Hi, re Carlos A. M. dos Santos comment:
The amd5536.c informs that it is derived from Bruce R. Montegue's AMD
CS5530 audio driver and the Linux CS5535 ALSA driver. I did not find
the original source files, but supposing that they are licensed under
GPL you will need a written permission

This is Andrew Gray. I am running an Alix-1C board with the CS5536 on it.
This board is very nice. It's only about $138 and it has a good standard

It uses only 5 watts and has everthing including

Hi, very likely you have hit a known issue on the
