[PATCH] ALSA: hda/cs8409: Fix for Dell Cirrus audio jack detect
From: Steven 'Steve' Kendall
Date: Mon Jul 13 2026 - 17:21:59 EST
On some models like the Dell Inspiron 15 3520, jack
detection does not work. This patch switches to polling
and more regularly queries the lower values rather
than cached values for the headphone and mic jacks.
It also includes some logic to prevent the polling
while headphones are already plugged so no
audible "tick" can be heard.

This patch switches to a polling method for a
specific Dell machine (Inspiron 15 3520). This fixes
jack detection for this model. It's possible the gate
on manufacturer and model are unnecessary and this problem
is common to a wider set of machines, but I've only tested
on one machine thus far. I left the other logic ungated
as it seemed likely the cache was not providing up-to-date
information broadly. But I'm open to gating more or less
of the content or changing the approach entirely.
