This patch does not help. I'm still trying to understand what temporarily fixed the problem, I was quite sure this patch did it, but all of the sudden the noise came back. I'm still trying to find the real cause, but I doubt I'll succeed. Regards, Gabriele

However, it seems that disabling the AA-loopback path is not necessary, muting the input 0x0b in node 0x0c (as it was suggested here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1252733/comments/26) is enough to get rid of the white noise. What is the proper way to fix this problem? Regards, Gabriele

This reminds me of a similar problem reported on Sony VAIO. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873704 The codec is different, it's ALC275, though. > What is the proper way to fix this problem? Just to be sure: does the mic input itself work correctly? Maybe the easiest fix would be disabling the aamix, indeed. But you shouldn't apply it generically to ALC668. I'm sure that it's pretty specific to machines, not codec chips. So, create a fixup function that matches with your machine instead. Takashi

Or, another hackish solution is to override the connection list of the mixer widget. Point the item to another (e.g. non-existing) node, so that the parser won't pick it up. For this (and even with your patch to disable aamix completely), the fixup should have a static init verb to mute this mixer input. Takashi

Disable the AA-loopback path to get rid of the constant white noise that can be heard when headphones are used. This patch was tested only on a Dell XPS13 9333. Fix based on d2e92709e88d ("ALSA: hda - Disable AA-loopback on ALC283 Chromebook").
