Hi, Thanks Raymond and Valentine for your detailed replies. I played with HDA Analyzer GUI but couldn't manage to make headphones work, I am probably missing something again. Would you mind elaborating the details about the steps that I need to follow? For instance, Raymond, with all my respect, I really don't have an idea about how to do what you want me to do. (E.g., "create a alc269_r590_mixer which has HP playback switch at 0x21, remove the mono playback switch by using the alc269_base_mixer for your new model alc269_r590") A last push would be really helpful. Regards.
