[Bug 1425221] Re: [OptiPlex 9020, Realtek ALC280, Green Line Out, Rear] tinny sound

 

can you use hda-analyzer to increase the volume sliders at node 0x02 ?

maximum should be 0x57 but your values only at 0x24

Control: name="PCM Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
     ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0
   Device: name="ALC280 Analog", type="Audio", device=0
   Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x57, nsteps=0x57, stepsize=0x02, mute=0
   Amp-Out vals: [0x24 0x24]

Title:
  [OptiPlex 9020, Realtek ALC280, Green Line Out, Rear] tinny sound

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Sound equalization is normal when using jack in front of computer, but
  is "tinny" (i.e., low/nonexistent bass and midtones) when using rear
  output jack  with simple two channel headphones.

  Jack sense is working correctly because the internal speaker cuts out
  when a cable is plugged into the rear jack (or front jack, for that
  matter).

  Note Dell's website says this computer has a Realtek ALC3220, as
  opposed to the ALC280 which is detected by linux.  This is a clean
  install of 14.04, so I unfortunately I can't boot into Windows to
  observe its behavior.
