$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec Codec: Realtek ALC269 Codec: Nvidia MCP79/7A HDMI
Which, I think, means that MCP79 only controls HDMI audio output. I was looking at the wrong place all this time. This card is not shown when I run lspci. Anyway, I quickly searched the web and found nothing relevant but that: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2010-February/00.... However, this error doesn't exist in the current kernel.
I'll try the parameters for ALC269. There are a few in that link, including two related to eeepc, and no parameters to MCP79.

I tested all parameters. Two of them give me interesting results: quanta gives me control not only of the internal mic but also of the external mic and basic gives me control of all of it and the front speaker. In both cases alsa daemon gives and error related to the NVIDIA chipset but everything works. Sound volume didn't change with any parameters. Also, alsamixer says it is using the NVIDIA MCP79 and I can't change the sound card by typing F6. Now I'm just confused and again wondering if the sound isn't just that loud. -- Rafael Beraldo http://cabaladada.org
