 Hi.
 
 I can't qualify it is as a driver bug. At most it is behavior change. 
 There are two signal paths from the DACs to the pins in this CODEC: 
 direct and via the mixer. And there is no volume control on the direct 
 path. In your specific case it is possible to route signal via the mixer 
 and control it there. But present driver is unable to make reasonable 
 selection in such cases. Probably previously driver version did the 
 right thing by accident.
 
 Patch below should probably help in your case, but it is not universal 
 enough to commit it.
