According to Sergio's earlier mail, the firmware has not been successfully updated, so I guess at this point we can blame the firmware. > > I would expect the USB-audio driver to provide a mixer control for > > choosing the routing, unless that's implemented in some non-standard > > way too.

After I sent my previous mail, I realized that I've been assuming that only the rear output (speakers) of the dock works, and the front output (headphones) doesn't, but Sergio never actually said that. So I was talking about routing between the rear and front outputs, but now I'm not sure if that's the problem after all. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
