[alsa-devel] Support new HDA codec continue...

[Jorge Fernandez Monteagudo]

Hi all,

I've to take again the HDA codec for Wolfson because I see that I can't
change the master volume. I would like to know how can I do to get with
amixer an entry for master o pcm volume.

Now I have:

~ # amixer
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'Stereo Differential',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 127
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 106 [83%] [-10.50dB] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 106 [83%] [-10.50dB] [on]

but I only can enable or disable the audio with

# amixer sset 'IEC958' on / off

but no master sound control is present...

with

# amixer sset  'Stereo Differential' 100%
or
# amixer sset  'Stereo Differential' 0%

there is no difference.

Any hint is welcome
Thanks!

Jorge

Hrm, that's not strictly accurate - we didn't help with the code but I
know there's been some help (possibly via the distributor).

Looking at the code it seems like most of this is things that I'd really
expect the generic driver to be able to cope with assuming a suitable
BIOS setup, but looking at the generic driver it seems like it might
need some enhancement to do so.  Things like the S/PIDF output should
really be able to Just Work.  Hrm.
