[Bug 45167] Re: snd_hda: Default mixer channel is PCM instead of Front

[Daniel T Chen]

The decision to use 'Front' versus 'Master' is an upstream decision. It
would be extremely unwise to deviate from upstream in this regard. In
fact, the alsa-utils initscript was modified to handle this difference
from AC97 sound devices. It is known that 'Front' is used to control the
volume and not 'PCM'.

The new kernel (2.6.15-23.35) may "fix" the "unknown model" message
depending on your pci id. The message is merely informative and is not
significant.

** Changed in: alsa-utils (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: alsa-utils => linux-source-2.6.15
     Severity: Normal => Wishlist
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
