it's in src/sys/dev/pci/azalia_codec.c. but it's pretty basic right now. the ALC patch I sent modifies it a bit so we can give it hints. and that patch uses the hints to give an outputs.master to most ALC codecs (at least all ACL88x). btw, it looks like most STAC (Sigmatel, now IDT) codecs create an outputs.volume which should be equivilent to outputs.master. I believe that should give a "simple slider" to most codecs found in Apple machines (and others too). I'll get to the AD codecs once the ALC (and STAC, still working out a few bits) patches are in. anyone who has an azalia or is interested in azalia should subscribe to tech@, as there will be some changes you'll want to know about/test. > On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 01:51:31PM +0000, Jacob Meuser wrote: > > On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 07:30:24AM -0600, Marco Peereboom wrote: > > > I find this very confusing too.
