Bug#298334: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686: volume being listed as an input not an output for CS4299 rev6 (I440MX)
Package: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686
Version: 2.6.10-4
Severity: normal
like the usb-audio device i have (a PDT cyberphone with mono
capabilities), my Intel I440MX Cirrus Logic CS4299 (rev 6) has started
being reported with volume as an INPUT device not an OUTPUT.
the I440MX was not until about 2.6.9 detected as a CS4299.
in 2.6.9 it was intermittently detected and reported by userspace
programs as either an I440MX or a CS4299.
when reported as an I440X, the volume was successfully shown on
the output.
after running shockwave flash and some jumbled garbage coming
from the audio (my browser is running the flash plugin at 100%
CPU on this 800Mhz machine and so hasn't got time to feed things
like audio) resulting in ear-howling noise followed by silence,
re-running kmix would definitely show up the device (now silent)
as a CS4299.
prior to shockwave messing things up, the device would show up as
an I440MX.
when running 2.6.10, it's always absolutely 100% guaranteed to
show up as a CS4299 - again, 100% guaranteed to have the volume
as an input.
