[PATCH] ALSA: hda/conexant: Fix swapped speaker/headphone outputs on Huawei MateBook 16s

From: Xie Youtian

Date: Sat Oct 24 2026 - 14:41:32 EST


On the Huawei MateBook 16s (2023) with a Conexant SN6140 codec (codec
SSID 0x19e5:0x3291), the speaker amplifier and the headphone jack are
both fed from the analog output line of pin 0x16: the jack through a
tap that needs GPIO1 enabled and driven low, and the speaker amp
switched by the EAPD of pin 0x17 - none of which matches the BIOS pin
config. The generic parser therefore routes audio to the wrong
physical output and never powers the jack:

* headphones plugged: the headphone path (DAC 0x10 -> pin 0x16)
drives the speakers while the jack stays silent
* headphones unplugged: the speaker path (DAC 0x11 -> pin 0x17) feeds
no transducer at all and the machine stays silent

Route the shared line to whichever DAC the parser leaves unmuted for
the current jack state, keep the jack tap open, and gate the speaker
amp through EAPD. The verbs are applied from a private jack callback
(the generic unsol->automute path never fires on this machine while a
stream keeps the codec awake) with a debounced presence sample, and a
delayed recheck re-applies everything from a settled sample, since any
reader of the pin sense can see stale data for a short while after a
codec power transition. The 600 ms recheck delay matches the factory
Windows driver's plug-detection restart window.

The factory Windows driver groups codec SSIDs 0x19e5:0x3291 through
0x3294 into a single audio configuration, so the siblings very likely
share this wiring; only 0x3291 could be tested.

Tested on the machine: headphone/speaker switching in both directions,
during playback, over the bare PCM path and through PipeWire, and
across suspend/resume.

Problem detection and the verb-level hardware experiments were
performed with the help of an AI coding assistant, with all audible
verification done by ear on the actual hardware by the submitter; the
fix was drafted by the assistant and then reviewed, understood,
adjusted and tested by the submitter.
