The driver from c-media works but freezes my SMP (HT) kernel. So I tried the i810_audio driver in 2.4.22-ac4 kernel. This driver works but I cannot change the volume. It always outputs at high volume irrespective what level I set. I even tried alsa driver snd-intel8x0 and got the same result. no volume control support.' I read somewhere that this is a basic deficiency in the codec and that the driver has to "something special" to achieve this ? Is it true ? Is someone looking into this ? If someone can give me some pointers, I can look into this. thanks, Saravanan
