Hi Mark,
Sorry again, but I'm quite new on alsa subsystem. I need an help on figuring out
on how to implements your solution. From what you suggest I got that I need to create
a bypass mixer for every switch (4 -> SPK, REC, MIC2, INA):

/* Out Mixer SPK */
static const struct snd_kcontrol_new max98088_output_bypass_spk_mixer_controls[] = {
       SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("SPK Bypass Switch", M98088_REG_4A_CFG_BYPASS, 0, 1, 0),
};

/* Out Mixer REC */
static const struct snd_kcontrol_new max98088_output_bypass_rec_mixer_controls[] = {
       SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("REC Bypass Switch", M98088_REG_4A_CFG_BYPASS, 1, 1, 0),
};

/* Out Mixer MIC */
static const struct snd_kcontrol_new max98088_output_bypass_mic_mixer_controls[] = {
       SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("MIC2 Bypass Switch", M98088_REG_4A_CFG_BYPASS, 4, 1, 0),
};

/* Out Mixer INA */
static const struct snd_kcontrol_new max98088_output_bypass_ina_mixer_controls[] = {
       SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("INA Bypass Switch", M98088_REG_4A_CFG_BYPASS, 7, 1, 0),
};

After that, I need to route the new control mixers on the switch:

 {"Out Mixer SPK", "SPK Bypass Switch", "RECN"},
 {"Out Mixer REC", "REC Bypass Switch", "RECP"},
 {"Out Mixer MIC", "MIC2 Bypass Switch", "MIC1"},
 {"Out Mixer INA", "INA Bypass Switch", "INA"},

Then route the bypass switch to the new output:

 {"SPKL", NULL, "SPK Bypass Switch"},
 {"RECN", NULL, "REC Bypass Switch"},
 {"MIC2", NULL, "MIC2 Bypass Switch"},
 {"MIC1", NULL, "INA Bypass Switch"},

I'm in the right way? What do you think about?
Can you point me a similar bypass switch into the kernel to take as reference?
Thanks in advance

Regards,
Tommmaso
