Comment 2 for bug 65865

Thanks for your bug report.

There is a post on the ALSA driver page for the VIA 8235 suggesting a module option to swap the "Headphone" and "Master" controls:

From http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=VIA&card=VIA+southbridge+AC97+audio.&chip=VIA82C686%2C+VIA8233%2C+VIA8233A%2C+VIA8235%2C+VIA8237&module=via82xx

"You can use the 'ac97_quirk'-option if your volume-level is very low (probably
due to some switching of the headphone and master controls). The options:
    ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware (-1 = default)
                    -1 = default, don't override
                     0 = disable
                     1 = use headphone control as master
                     2 = swap headphone and master controls
                     3 = for AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone"

This does not look like a Totem bug.

Does this module option fix the problem?
