Hard to say...  I still think it's either GPIO or EAPD except for very
stupid things like the hardware-volume control via laptop keys
(e.g. Thinkpad has independent volume controls and you have to unmute
it via a button properly).  Marco, did you test all combinations of
GPIO and EAPD?

On other earlier ALC codecs, some device require COEF setups.  This
might be worth to try for ALC268 if the above is all checked.
