Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

I have just done a fresh install on a Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 with the following configuration:

• Kernel: 5.8.14-arch1-1

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H

• GPU:Integrated RX Vega 7

The laptop is running fine using Windows including all audio input/outputs. However, when I plug in any headphone into the combo jack under Linux, I hear significant coil whine-like static while the microphone on the headset is not detected at all. I tried various combinations of

options snd_hda_intel model=[MODEL]

including "auto", "headset-mic" and "dell-headset-multi" as well as any options mentioning the ALC256 codec as was suggested by the wiki and here on this forum. However, none of them showed any improvement. I noticed this possible related thread on a Huawei Matebook D 2020, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U which is another CPU generation but the owner did not report any static and the thread got no updates. I tried on linux-mainline-5.9-1 and noticed that the "acp" listings for card 2 are gone, but with the same results regarding static and headphone mic detection.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

Thank you for the swift reply. The above was with

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi

set in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf as the only adjustment regarding modules. I can post again without the line if that helps. See below for the output of amixer -c1.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

Got a brand new Matebook AMD 2020 (the small one, with a AMD Ryzen 5 4600H) which has the same issue.

I've still kept my Windows partition until this issue is fixed or at least has a workaround.

On my Windows partition, I've dug into the registry and found that maybe the pins are wrongly announced by the BIOS.

Based on https://www.reaper-x.com/2012/02/13/how … cks-ports/

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001\Settings\Drv8981_DevType_0256_SS1e833e33]
"Pin12"=hex:01,00,00,00
"Pin13"=hex:01,00,00,00
"Pin21"=hex:22,00,00,00
"Pin19"=hex:30,00,00,00

With the following meaning for the values:

"00 00 00 00" = Line-in
"01 00 00 00" = Mic-in
"02 00 00 00" = Headphones
“03 00 00 00″ = Front speakers 2nd Output
"04 00 00 00" = Front speakers
"05 00 00 00" = Rear speakers
"06 00 00 00" = Center / sub-woofer
"07 00 00 00" = Side speakers

Whereas on Linux :

cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/init_pin_configs 
0x12 0x90a60130 => Internal Mic
0x13 0x40000000 => Unused
0x14 0x90170110 => Internal Speaker
0x18 0x411111f0 => Unused
0x19 0x411111f0 => Unused
0x1a 0x411111f0 => Unused
0x1b 0x411111f0 => Unused
0x1d 0x40759a05 => Unused
0x1e 0x411111f0 => Unused
0x21 0x04211020 => Jack Headphone

So I guess pin 13 could be connected to the jack mic.

I'm playing around with several model values for hda-snd-intel module and try tweaking /lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw to patch the pin routing but no success so far.

If someone knows how to drill this down I'd appreciate.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

This issue seems to affect all Huawei AMD laptops, this bug report on the Huawei WMI driver is for the Matebook D15 AMD 2020. So far it seems that no one has found a solution. I tried with hda-jack-retask on my Matebook 14 AMD 2020 as well but no luck so far. Regarding the issue reported upstream, I am not sure if the WMI driver is the correct place to report though as it affects ALSA rather than WMI.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

That's very sad. I tried to use the internal mic but the sound is unacceptable. It catches too much noise while using the laptop (fan noise, touchpad pressing, keyboard typing). Also the static noise in headphones is too annoying, so I have to take off the headphones whenever I'm not listening to music.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

I agree this looks more alsa-related than huawei-wmi-related.

I've seen some Huawei-specific code in

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c

Nothing worked for now.

For now I cheat by using an external USB to jack adapter (https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001350091638.html).

On Huawei Matebook 13 I have:

"Pin12"=hex:01,00,00,00
"Pin21"=hex:22,00,00,00
"Pin19"=hex:30,00,00,00

and the headset mic is working fine (on Windows 10). So, I guess it might be a wrong pin for mic.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

So I guess pin 13 could be connected to the jack mic.

I guess you are right!
I recently bought a Matebook 14 2020 (4600H) a spent the last few hours trying to fix this issue.

At least under Ubuntu (20.04, I haven't tried it yet with Arch) I managed to get the headphone-mic working on pin 13.
I've tried a few diffenent settings in HDAJackRetask (alsa-tools-gui), this one finally worked:

Connectivity:       Jack
Location:           Right (I guess same as for headphones at pin 21)
Device:             Headphone
Jack:               3.5mm
Color:              Black (just chose same as pin 21)
Jack detection:     Present
Channel group:      15
Channel (in group): Front

I hope that this might help some of you and thank you arno for the pin-definitions!

