Hm, this fix doesn't look right, unfortunately.
Aren't those boost values controlled via mixer elements?  If so, they
are silently overridden.

If those controls are exposed to user-space but they shouldn't be
touched, we should rather drop exposing those and keep the original
values.

Last but not least, please adjust the subject line of your patch
mail.  It should have a proper prefix (e.g. "ALSA: hda/conexant: ...")
Also, when you respin the patch, please put a new version prefix, too
(e.g. "[PATCH v2]").  Also, the subject text should be a bit more
descriptive, too (but shouldn't be too long, either).

Moreover, the diffs from the previous submission can be put after the
line "---", so that it won't be taken at applying.


thanks,

Takashi
