Re: Bug report - patch_realtek.c - Laptop HP COMPAQ B1900 Series

I think the only question below is about the automute, right?
Then I did another test by modifying like below (so the result is same 
as sending any hda-verb cmd) -- The result is the auto-mute works too:
if (present) {
                 snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, 0x01, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_MASK, 0);
                 snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, 0x01, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_DIRECTION,
                                           0);
                 /*snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, 0x0f, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL,
                                           PIN_HP);*/
                 snd_hda_codec_read(codec, 0x01, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_GET_GPIO_MASK,
                                           0);
         } else {
                 snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, 0x01, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_MASK, 1);
                 snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, 0x01, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_DIRECTION,
                                           1);
                 /*snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, 0x0f, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL,
                                           PIN_OUT);*/
                 snd_hda_codec_read(codec, 0x01, 0,
                                           AC_VERB_GET_GPIO_MASK,
                                           0);
         }
