Description

The snd-hda-intel module provides sound card and internal microphone support for all EeePC models.

Applies to...

Models:	eeepc-1000 eeepc-1000H eeepc-1000HD? eeepc-700 eeepc-701SD? eeepc-900 eeepc-900A eeepc-901 eeepc-904HD?

Known Issues

• Support for the internal microphone on the EeePC was the primary need for modifying this driver. However, some models' microphones seem to require a little fiddling with the mixer settings in order to enable.

  This can be accomplished by opening the gnome-volume-control or alsamixer and setting the following values:

  • Input Source: Front Mic
  • Capture: 80% (recordable) (unmuted)
  • Front Mic Boost: 30% (unmuted)
  • Front Mic: 100% (muted)
  Note: muting "Front Mic" here is actually correct as this is the front mic's output channel. Unmuting this channel could result in nasty feedback as your microphone input is amplified by the built-in speakers.

  Optionally, one can set these values through the following command-lines:

  amixer set "Input Source" "Front Mic"
  amixer set "Capture" 80% cap unmute
  amixer set "Front Mic Boost" 30% unmute
  amixer set "Front Mic" 100% mute

  ALSA: use correct lock in snd_ctl_dev_disconnect()
  
  commit d8009882e9f5e1a76986c741f071edd2ad760c97 upstream
  
  The lock used in snd_ctl_dev_disconnect() should be card->ctl_files_rwlock
  for protection of card->ctl_files entries, instead of card->controls_rwsem.

  ALSA: hda - Add reboot notifier
  
  commit 0cbf00980f0fc4cc064a15ab3dfce19b5fae9130 upstream
  
  The current snd-hda-intel driver seems blocking the power-off on some
  devices like eeepc. Although this is likely a BIOS problem, we can add
  a workaround by disabling IRQ lines before power-off operation.
  This patch adds the reboot notifier to achieve it.
  
  The detailed problem description is found in bug#11889:

  EEEPC: Added in preliminary support for the EeePC 1000 soundcard.
  Upstream alsa believes it works like the 901, so they just added in support
  by by saying the 1000's deviceid/vendorid uses the 901 quirk code.
