My VT1802 chip has a beep-generating node:

But I'm missing the:
Control: name=...
entries that I think I need to manage this widget from alsamixer. For example, sambrian posts codec output for a CX20561 chip which has [1]:

I can patch with something like this:
diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c b/sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c index 3de6d3d..85a0c08 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c @@ -1520,8 +1520,10 @@ static int patch_vt2002P(struct hda_codec *codec) spec->gen.mixer_nid = 0x21; override_mic_boost(codec, 0x2b, 0, 3, 40); override_mic_boost(codec, 0x29, 0, 3, 40);
if (spec->codec_type == VT1802)
if (spec->codec_type == VT1802) {spec->gen.beep_nid = 0x22; fix_vt1802_connections(codec);} add_secret_dac_path(codec); snd_hda_pick_fixup(codec, NULL, vt2002p_fixups, via_fixups);to get a dmesg entry like:
input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card1/hdaudioC1D0/input15
but that doesn't add the beep controls. Looking at patch_analog.c, patch_conexant.c, and patch_realtek.c for inspiration, I expect we'll need an HDA_CODEC_MUTE_BEEP(_MONO) entry, and possibly an HDA_CODEC_VOLUME(_MONO) entry, but I'm not sure if these should be mono or not, or if they should be inputs (following patch_realtek.c) or outputs (following patch_analog.c and patch_conexant.c). I've filled out Via's datasheet-request form [2], but I don't know how likely that is to be accepted.
According to your output, the node 0x22 has:
Node 0x22 [Beep Generator Widget] wcaps 0x70040c: Mono Amp-Out Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x0a, nsteps=0x12, stepsize=0x05, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x0a]
so this should mono and output.
Other codecs may have different controls because rather controlling in the input of the mixer widget or such.
