Hi Alexander,
I got the sound out of that speaker!! :)
I actually started to read your code, and I'm still trying to understand
the stuff in it (I never wrote a device driver)
Anyway, so I did a little hack'ish modification (just to test) in function
hdaa_audio_ctl_amp_set_internal(struct hdaa_devinfo *devinfo, nid_t nid,
int index, int lmute, int rmute,
int left, int right, int dir)
{
uint16_t v = 0;
// Do not mute, even if asked for. Test to be removed of course
lmute = 0;
rmute = 0;
I know, this is absolutely NOT the way to do it, but I wanted to see
if the speaker wasn't muted (or the mixer that controls it)
and it -actually- WAS muted!
Now, I guess I'll have to read the whole code, try to understand its
internals, and I hope to be able to write a patch to add to hdaa_patches.c
I'm just a beginner, but I'll try anyway :)
