Summary:                    1.0.10rc1 ALSA driver doesn't have PC Speaker
support in hda-intel (Uniwill)
Description: 
My laptop is equiped with an Intel (IHC6M) integrated audio controller. The
chipset is a Realtek ALC880 with a Uniwill subsystem.

With the previous version of ALSA (1.0.9b), I had the LineIn/Speakers
mixup issue. That problem is now fixed with the 1.0.10rc1 version (and
previously with a CVS), but now the PC Speaker is muted and doesn't apear
on AlsaMixer.

I'm using ALSA 1.0.10rc1 drivers + libs + oss + utils.

Another thing! Does this sound card support multiplexing? Either by
hardware, or if ALSA can achieve that by software. I'm having trouble
playing more than one sound at the same time, and all the things I've read
until now, didn't help me :-\

If more information is needed, just let me know :-)

Cheers,
Quetzy Garcia

Do you mean "PC Speaker" = "internal speaker on laptop"?
The "PC Speaker" mixer controls are for beep, so it's likely unrelated.

Does the attached patch change the behavior?

About the multi-play: ALSA native apps use dmix as default, so they should
work as they are.  For OSS apps, use aoss wrapper instead.  It's not a
bug.
