[alsa-devel] No controls in alsamixer

[Riccardo Casagrande]

Hello all,


following this thread http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2016-May/108068.html I added a new sound card without codec. On my board the i.MX6Q chip puts audio data directly to some ST FDA2100 power amplifiers.
The sound card is listed correctly in alsa but in alsamixer there are no audio controls, I need a volume control. I tried to edit asound.conf file with this part


pcm.softvol {
  type  softvol
  slave {
    pcm "hw:1,0"
  }
  control {
    name  "SoftVol"
    card  1
  }
}

ctl.softvol {
    type hw
        card 1
}


This is part of logs during the boot

Sorry but I'm new in alsa and linux in general.
