Hi,
[Takashi]:
Interesting. Is it with or without model option? There is a model option specific for aspire one (acer-aspire). Doesn't it work better?
OK, _THIS_ time I actually did get the correct model (last time I tried modprobe with model=acer-aspire, but apparently it then used the /etc/modprobe.d/ model=toshiba setting, since this time gamix showed entirely different controls with i-Mic etc.) - all the more reason to log the model name chosen/selected by the driver!!
Build with the debug option (why turned off even if you *are* debugging?). Then the driver will show you details.
--> I have to admit that usability sucks^Hcould be a lot better.
One would call it rather debuggability than usability. These are completely different things.
It's perfectly fine for ALSA to not have support for newish codecs or newish machines with weird setups, but basic usability and or documentation should thus be as good as can be to make sure that weaknesses can get detected and fixed in no time, even by "interested parties".
i-Mic on Ekiga with lotsa mixer fiddling didn't work either this time.
OK, then something is missing. But you should test by arecord first than any complicated applications as a primary test.
Anyway, the acer-aspire support code was written by Realtek guys, so it'd be best to ask them...
thanks,
Takashi
For comparing the hardware setting, please you run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated file at each state. This shows the real codec register values.
OK, here it is (-rc3 with model=acer-aspire):
