With the latest kernel the audio output works as always, but I'm unable to record anything, neither talk via skype. With 2.6.25 everything works flawlessly; until the problem is fixed I'm going back to using it. I tried to update all alsa-* packages to their latest unstable version, i tried to recompile the kernel starting from the working .25 configuration: still the problem persists, even after running alsaconf.

Same here, (kernel 2.6.26). I ear sound in my speaker from mic, but I can't record (tried audacity). I alsa cant use my tvcard (line in is broken too). It is a real problem for because I have to use this kernel, I just finisshed to write a kernel patch for my card and I dont want to port it back.
Kernel 2.6.27 (2.6.27-gentoo-r1) show this bug, too.
Still, nothing is working. I tried vanilla-sources-2.6.27.4 to see if the bug was about genpatches, but it didn't work; I tried gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r2 without the in-kernel drivers, and I compiled alsa-driver-1.0.18, but, again, nothing.

I'll do my best, thank you.
I got it! 31 kernels and maybe 40 reboots (damned alsaconf!), but here it is. 5d5d5f43f1b835c375de9bd270cce030d16e2871 is first bad commit commit 5d5d5f43f1b835c375de9bd270cce030d16e2871 Author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Date: Tue Feb 12 12:11:36 2008 +0100 [ALSA] hda-codec - Implement auto-mic jack sensing on Samsung laptops Implemented the auto-mic jack sensing for Samsung laptops with AD1986A codec chip (model=laptop-eapd). The hardware uses pin 0x1d and 0x1f for the internal and external mics, respectively.

That's great, thanks so much! I just sent a mail upstream to prod them into action (hopefully) :)
Please run the alsa-info script on both a broken and a working kernel, and upload the 2 output files here. You can get alsa-info.sh from here: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh Run it with the "--no-upload" option. Thanks!

Here they are. I ran alsa-info.sh on kernels where ALSA was compiled as built-in, so no modules are loaded; I did the git-bisect procedure with ALSA compiled as modules, instead. I don't think this should vary the results, in case tell me and I'll rebuild both kernels. I saw in the email that Takashi Iwai asked to open a bug entry in bugzilla.kernel.org, will you do that or should I?
Yes, please go ahead and do that (and attach the 2 files). Thanks!

Sorry, I should answer your question more clearly. No need to change builtin vs modules. Please go ahead and file an upstream kernel bug and attach the files there (either set, don't need to do both).
I understood the right meaning of your message just after attaching the last file, but it was already 2 am so I postponed to today. :-) I opened the bugreport on bugzilla.kernel.org, it can be found here http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12070 The file outputs of alsa-info posted here are different from the two on bugzilla.kernel, because there are instructions not to open bugs about distro-kernels or anything with binary modules loades; so, to be sure the bug doesn't get rejected just because of this, I built two vanilla kernels and re-ran the script onto them.
hi, Does this work in 2.6.26-r3? r3 just got marked stable (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245638) and is based on 2.6.26.6 but according to the upstream bug this is not fixed until 2.26.8 which would be r4. I'm new to this but shouldn't r3 be unstable if it still has this issue?
(In reply to comment #23) > Does this work in 2.6.26-r3? r3 just got marked stable > (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245638) and is based on 2.6.26.6 but > according to the upstream bug this is not fixed until 2.26.8 which would be r4. 2.6.26-r3 includes 2.6.26.8. And on the upstream bug he is saying that the fix that Takashi posted works with 2.6.26.8, not that the 2.6.26.8 includes the fix. The next step on this bug is to locate the exact fix which Takashi made as an isolated patch, and add it to our kernel.
OK, Sorry for the mistake. Anyway, but it means that this is still open for 2.6.26-r3. Shouldn't it be marked as unstable then?
Unkeywording a stable version will cause more damage than good. The best way to proceed is to fix this bug as quickly as we can. If you'd like to help further, the "next steps" are outlined above, and please feel free to ask in #gentoo-kernel on IRC or the gentoo-kernel mailing list if you need help getting started. Thanks!
Nick Loeve found identified the patch at http://tinyurl.com/5skjh2 which we have now queued for 2.6.26 and 2.6.28, thanks!
What do you mean with "queued"? Anyway, I tried to brutally overwrite patch_analog.c in 2.6.28-rc6 with the one you linked, but compilation fails. Still, alsa-driver snapshots don't create modules that I can load successfully. I'm cloning tiwai's git tree to see if I can compile them as built-in, I'll post updates.
Personally I wouldn't worry, assuming you have a working configuration. By queued I mean it will appear in the next gentoo-sources release. I'm confident that (thanks to Takishi) we have already isolated and fixed the bug with this patch.
I hope you're right; but I just compiled 2.6.28-rc7 and it is still.
Oops! "...it is still deaf" :)
yeah, the patch hasn't made it into 2.6.28 yet upstream, but we'll be sure to take care of it in gentoo and submit for linux-stable where appropriate
Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r5 and gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r4, thanks for your help solving this
It's working, I love you guys.
