Description Josh Ernzen 2013-04-23 19:15:13 UTC
Plays quietly on right channel (almost sounds like it's underwater). Almost no sound out of left. Need to mute right channel to barely hear the left channel.

Alsa driver in use: snd_hda_intel

Computer being used: Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch late 2011 model, 8,1. Core i5 Dual Core with H/T. 8 GB RAM. Intel video, i915.

Please do not manually fill in any advanced bug fields or CC arch teams, thanks.
Comment 3 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2013-04-24 23:41:32 UTC
Last working kernel version?
Comment 4 Josh Ernzen 2013-04-25 14:30:41 UTC
3.7.10-r1 of the Gentoo sources.
Comment 5 Josh Ernzen 2013-04-30 17:44:46 UTC
Sound is fully functional under the 3.9 gentoo sources.
Comment 6 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-04-30 18:28:47 UTC
Sounds good, I'll look into the commit log and see whether we can backport this.

Found this:

commit 6d3073e124e1a6138b929479301d3a7ecde00f27
Author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
Date:   Fri Mar 15 14:23:32 2013 +0100

    ALSA: hda - Fix missing EAPD/GPIO setup for Cirrus codecs
    
    During the transition to the generic parser, the hook to the codec
    specific automute function was forgotten.  This resulted in the silent
    output on some MacBooks.

We can't be sure that this is what you describe though, since you are talking about the right channel only. Could you try to undo the changes in 3.9 or apply the changes to a 3.8 kernel?

Comment 9 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-05-05 08:05:24 UTC
They moved this to the header with http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=352f7f914 and apparently that didn't make it into the 3.8 branch and is only available in the 3.9 branch; therefore, I think we can't backport this. Thanks for trying.
