Especially, I'd like to know whether the headphone > auto-mute works in this form or not. I have tested the new driver code on a machine here, and automute does work. There is however no enable/disable automute yet, as Realtek has. There are no input jack devices either (i e those we're debating in the other thread). On the input side I notice a minor thing: "Front Mic Playback Volume" has an unneccessary index on it. Well, the Front mic is actually an internal mic, but that's BIOS lying to us, I guess. Otherwise it seems to work fine here, so well done! :-) > Also, if anyone has alsa-info.sh outputs of VIA codecs, please let me > know.
