[alsa-devel] Mixer control appears twice in alsamixer

[James Cameron]

G'day,

I've a mixer control for "Analog Mic Boost" which appears twice in
alsamixer --view all, and once in amixer.  How do I cause it to appear
only once in alsamixer?

amixer shows both Playback and Capture channels for the control:

--

Simple mixer control 'Analog Mic Boost',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - 8
  Mono: 8 [100%]

--

The control is declared with:

/* {0, +20, +24, +30, +35, +40, +44, +50, +52}dB */
static unsigned int mic_bst_tlv[] = {
	TLV_DB_RANGE_HEAD(7),
	0, 0, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(0, 0, 0),
	1, 1, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(2000, 0, 0),
	2, 2, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(2400, 0, 0),
	3, 5, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(3000, 500, 0),
	6, 6, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(4400, 0, 0),
	7, 7, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(5000, 0, 0),
	8, 8, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(5200, 0, 0),
};

static const struct snd_kcontrol_new rt5631_snd_controls[] = {
...
	SOC_SINGLE_TLV("Analog Mic Boost", RT5631_MIC_CTRL_2,
		       RT5631_MIC1_BOOST_SHIFT, 8, 0, mic_bst_tlv),
...
}

I'm working on alc5631/rt5631 in a local branch of either 3.0 or 3.5
for the OLPC XO-1.75 and XO-4.  But the declaration seems no different
in 4.2, apart from the name of the control.
