The patch will change only the behavior of Master control. PCM should be as same as before.
That's correct, PCM behaves always the same way (with or without patch).
What "value" are you referring in the above context? Is it a raw mixer value, percent or dB, or the codec amp value?
I mean value which is under Master control bar in alsamixer program.
Maybe we need to make clear how the master volume control behaves. According to the original bug reporter, the master volume behaves like below:
- from 0% to 49% sounds are still audible, and the volume doesn't change at
all
- from 50% to 100% sounds get louder normally
How about yours?
I have exactly the same behavior of volume control as you described, but after applying ad1981-hp-master-amp-fix master behaves as described in previous letter and below (as reminder).
"I can only decrement it (master) to value (I've described what do I mean saying "value" in the begining of the letter) 3, and when I press down key (in alsamixer) to step to lower level of loudness, it's switching to value 103. When Master has 103 value I can hear very quiet output from internal speakers and HP (if plugged)."
