PCM mixer too high / distortion - HDA Intel: Conexant CX20551 (Waikiki)

[Chris Wyatt]

Whenever I adjust the audio from the indicator applet PCM shoots up to between 98% and 100%, this causes distortion.

As a workaround I always set it to about 95% and adjust the master volume using 'alsamixer'.

Needs 0 dB cap for node 0x10:

Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x17, nsteps=0x1e, stepsize=0x05, mute=1

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

There is an existing amp override for 0x10, but the one for 0x1c is missing.
