      ALSA: hda - Acer Inspire 6530G model for Realtek ALC888 · d2fd4b09
      Tony Vroon authored 
      The selected 4930G model seemed to keep the subwoofer 'tuba'
function from operating correctly. Removing the existing PCI
ID match made this work again, but it was mapped to 'Side'
instead of to LFE as one would expect.
This attempts to enable all functionality and keep the amount
of available mixer sliders low. Any slider that had no audible
effect on the output audio has been removed, and as such EAPD
is not currently enabled.

      Enable all three capture channels, including the missing nid 7 which is
the only one capable of capturing DMIC input

Enable Headphone amp for the HP jack. This causes a volume boost for
headphones, but does not cause any noticeable effect for light loads
like other amps, so there is no need to make it configurable.

Add Input Mix capture mux setting to capture the output of the playback
input mux (that is, what goes out the speakers except for PCM)

Hack another coef register because the stereo DMIC for some reason
produces a nonstandard sum/difference signal. I found a bit to make it
just use the sum signal for both channels, which makes it behave like a
standard mono microphone. The stereo is useless anyway (they're 1cm apart).

Tested working: Three capture channels, mic in, line in, DMIC.

Tested not working: CD. Not sure why, might be unconnected in the actual
hardware or a CD drive issue.

Also looked at SPDIF. It appears to work (emitter lights up inside the
HP out jack) but I lack a proper miniTOSLINK cable to test it.

      ALSA: hda - Acer Aspire 8930G support · 3b315d70

      Short story: this laptop has 5.1 built-in speakers which you *really*
want to use (the not-so-"sub" woofer is what makes the audio above
average for a laptop), so 6-channel support is important (plus a decent
asound.conf to upmix stereo). It also has the 3 typical jacks that ought
to have a selectable mode. And it's based on ALC889, which sucks.

Rationale/explanations:

The const_channel_count stuff was added because, for a laptop like this,
you always have 6 channels available (internal speakers) but still need
to set the mode for the 3 external jacks. Therefore, the device always
needs to be in 6-channel mode but there still needs to be a mixer
control for the jack mode. You could use line/mic-in at the same time as
the 6 internal speakers, for example. You might be tempted to make it
even smarter by dynamically switching the max channel count when
headphones are plugged in (therefore muting the internal speakers and
reducing the physical channel count to the jack channel mode), but as a
user I consider this to be harmful because I want the audio to blow up
to 6 channels / upmixed as soon as I unplug the headphones, and having
opened the device while in 2-channel mode would prevent this from
working (and always making 6-channel mode available doesn't do any harm).

The hardware needs EAPD turned on and the DACs routed to the internal
speaker pins, so the patch adds those verbs.

The ALC889 CLFE and subsequent (side/aux, here unused) DACs do NOT work
by default, at least here. I wasted much time trying to talk to
Realtek/pshou about this, but they just kept sending me useless updates
to patch_realtek.c that did nothing relevant. In the end I gave up and
brute forced the issue by trying to flip every bit in the proprietary
coefficient registers, and eventually found the two magic registers that
need to be cleared to enable all DACs. I have only heard Acer users
complain, but that might be because ALC889 is pretty new and using 5.1
(and noticing the missing center/lfe channels) might not be that common.
If this is a generalized issue with all ALC889 systems then those verbs
should probably be moved to a common verb array.

The internal mic is untested and probably doesn't work.

These settings will probably work for other Acer Gemstone laptops with
the same 5.1 speaker config. When identified, those should be added to
the PCI subsystem ID list.
