Bug 309669 – >=gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5 Missing mixer control on the Realtek ALC262.

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vic Kerr (wikky) 2010-03-15 22:56:18 UTC]

Since gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5 I noticed that I was missing the "Front" mixer control. At least on my Tyan n6650W (S2915-E) (the Realtek ALC262 sound chip) I need to slide it up to hear sounds, and there are no sounds whatsoever if I mute it or the control is missing.

I never had the time to issue a bug, instead I always fiddled with it until it worked, however, now I decided to post a bug and include a short patch that enables the "Front" mixer control.

The patch is for gentoo-sources 2.6.31-r10 but will most likely work with older/newer versions (with the correct line numbers) as it only adds two lines to the sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c file.

Reproducible: Always
