Hi,

it's a known fact that snd-hda-intel driver doesn't work as is on many devices. It's often solved by adding a proper probe_mask option (usually because of non-working modem codec). Also, in some machines, position_fix is necessary.

Now, as of ALSA 1.0.15-rc1, the driver has a built-in table for setting the default probe_mask and/or position_fix for known "buggy" devices.

I'd like to ask you give feedback for this. If you have a machine that works ONLY with a probe_mask or a position_fix option, let me know. Give the output of "lspci -nv" (only for the audio device, which has class 0403) together with the product name. Then I'll add the entry for your device so that you won't need extra option on 1.0.15-final release.

Please make sure that you test the latest driver, at least, 1.0.15-rc1, at best the latest HG version. Don't give a report with 1.0.14 or older versions. It doesn't help.

For convenience for people that don't use HG, the daily snapshot tarball can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/

Thanks in advance,

Takashi
