I have installed linux on a number of PCs over the last year or so. Each PC having a different audio chipset. Recently I have installed linux on PCs with the ALC888 and CS4299 chipset. I was able to work out the CS4299 chipset basically downloading the chipset block diagram from the manufacturer. I am sure I mapped all mixer controls but I had to guess some mixer controls. The ALC888 is different though, looking at the chipset block diagram there are potentially 50 simple mixer controls. The alsa mixer has around half that. With this chipset I am having trouble capturing from the line-in and mic input. I can only capture from the line-in. And even with this the signal is distorted. I have a signal analyser : ( Its like this is mic level rather than line level. Maybe I need to check my hardware connectivity. Can you help? Anyway I am sure whoever write the drivers must go through the trouble of selecting which mixer control to choose from the chipset. I am sure this information would be invaluable for design, user and debug : ) Thats really what I was originally asking. Hope this helps.
