[alsa-devel] Problems with left audio channel on nVidia MCP61.

Hi,
I am having problems with the left audio channel when using the
nVidia MCP61 chipset. It first cropped up when I bought a new machine
at home, and at the time I figured it was probably faulty hardware.
However, I recently acquired another machine with the same chipset, and
the problem occurs on it too, so now I'm thinking it might be a driver
problem.
The problem is that the left audio channel emits a high-pitched squeal
whenever the audio device is in use. The right channel works normally.
Also, trying to adjust the volume causes all sound to stop working until
I uninstall and re-install all the modules relevant for sound.
I haven't done anything fancy to try and fix the problem since I don't
know a whole lot about ALSA. I'm just using whatever configuration
Ubuntu 7.04 magically decided would be best.
lspci of one of the machines is appended. Can anyone point me in the
direction of what I need to do to fix this? I searched the mailing list
archive and couldn't find anything directly relevant.
Thanks,
Steve.
