My interpretation of this update is that I believe you are trying to suggest that I apply this patch to correct a scaling problem with HDA, Is that what you are trying to communicate?
Also, I understand that this code is or maybe broken but why are we working on Intel HDA when the default ICH AC97 seems to have the problem. I would rather work on getting the defaulted Driver correct.
