Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

I have reported this bug before, against linux-source-2.6.17 (bug #26150). I have an Acer TravelMate 2313LCi, in which the master volume doesn't control anything, having to change the headphone volume control instead to achieve the desired result (control the volume coming from the integrated speakers). This gets solved if I reload the snd_intel8x0 module with 'ac97_quirk=hp_only' as a parameter, as described in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=196197 (eliminating the headphone volume control from the mixer, by the way).

Attaching output of 'lspci -nv', as someone asked for it the last time.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix for this particular version of the kernel. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
However, the issue that you reported is one that should be possible to test with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed kernel. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .
If you do decide to test with the development release of Ubuntu please comment on this bug report and include at least the minimal information requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

By mere coincidence I decided to update the system presenting this problem when the Tribe 5 of Kubuntu was released, so I'm able to confirm that the problem is still present in Gutsy, and has the same solution ("options snd_intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_only" in /etc/modprobe.d/options). I'll attach the information asked for in KernelTeamBugPolicies.

It unfortunately appears that this bug is not yet resolved. Does this issue still exist in the Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS release? If so, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Alpha2 is also scheduled for release today. It will appear at the following when available: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha2 . It contains the actively developed 2.6.26 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test this upcoming release via a LiveCD and verify if the issue still exists. If so, please include the appropriate debugging information as outlined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems . Thanks in advance.
