[Alsa-user] Clevo X7200 sound issue

[Matti J. <mij...@cc...>]

I have a Clevo X7200 (ICH10 ALC888) and snd-hda-intel doesn't work very well
with it. When left without options, alsamixer (and kmixer) seems quite
correct for 7.1 sound but despite setting all sliders to max, sound is so
faint that it's barely possible to notice. When the option model=auto is
given, sound can be heard but not from all speakers and only front sliders
are shown in the mixer. Finally, whilst the function keys for adjusting
volume work and the change can be seen in the mixer, the volume leds on the
laptop do not change and remain at minimum volume, which might be related.
