Hello,
The attached file is a patch to support the sound hardware in the Samsung NC10 mini notebook. The Samsung NC10 is and Intel Atom-based notebook with Realtek ALC272 HDA codecs. Sound is supported partly in Linux depending on ALSA version, but there were always some issues (wrong mixer behaviour, PC beep always muted, ...). This patch tries to solve most of these issues. I updated the patch so it would work using the alsa-driver-20090509 snapshot from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/ (originally developed from alsa-driver-20090416 snapshot).
Thanks for the patch! After a brief look, the changes look good. But there are some issues to be fixed. See some comments below.
Fixes:
- mute internal speaker / microphone when plugging in external
headphone / microphone
- stereo capture from external microphone
- separate volume controls for headphone and internal speakers +
"Master" for both
- "PC Beep" mixer control
- "Mic boost" and "External mic boost" controls
- ...
A few issues remaining:
- Recording PCM output does not work yet. It works on the version of
Windows that comes with the NC10.
- When choosing recording source "Internal Mic" while an external
microphone is plugged in, the internal microphone will be used instead of the external one, as it should. However, when plugging in the external microphone after choosing the recording source setting, it WILL override the internal microphone.
First off, please give a text as a change log together with your sign-off so that the patch can be merged to the upstream.

This kind of comment isn't needed because we track all changes via GIT.

CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is set on some distros as default, so the driver shouldn't change the fundamental behavior by that option. If you'd like to keep the test code, just comment out with some other ifdef. Even an ifdef 0 with a comment would be OK.

These models have been already added pretty recently. Please rebase your patch with the latest snapshot.

Also, don't forget to update Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt, too.
Could you fix the issues above and repost?
