Hello;
I am working with an CMEDIA 8738-MC6 and i am trying to gain control of the second DAC by way of softvolume. but i seem to not be succeeding because my application cant find my 'Rear' control, am i doing this correctly?
the original /usr/share/alsa/cards/CMI8738-MC6.conf
CMI8738-MC6.pcm.rear.0 { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string } type hw card $CARD device 1 }
i have modified it to look thusly: notice that the type is now softvol and the original hardware description is encapsulated in slave.pcm
# 2nd DAC CMI8738-MC6.pcm.rear.0 { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string } type softvol slave.pcm { type hw card $CARD device 1 } control { name "Rear Playback Volume" card $CARD } }
Shouldnt i now be able to see 'Rear Playback Volume' in the output of amixer controls ??
as it stands right now, i can not. what am i doing incorrectly?
tnx!
