Hi Lee, if your there. I've seen a couple of guys having problems with no
master control in alsamixer using snd-hda-intel driver. One posted to this
list, but in HTML, and probably was ignored (quite rightly), and is using a
Hasee Q310N laptop, and Gentoo. the other guy is trying to deal with the
problem on the Fedora list, with some help from another guy. He is using an
Acer Aspire ZWLMi notebook, with FC5.
The hda-intel driver is supported according to the sound card matrix, but are
there any odd problems with it? And why should the master volume control be
missing from Alsamixer.
I've posted the latest output the guy with the Acer notebook posted, in case
you might see anything jumping out at you which is obviously wrong.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# service alsasound restart
Shutting down sound driver: done
Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# rpm -qa |grep alsa
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.11-4.rc2
alsa-utils-1.0.11-4.rc2
alsa-lib-1.0.11-4.rc2
Tried playing and alsamixer. Still have no master volume.
Running system-config-soundcard now, here's the log:

------- /proc/asound/version --------
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1.
Compiled on Jul 31 2006 for kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5.
But he's now trying kernel version-2.6.18-rc3.
Personally I'm puzzled why there is no master control on Alsamixer for this
card using the snd-hda-intel driver.
Hope you had a nice break by the way.
Nigel.
