The key events above are just event labels, and it's up to the desktop
system how they are interpreted.  Most desktop systems like KDE or
GNOME should have the dedicated settings.  They can be set up to
change the multiple volumes as a single action, but I'm not sure about
the details.

Alternatively, you can assign "PCM" volume, which controls usually all
digital output (in software).

Yes, that'll be the best solution.

The fact that both volumes were controlled with a single control on
2.6.22 was a pure luck (or a side-effect).  It wasn't intended
behavior.  Originally, the driver code is written to control the
volumes of HP and speaker streams separately.  This isn't changed
between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23.

The missing feature (the real Main volume) will be implemented on
2.6.24.  (Not for all codecs, but most of them, I hope.)

 Ok. Seen from this viewpoint this is no real regression. But do you have
 an idea how can i fix my setup?
 
 Currently i have these .Xmodmap key bindings:
 
 keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
 keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
 keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
 
 Some kde component while take care of the XF86AudioLowerVolume and
 XF86AudioRaiseVolume events and change the value of the master
 volume control.
 
 This is still happening with 2.6.23-rc5, but the master volume, stopped to be

 When i connect headphones to my notebook the MacBook-Volume-Up and 
 MacBook-Volume-Down keys still work, but they stopped to work with the 
 build-in speaker, but will work with the headphones plugged in.
 
 The problem is, that i use the build-in speakers more often than the 
 headphones.
 When a headphone is connected the build-in speakers go silent.
 
 And i agree with Mr. Juhl that a master volume control should control both

Shouldn't the goal be to have both?  Multiple individual controls as
well as a Master that adjusts them all.  That would also solve Thomas'
problem.
As I see it you broke Thomas' setup and that in my book is a regression.

Status  : problem is being debugged



Hello,

I am not the one to handle the issue. I have just supplied the
pinconfigs for the intel mac cards and assisted with logs/debug
information, so I happen to be more of an end user. I am not familiar
with the code base of the Intel HDA Codec. Takashi Iwai is the one
with the knowledge to fix the problem.


... but without the hardware :-<

IMO, this is actually no real regression.  In the earlier verison, you
didn't have controls for multiple outputs, thus the mixer control was
named as Master.  Now you do have multiple individual controls, and
thus there is no master any more, instead.  That's the trade-off.

Would you buy or use a stand-alone mixer where the only way to control 
total output would be to change the setting for one output, then 
rebalance all the others against it, and then iterate until the result 
is correct?


Is this an intermediate step to the full functionality of a $29 Radio 
Shack mixer, or a limitation of just one audio driver, or maybe the user 
interface for ALSA is broken right now?


Is it planned to leave Linux audio in this state?
