USB audio has its own set of issues with mixer control naming - also dmix is not enabled by default for any USB audio device. Why can't you just use "Front" as "Master"? Lee - Take Surveys.

Re: [Alsa-user] snd-hda-intel no master control in alsamixer
I too have some problems with alsa on my Z60m Thinpad, similar to what Jaroslaw Gorny. When i boot my laptop, it sometimes hangs on attempting to load alsa. It happens randomly, sometimes it starts normal, sound ok, everything perfect. Sometimes it hangs on loading alsa modules, it just hangs on :: loading snd-card-0. by mistake i found out that i can skip this by hitting ctrl+print screen. Then, i keep getting these messages in my syslog:: Jul 19 13:22:31 newroot ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:1b.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 newroot printk: 11 messages suppressed. newroot azx_get_response timeout Some details on my hardware/software: IBM thinkpad Z60m, 2531w25, Linux newroot 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jul 17 22:50:07 EEST 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz GNU/Linux.

Hi,Lee. I'm the one who use Hasee Q310N laptop and Gentoo. I don't know if these information can help to solve problems. The ALC861 I have tried 3stack, 3stack-dig, 6stack-dig, and auto model options.

On some reboots I've got sound, on some not.

It's misleading to say "snd-hda-intel is supported" because every single laptop and motherboard with snd-hda-intel is slightly different and there's absolutely no documentation on what the differences are. Possibly the hardware is oncorrectly detected. It's also possible that these devices simply have no hardware master volume and Windows emulates it in software. All these users can do for now is search for information about their machine in the ALSA bug tracker and hope it gets fixed someday.

[Alsa-user] snd-hda-intel no master control in alsamixer
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
