alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #205 was opened from WolsYang:

**I had try the way in this issue, but not work for me : (**

**helem (MIXER,'Master Playback Volume',0,1,0) appears twice or more cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument**#47

**In default I only can play sound with Back port**

**Here is my computer audio port look like.** |codec | ALC888-VD | ALC888-VD | |:-------------|:----------------:|:----------------:| |position | Back | Front | |Function | 0:Line Out, 1:MIC | 0:Line Out, 1:MIC| |Port Num | 2 | 2 | |HW:dev|0:0|0:2| |/sys/class/cound|hwC0D0|hwC0D1|
