Hi,
Just trying to help a user with a problem and it seems to be down to the fact that his SB Audigy LS does not have a "Master" or "PCM" mixer control.
I asked Lennart about this and he told that Takashi said he wanted to make sure that all devices have at least a Master vol control.
This one doesn't!
Please let me know what you need in order to fix this.
This is with 1.0.17... I can't see anything in the changelog that would suggest this is fixed in the 1.0.18rc1.
Did you update *driver*? Updating alsa-lib won't fix the problem.
Yeah I made sure the user was on a 1.0.17 *driver* confirmed via /proc/asound/version (he was originally confused about lib and driver versions but I corrected him there already!)
The recent ca0106 driver has a virtual master control, so this should have been fixed.
Cool, thanks. Is that post 1.0.17? From you comment about updating the driver, I suspect it was supposed to be in 1.0.17 (/me looks) hmm yes:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.16_v1.0.17#CA0106_dr...
This is odd. I definitely requested that the user ensure the driver version is 1.0.17 (he confirmed it by /proc/asound/version) and then run amixer -c 0 to output the previously attached dump (which does not have a Master).
Any ideas.
Col.
