Software volume control should be done only in the main AC97/HDA
mixer.
This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models with a digital
volume knob (when available, not all models have it), as well as
mute/unmute control. The available commands are:
About the ThinkPad Console Audio control:
ThinkPads have a built-in amplifier and muting circuit that drives the
console headphone and speakers. This circuit is after the main AC97
or HDA mixer in the audio path, and under exclusive control of the
firmware.
ThinkPads have three special hotkeys to interact with the console
audio control: volume up, volume down and mute.
It is worth noting that the normal way the mute function works (on
ThinkPads that do not have a "mute LED") is:
1. Press mute to mute. It will *always* mute, you can press it as
many times as you want, and the sound will remain mute.
2. Press either volume key to unmute the ThinkPad (it will _not_
change the volume, it will just unmute).
This is a very superior design when compared to the cheap software-only
mute-toggle solution found on normal consumer laptops: you can be
absolutely sure the ThinkPad will not make noise if you press the mute
button, no matter the previous state.
The IBM ThinkPads, and the earlier Lenovo ThinkPads have variable-gain
amplifiers driving the speakers and headphone output, and the firmware
also handles volume control for the headphone and speakers on these
ThinkPads without any help from the operating system (this volume
control stage exists after the main AC97 or HDA mixer in the audio
path).
The newer Lenovo models only have firmware mute control, and depend on
the main HDA mixer to do volume control (which is done by the operating
system). In this case, the volume keys are filtered out for unmute
key press (there are some firmware bugs in this area) and delivered as
normal key presses to the operating system (thinkpad-acpi is not
involved).
The ThinkPad-ACPI volume control:
The preferred way to interact with the Console Audio control is the
ALSA interface.
The legacy procfs interface allows one to read the current state,
and if volume control is enabled, accepts the following commands:
echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
@ -1121,12 +1165,10 @@ mute/unmute control. The available commands are:
echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
The <level> number range is 0 to 14 although not all of them may be
distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
distinct. To unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume), or
the unmute command.
The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file.
You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver
whether your thinkpad has volume control or mute-only control:
volume_capabilities=1 for mixers with mute and volume control,

This driver was formerly known as ibm-acpi.
Extra functionality will be available if the rfkill (CONFIG_RFKILL)
and/or ALSA (CONFIG_SND) subsystems are available in the kernel.
Note that if you want ThinkPad-ACPI to be built-in instead of
modular, ALSA and rfkill will also have to be built-in.
If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.

---help---
Enables monitoring of the built-in console audio output control
(headphone and speakers), which is operated by the mute and (in
some ThinkPad models) volume hotkeys.
If this option is enabled, ThinkPad-ACPI will export an ALSA card
with a single read-only mixer control, which should be used for
on-screen-display feedback purposes by the Desktop Environment.
Optionally, the driver will also allow software control (the
ALSA mixer will be made read-write). Please refer to the driver
documentation for details.
All IBM models have both volume and mute control. Newer Lenovo
models only have mute control (the volume hotkeys are just normal
keys and volume control is done through the main HDA mixer).
