Done. Compilation and load of the modules are ok but the volume stays
low on the rear panel of the computer.

also no success with hda-verb.
Do you have more ideas what I can test?

Maybe this aditional info helps you :-).
I noticed a difference in volume between headphone (front connector) and
the line out (rear panel connector).
The volume is higher when using the headphone connector but should also
be improoved a bit :-(.
this info is from alsamixer and the new driver:
Card: HDA NVidia
    Chip: Nvidia ID 7
This info is from the orginal driver of kernel 2.6.34:
  Card: HDA NVidia
    Chip: Nvidia MCP79/7A HDMI

Why does alsamixer show     Chip: Nvidia ID 7 with new driver?

All help appreciated ;-)

BR.
