[alsa-devel] hda-intel: low volume with nvidia mcp7a hdmi

[Halim Sahin]

Hello,
The volume of the mentioned card is really too low.
used kernel: 2.6.31-rc6 from opensuse factory.
lspci reports:

I didn't give any cmdline params to snd-ihda-intel.
Any ideas how to get more power out of this card?
regards
