As I posted in earlier posts, it adds virtual controls that have several slave controls with the same types, e.g. Front, Surround, Center, LFE, etc. Then these are adjusted simultaneously via the master control. It'd be appreciated if some one can test the patches with HD-audio h/w that has no master control yet (e.g. some STAC codecs). Note that this won't add the master volumes if there are no real volume controls. Some codecs have really no volume control, and this won't help for such devices. Two (and one for driver) patches will follow after this. Takashi
