Hi guys,
This is a problem I already posted on alsa-users, but since the only reply I got was a me-too, I'm posting here.
I have some problems with the snd-hda-intel driver. The mixer controls seem to be unpredictably appearing and disappearing or changing type (on/off-switch vs volume) from alsa-driver version to version. In the current daily snapshot (12th Sept 2008) I have no volume control at all. In the driver shipped with 2.6.25 kernel at least I get a pcm volume control. Several driver versions ago (dont remember the version number) I had a master volume control. Several other controls seem to have no effect on anything.
When loading the snd-hda-intel driver, I get in my syslog:
hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC861, trying auto-probe from BIOS...
The alsa info script has uploaded my infos here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=be535315befdb3dbb24430e90e46a7b4ed07a591
Any help is appreciated
Kai
