What's exactly the symptom on your hardware?
Please show the information as I wrote in my previous mail...

Here's the stuff you asked for. I unmuted all channels and maximized the sliders. Only register 0:04 is still muted as I explained before.

Also, I've split the channels into separate PCM devices for now, because I wanted to test sending output to a specific device. Is that ok? It is the same as done with the Audigy LS.
 
I am trying to clean up the code a little bit and I've also added capture support and fixed a few bugs I found.

I guess the attached patch fixes the problem.
Could you give a try?

Re: Sigmatel STAC9708/011

[fmoraes74]

Well, for some reason I don't see the control anymore on gnome-alsamixer or alsa-mixer. It used to be the last one displayed and it is not there anymore.

How can I debug this? I will take a look at the ac97 document but I was pretty sure about this.

Also, do you have any idea of why I am hearing noise/cracks when I record at 8Khz instead of 48Khz?

Hmm?  It's still there.

Check the contents of /etc/asound.state after running alsactl store,
and see what's shown in the files /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/*
files.

If it's a cracking noise, it's often the mismatch of the buffer/period
size between software and hardware, or the mismatch of the sampling
rate (hardware think it's 48k but software process in another rate).

Sigmatel STAC9708/011

[fmoraes74]

On ALSA 1.0.4, there was a control called Sigmatel on the mixer for the emu10k1x STAC9708/011 mixer.

Now, on ALSA 1.0.5a, the control is gone even though I could use it to control the volume of one of the hardware buffers.

Any reason for the removal? If the removal is needed, should I add it back?
