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

It works!!! I had to download the CVS version of patch_realtek.c, because
the 1.0.10rc1 version didn't patch correctly. By the way, can you tell me
why does my /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer*, etc sound related devices dissapear
everytime I turn off the laptop? I have to run the snddevices script to
restore the missing devices. Altough the sound seems to work fine without
/dev/dsp, and so forth. ARGH! :-(
And, thanks again for the patch :-)

You can find alsa-kernel subdirectory in alsa-driver tree of 1.0.10rc1
tarball.  That's the place to apply the patch.

Anway, I committed the patch to CVS.

The problem of /dev/dsp* comes definitely from udev, and I think it's
intentional.  The device should appear again when the module is
re-inserted.
