From: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 7d1b6e29327428993ba568bdd8c66734070f45e0 ]

The ALC256 does not have a mixer nid at 0x0b, and there's no
loopback path (the output pins are directly connected to the DACs).

This commit fixes an "num_steps = 0 for NID=0xb (ctl = Beep Playback Volume)"
error (and as a result, problems with amixer/alsamixer).

If there's pcbeep functionality, it certainly isn't controlled by setting an
amp on 0x0b, so disable beep functionality (at least for now).
