Summary:                    Mixer not working  / fujitsu laptop V2060 with HDA
intel & AD1986A
Description: 
Hi all,

I am unable to use mixer settings on my laptop.
Basically ALSA correctly detects HDA intel, Analog device chip. Mixer
settings are there but changing volume, muting/unmuting does not make any
difference. Playing  mp3 file with xmms sometimes i can hear some sound,
but not loud enough.
I tried with the latest ALSA version available, still not luck :-(

Can anyone help ?

Fabien

Hi guys,

Sorry for this late answer, but fact is that as was off to my parents
house for a long WE, with no Internet access of course :-(

Takashi, i tried your patch and it works FINE for my laptop too (Tested
PCM playback only). Model i used was model=2ch
By the way i had been working this WE on a patch of my own and was ready
to submit it to you :-). I attached it anyway so that you can grab my
vendor/device id.

HOWEVER,
Using my patch i never got microphone to work properly, and for now i
don't have any microphone under my hands anymore to test your patch, its
too bad :-(

Some more random comments to further improbe things on a laptop
configuration:
 - For what i've tried, Headphone volume is useless. Headphone volume is
the same as Front DAC. (==>remove it from mixer list ??)
 - PC speaker is not connected to anything (==>remove it from mixer list
??)
 - Is stereo downmix switch usefull on a 2ch configutation ? (It might be
a dumb question, i'm not familiar to this stuff ;-) )
 - I'm not sure if mono input is usefull.


By the way here the decription of the connectivity on my laptop:
 - A set of speakers, obviously connected to Front DAC.
 - A microphone input
 - A line in input
 - A headset output
 - A SPDIF output 
 ... and that' all :-)

Many thanks for the good work anyway !!

Applied the fixed patch to CVS.

Let's close this bug once.  For a problem with recording, please open
