problems with Maestro3 / NEC LM800J/7

[Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano]

Hi gurus... I'm having problems getting sound out of this laptop:
  NEC LM800J/7
I'm using 2.4.20-pre6 + current alsa cvs (post 0.9.2)... After
installing everything is fine, drivers load perfectly, I unmute all
controls, raise all volumes and aplay seems happy playing a soundfile,
except I get no sound (from the speakers or the headphone connection). I
tried tweaking all controls in gamix with no success...

Here is the lspci -v -v for the audio controller:

00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1988 Allegro-1 (rev 12)
	Subsystem: NEC Corporation: Unknown device 80f1
	Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
	Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 64 (500ns min, 6000ns max)
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10
	Region 0: I/O ports at 1400 [size=256]
	Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
		Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold-)
		Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

Any suggestions? There must be _one_ pin that is not being turned on :-)
Anything I could post that would enable debugging this?
Thanks!
-- Fernando

For future reference: I started playing with the module options and got
it to work when loading with:

  amp_gpio=3

great that you already found the solution.

could you give the output of lspci -nv to add this device entry to the
quirk list?  at the next update, the driver should work without this
option.


ciao,

Takashi

Sure, it is attached to this email (the owner of the laptop just sent it
to me - thanks Rodrigo)...
