[alsa-devel] [bug] Volume at maximum when track with different frequency is played with my RME sound card

[Maeda]

Hi Takashi !

Sorry for the late answer. I do compile the 'test' kernel after editing 
the file with the three lines as you said on your previous mail.

The result is that the bug isn't occurring anymore, tested with 96KHz 
sample :

`aplay -fcd -d3 /dev/zero ; aplay -fS32_LE -r96000 -c2 -d3 /dev/zero ; 
speaker-test -c2 -twav`

_BUT_, I only have the right speaker that works, I need to change the 
volume to restore sound on the left channel.

Maeda.
