ICH5 - CMI9739A - AC'97 sound driver support

[Saravanan Subbiah]

I am trying to make sound work in my motherboard with CMI9739A chipset.

The driver from c-media works but freezes my SMP (HT) kernel.

So I tried the i810_audio driver in 2.4.22-ac4 kernel. This driver works
but I cannot change the volume. It always outputs at high volume
irrespective what level I set.

I even tried alsa driver snd-intel8x0 and got the same result. no volume
control support.'

I read somewhere that this is a basic deficiency in the codec and that
the driver has to "something special" to achieve this ? Is it true ?
Is someone looking into this ?

If someone can give me some pointers, I can look into this.

thanks,
Saravanan
