Good to know that it works for you. > My alsa-info can be found here: http://pastebin.com/RaxrnZKK > > Should I try with branch 'test/hda-gen-parser' (what is the difference, > BTW?) No, it's not needed. test/hda-gen-parser branch contains the development of the generic parser and Realtek codec driver, but it doesn't include the migration patches for other codec drivers to use the generic parser. So, on this branch, AD codec still uses the old driver. > Anything else to test? That's enough so far. Let us know if you find any regressions. > When can we expect patches from sound-unstable to appear in main kernel? Yes, the plan is to merge the stuff to 3.9 kernel. But currently I'm not sure whether we can merge the whole patches. It's a fairly big change, and we need a bit more test coverage for codecs like Conexant, Cirrus and VIA. But, judging from your test result, we can merge the Analog codec patch, at least. thanks, Takashi
