Thanks for taking a look at this patch so quickly, Takashi.

Yes, will do.

Thanks for suggesting this.

Having tested, I can confirm that setting this coef only affects
the output mute LED, and does not affect output.

I will therefore assume that current implementation in my patch is OK,
but let me know if it still needs changing (maybe I've misunderstood).

For reference to other users, the commands to test are:
# output LED on
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 0x0b
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0xa02f

# output LED off
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 0x0b
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0x7774

Many thanks, Jonathan
