can add this subsystem ID (103c:8742) and the pin table fix into sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c so it works out of the box for everyone in the next kernel releases. Note: I am just a user, not a software engineer or a native English speaker. I used an AI tools to help me read my terminal logs, understand the codec dump, and find the correct pin values to fix my laptop audio. I am sharing these verified hardware details so the developers can easily implement the patch. -- Best Regards, MSH
