Comment 30 for bug 21574

An update: as someone else has mentioned: at some stage this problem was fixed, and at least for me in the 2.6.19 kernel the problem had gone away. Since upgrading to 2.6.22.9 the problem has come back again on my nw8240.

I have no idea what actually fixed the problem or exactly which kernel version it was fixed in, or exactly when it came back.

See my notes at:

I will try and put up some more detailed information. As explained there, you can fix it by hacking your hardware, but that is not really an ideal solution.

The main problem is I don't know where the extra signal comes from that turns the amplifier off so I am no closer to knowing how to fix it. I also do not understand why they have bother having this signal since it is already controlled from the AC97 codec anyway.

Help!
