Maybe I found the problem. Adding my card to hp_blike_system() doesn't change anything. The driver identifies the card (laptop) successfully as a HP DV7 (because the bass speaker is usable and can switched on or off with tools like Alsamixergui), with or without an entry in hp_blike_system() like this: case 0x103c30fc: . As I identified, the problem is located in set_hp_led_gpio. This function assumes, if it counts more than 3 io's, the GPIO 3 is responsible for controlling of mute LED. Maybe it is right in some cases, but not in all. For the HP7-1160eg (and probably not only on this notebook) GPIO 0 controlls the mute LED, but the counter is I could fix it by changing the value from 3 to 8 in static void set_hp_led_gpio(struct hda_codec *codec). I don't know, there the value of 3 comes from. But I afraid, it could causing a lot of side effects. Who knows, why the threshold value is set greater then 3 ? kaktus@elefant-lin:~$ diff alsa-driver-1.0.23_a/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c alsa-driver-1.0.23_b/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c 4769c4769 < if (gpio > 3) --- > if (gpio > 8) This is the function: static void set_hp_led_gpio(struct hda_codec *codec) { struct sigmatel_spec *spec = codec->spec; unsigned int gpio; gpio = snd_hda_param_read(codec, codec->afg, AC_PAR_GPIO_CAP); gpio &= AC_GPIO_IO_COUNT; if (gpio > 8) spec->gpio_led = 0x08; /* GPIO 3 */ else spec->gpio_led = 0x01; /* GPIO 0 */ } Here are some information about my sound-card. hda_analyzer shows: Codec: 0x111d76b2 Address: 0 Function Id: 0x101 Vendor Id: 0x111d76b2 Subsystem Id: 0x103c30fd Revision Id: 0x100302 No Modem Function Group found Default PCM: rates [0x7e0]: 44100 48000 88200 96000 176400 192000 bits [0xe]: 16 20 24 formats [0x1]: PCM Default Amp-In caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Default Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x7f, nsteps=0x7f, stepsize=0x02, mute=1 GPIO: io=8, o=0, i=0, unsolicited=1, wake=1 IO[0]: enable=1, dir=1, wake=0, sticky=0, data=1, unsol=0 IO[1]: enable=0, dir=0, wake=0, sticky=0, data=0, unsol=0 IO[2]: enable=0, dir=0, wake=0, sticky=0, data=0, unsol=0 IO[3]: enable=1, dir=1, wake=0, sticky=0, data=0, unsol=0 IO[4]: enable=0, dir=0, wake=0, sticky=0, data=0, unsol=0 IO[5]: enable=1, dir=1, wake=0, sticky=0, data=1, unsol=0 IO[6]: enable=0, dir=0, wake=0, sticky=0, data=0, unsol=0 IO[7]: enable=0, dir=0, wake=0, sticky=0, data=0, unsol=0 What should I do for for making a reliable patch.
