[Raymond <1357928@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the patch was made for stac9200 and stac9205 and only tested by reporter
with those two codecs

it is a regression of the driver which applied to all sigmatel codecs

Title:
  [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID, playback] volume slider problem - Slide to
  bottom and sound stays off even when slider moved up again

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Audio Mixer panel widget slider (current version) has no "mute"
  checkbox. The 12.04 version had a mute checkbox in addition to the
  slider.

  When the slider is moved to the bottom, everything is muted: Master,
  Headphone, Speaker, PCM. Move the slider up and only Master is
  unmuted.

  My computer has three hardware buttons for audio. The mute/unmute
  mutes but never unmutes. Same issue.

  Known problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/397819/ubuntu-13-10-and-
  xfce4-no-sound-at-all

  With 2012.04 I could just uncheck the mute button and things were back
  to normal. Now I need to open Audio Mixer and unmute everything.

  (It also appears I need to unmute the Headphones to hear sounds from
  the internal speakers.)

  As someone who works in an environment where I regularly need to mute
  this behavior is very annoying.

  1) The volume sliders should never mute.
  2) There should be a mute checkbox.
  3) The unmute options should unmute everything which was muted.
