Bug 49530 – gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5 alsa via82xx wrong mixer control type

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Max Loparev 2004-04-30 12:47:06 UTC]

In this version of alsa driver Mic As Center/LFE has a wrong type and value
control.47 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type INTEGER
                comment.range '0 - 0'
                iface MIXER
                name 'Mic As Center/LFE'
                value 0
        }
instead of .type Boolean

I don't check 2.6.4 for that but in 2.6.2 and earlier, I had used 5.1 output. In this version i can use only Mic and can't switch to output additional channels.

Cool, about a month without any question, suggestion or something that says that we are still not dead.
I want my Center/LFE channel back. 
Could anyone answer how i can patch 
ac97_patch.c at line 1085 to get 
nor 
 amixer cget numid=47
numid=47,iface=MIXER,name='Mic As Center/LFE'
  ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=1,min=0,max=0,step=0
  : values=0
that completly wrong
but something like
amixer cget numid=45
numid=45,iface=MIXER,name='Line-In As Surround'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw---,values=1
  : values=off
