[alsa-devel] Random controls with hda-intel
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

Noticed the following in the GIT code in regards to your card..
/* FIXME: the entry below breaks Toshiba A100 (model=auto works!) * Any other models that need this preset? */ /* SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1179, 0xff10, "Toshiba", ALC861_TOSHIBA), */
Please confirm if using that quirk makes the card behave properly for you. You can do this by loading the snd-hda-intel module with the model=toshiba argument. (remove snd-hda-intel module from the running kernel, then do 'modprobe snd-hda-intel model=toshiba')

Using the driver (fresh snapshot 22-Sep) with or without the quirk has no obvious influence on the mixer controls I get.
With model=auto I get the following controls: Master, Front, Caller I, Off-hook (bool only, no functionality) PCM, Capture (volume only, at least pcm works as expected) Line, CD, Mic (bool and volume, not tested) Input Source (multiple choice)
With model=toshiba I get almost almost quiet but audible playback and the following controls: Master, Caller I, Off-hook (bool, master works as expected) PCM, Capture (volume only, at least pcm works) Mic (bool and volume, not tested) Front Mic, Line, CD, Mixer (only capture selection)
BTW: This box is indeed a Toshiba A100.
