[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#640034: Bug#640034: alsa-base: Subwoofer not working in m14x with Realtek ALC665

[Ismael Farfán]

Hi

Recently I installed the kernel 2.6.39 from the snapshots and with it
my subwoofer works with the following considerations from alsamixer:
Speaker: controls only the speakers
PCM: controls only the subwoofer
Auto-Mute: works partially, mutes the speakers but not the subwoofer
(I have to manually put PCM to 0, it doesn't affects the headphones,
only the Master control does)

Is it possible to use the (alsa) configuration from this kernel with
the latest 3.2.x?

Here is the output of the alsa-info.sh

Cheers
Ismael
