Sorry, this is not a new standard. It's just my personal idea. Can we

the addition of this, adding this Line Out, so that it can be similar to
hda,

simplifying the adaptation task of the core outer layer? The jack events

are relatively unified. Otherwise, for the current sound card, the

rear jack event is Speaker, which requires separate adaptation.

Could you show us alsa-info.sh output? It looks that this hardware may require a custom UCM configuration.

There are three jack events for a sound card on a desktop computer,
namely Speaker, Headphone, and Desktop Speaker. When both audio
devices are available, users cannot distinguish which audio device
is being used. Can we consider adding Line Out? similar to the HDA
sound card. This can change one of them and reduce the complexity
of the upper layer adaptation of the sound card.

Is 0x0308 something properly defined standard?
If so, we can add the entry, of course.


thanks,

Takashi
