Slackware Aspireone 722 audio problem

Hello Community.

I hope you can help me with this problem, I have an Acer Aspire One 722 with Slackware 13.37 installed, but I have a problem with audio... Kmix and alsamixer only show Master, Mic 1 and Mic 2 channels... So when I plug in my headphones sound still keeps comming through the speakers and there's no way to mute then.

I've been searching all over the internet but it seems nobody has installed Slackware on this laptop :p

Here are some outputs

Code:

lspci | grep Audio

00:01.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Device 1314

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)

I have installed Slackware 12.2 and it is racing like a stallion that never dies.

You will need to install the right ATI*.run driver it is available in the web. However, I have no experience installing Slack 13.37 (version number itself tells us it has need some minute debugging yet).

I thought those .run were only for dislpay ? Anyway that was the first thing I installed because I couldn't start kde without it.

Have you tried alsaconfig to see if it worked for you?

Yes, alsaconf recognizes the card just fine but then alsamixer only shows "master", "mic1" and "mic2" channels.

delete /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and then reboot

No good, still get same channels.

I managed to find a workaround to this issue by using a tool called hda-verb and a nice little script that I found in this forum https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1016346 post #4
