Comment 50 for bug 389040

Hi Daniel,

I happened to come across the following thread on the alsa-devel mailing list, "realtec ALC272 support":

http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-May/016917.html

And it seemed to reference a patch to enable audio:

There also seemed to be a series of patches which followed to mute the speakers when the headphones are plugged in:

And then enable the microphone:

Do you have any opinion on if these look sane and if we should push harder to get these upstream? From the thread it seemed communication dropped off due to no longer having access to the hw.

@Antonio, it would be interesting if you could test at least the first patch and confirm if it at least brings back sound.
