# HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j113tx

From ArchWiki

This article or section does not follow the Laptop page guidelines.

Reason: Misses an Accessibility and Firmware section, the "Function keys" table needs a rework. (Discuss in Talk:HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j113tx)

This page applies to the HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j113tx.

## Touchscreen

The integrated display includes a Touchscreen.

Note When working with the laptop lid closed, the touchscreen sends spurious touch events. It is recommended to disable touchscreen input when the lid is closed and re-enable it when the lid is opened (using e.g. `xinput --disable` and `xinput --enable` respectively). Touchscreen calibration has not (yet) been tested.

## Audio

The laptop has integrated 4.1 speakers. Stereo sound works successfully from the front two speakers without intervention under ALSA.

The other speakers are not recognised or used by default; they can be mapped using the hdajackretask utility from the alsa-tools package, and it appears the correct combination is the same as for other contemporary HP ENVY models:

Pin ID | Override Mapping
--- | ---
0x0d | Internal speaker
0x0f | Internal speaker (Back)
0x10 | Internal speaker (LFE)

## Function keys

The integrated numeric keypad is dual-function, and defaults to scrolling actions unless `NumLock` is enabled. There is no `ScrollLock` key and there is no indicator light for `NumLock`.

The integrated Function keys are also dual-function, and default to either system control actions or assigned Functions depending on what is configured in the Firmware Setup Utility (reversible at runtime by using the `Fn` key in combination). The system control actions are:

Key(s) | Control Action | Status (assuming appropriate software)
--- | --- | ---
`F1` | `Super+F1` | No hardware action by default, but may trigger a software action (meant to be a 'Help' key under Windows).
`F2`, `F3` | Monitor Brightness Down/Up | Works for integrated display.
`F4` | `Super+P` | No hardware action by default, but may trigger a software action (meant to switch video output under Windows).
`F5` |  | Not captured (activates and deactivates the keyboard backlight, which appears to be hardware controlled).
`F6`, `F7`, `F8` | Volume Mute/Down/Up | Works, including the LED that shows when volume is muted.
`F9`, `F10`, `F11` | Media Previous/Play/Next | Works.
`F12` |  | Not captured (activates and deactivates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transceivers, with a LED that changes depending on this state).

## Fingerprint sensor

Currently not supported by Fprint, according to the project website. The libfprint-gitAUR package may offer some hope, but this has not (yet) been tested on this model.