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

Similar problem on Matebook 13 AMD 2020 (3500U)

My headset is recognized and works but there is always some static noise when playing music and a few seconds afterwards. I do not know why my headset is works but if someone has questions or wants me to display my PC settings, please be free to write me a commands.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

@adiletelf: yes the headset does work, the headset-mic doesn't (at least, in my case).

@ksb: amazing, I've been playing again around, using your settings that seem to work under Ubuntu 20.04, but no luck so far.

From what you shared, I can't understand how it's supposed to ever work.

Could you share the whole bunch of configuration that actually works?
  - kernel version (can be helpful to have a look at potential patches that hav been included)
  - full content of /etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf
  - full content of cat /lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw

Thanks.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

Sure, @arno, here you go:

- im currently on 5.8.0-45-generic (plain Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS).

- hda-jack-retask.conf:

# This file was added by the program 'hda-jack-retask'.
# If you want to revert the changes made by this program, you can simply erase this file and reboot your computer.
options snd-hda-intel patch=hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw

- hda-jack-retask.fw

[codec]
0x10ec0256 0x1e83323c 0

0x12 0x90a60130
0x13 0x042110f0

0x1d 0x40759a05
0x1e 0x411111f0
0x21 0x04211020

To be honest, I'm also not exactly sure what I did, but these settings seem to work somehow.
If I missed any information in my post above, here is a screenshot of my settings in HDAJackRetask.

I hope that this can help you figuring out whats the problem!

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

I didn't succeed to make this configuration work. Too bad.

@ksb: if you cound also send the kernel log about snd_hda with `sudo dmesg | grep snd`, I'd appreciate very much.

I also experimented a little bit more and recognized the following :

I was probably missleading you with pin 13. After seeing the kernel messages I've removed the overwrite from it so that only the "Not connected" overwrite on 0x1a remained. This seems to do it for me.
Interestingly (as you can also see in the dmesg-dump above) some Headphone-mic is detected on 0x19. And, although it is listed as unconnected, in HDAJackRetask at Pin 19 there is als an outgreyed mic visible.

But now it gets really weird: A friend of mine owns exactly the same notebook. Same hardware configuration, bought from the same supplier in the same week. Also running Ubuntu 20.04.2 with the same kernel version.
We didn't spent much time yet, but on his system we didn't managed to get the headphone-mic working with any of the above settings.

I'm pretty confused at this point, for me everything is working flawless.

Re: Huawei Matebook 14 AMD 2020 - Static and headset mic not recognized

I'm pretty confused too!

Played again for a couple of hours, retasking 0x13, 0x19, 0x1a in lots of ways, nothing worked yet.

If anyone (else) got it right, let us know.

options snd-hda-intel model=alc255-acer,dell-headset-multi

into

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

file. After reboot the noise disappeared and everything sounds clear in headphones.

My system info:
Huawei Matebook 13 with AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
Kernel: 5.4.105-1-MANJARO

Please let me know if it works on Arch Linux.

Actually it seems to work for me, even the headset mic!!
I simply put

options snd-hda-intel model=alc255-acer,dell-headset-multi

into a file named

/etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf

Thank you so much, this options indeed allows usage of both the headset output and the headset mic. Unfortunately, I still have (very faint) background noise for a few seconds after playing audio until power saving kicks in or I mute the output. Might be the SNR from the chipset itself? It's hardly noticeable on my cheap in-ears but quite disturbing when using my Bose headphones in wired mode.

Also, using pipewire 1:0.3.24-1, I actually get two additional input devices when plugging in headsets, named "Microphone" and "Headset Microphone". While the latter one works as expected, the former one seems to disable the audio chip as both input/output as well as the background noise are gone when switching to it. Anyone experiencing a similar behavior?

Is your headset mic working as expected? If I select pin 0x19 as mic, there there will be 2 microphones available (internal and headset). But when I switch from internal mic to headset, all the sound is gone, and mic is very noisy with my voice very distorted.

That's true, there are now 3 mics (Internal Mic, headset Mic and Simply Mic). The third one does absolutly nothing, as @And0mer4 mentionned. But switching from internal to headset mics seems to work ok.

Under Gnome, I get a popup to specify the kind of device that got plugged in (headset, headset + mic, mic).
If I choose headset only, I get background little noise (when I move the mouse, when I Type some key).
If I choose headet + mic, I can't hear any background noise, but maybe it's un-noticable due to the headset itself or the volume I set.

However the headset mic recording seems to have some background noise, whose level and frequency depend on the fact that I touch the laptop or not. This should be SNR and / or power grounding related.

Oh, indeed now there is a headset mic available. My voice sounds clear but there is also some noise recorded by mic. By the way, that noise sounds the same as it was before in audio output (headphones).
