FIXED: Thinkpad X1 Yoga 2019: KDE: volume control front speakers only

Hey there,

I bought an Thinkpad X1 Yoga 2019 and almost everything (touchscreen, touchpad, red mouse knob, camera) works fine. (except fingerprint reader and nfc, but who uses that; and microphone and screen brightness goes to full for <1s after waking up from sleep.)

One problem which I have with KDE/phonon is that the volume control only controls the front speakers, but not the rear speakers. Only if the volume is set to 0, also the rear speakers' volume change to 0. With alsamixer, rear and front show up as two different Master devices.

I tried to use a different phonon backend, but it didn't help.

Maybe one can help me here, since I'm out of ideas.

Pure ALSA or pulse only? What are your outputs for 

aplay -lL

Re: FIXED: Thinkpad X1 Yoga 2019: KDE: volume control front speakers only

Oh, I found the corresponding forum entries on lenvo forum and here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Ubuntu/Gui … -p/4489823 and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=249900

The sof setup doesn't work with plain linux package, because sof was disabled if I understand it correctly.

I fixed the sound issue with adding before "[Element PCM]" in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common

[Element Master]
switch = mute
volume = ignore
