ALSA: hda - Use "Line Out" name instead of "PCM" when there are
other outputs
In case there are speakers or headphones as well, anything that only
covers the line out should not be labelled "PCM". Let's name it
"Line Out" instead for clarity.

breaks the sound on my dell laptop.
What sound? From the speaker, the headphone or the dock output?
The speaker. I have not checked the other exits
Are you using PulseAudio?
No
What if you adjust/unmute the volume
(likely "Line Out") manually?
running 3.18 alsamixer show these options:
Master
PCM
Mic Boost
Auto Mute mode
PCM affects the volume of the speaker.
running 3.19-rc1 alsamixer show these options:
Master
PCM
Line Out
Mic Boost
Auto Mute mode
Line out now controls the vole of the speaker (this 'new' channel had
volume 0 so did not hear anything). Changing PCM has no effect.
OK, then this is the expected change. It was a bug that we assigned
"PCM" only for the speaker and now it's corrected. Now "PCM" is still
present but this was created by alsa-lib softvol pcm, and has nothing
to do directly with the driver itself. This control is used only when
you play the stream with the dedicated setup, i.e. via "default" or
"sysdefault" device name, not via "hw", "plughw", etc.
Thanks for the explanation and the quick response. The issue can be closed.
