Hi list,
I just replaced a mobo with an ECS K7VTA3 and I find that the Headphones control is now controlling the master channel and the Master control does nothing.
I tried 'modprobe via82xx ac97_quirk=hp_only' but that makes the audio device unusable (although alsamixer still seems happy to set the individual channels).
You mean that you don't hear any outputs? Which I/O (HP out, line-out, etc) are you testing?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that RealAudio player complains that it "cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it."
However, I just tried mplayer, which *does* work normally and the master channel also works properly again.
So it seems that hp_only works, but only partly. Any idea why RealPlayer is complaining?
Any other quirks I should try?
Usually hp_only is the right choice. Check alsa-info.sh script outputs for both cases with and without ac97_quirk option.
Most of that info means nothing to me, so all I can do is point you the results, sorry:
without hp_only http://pastebin.ca/1056077
and with hp_only: http://pastebin.ca/1056088
