[alsa-devel] Problems with gain controls

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to disable pulse from making any changes to the
alsa hardware mixer controls?
I would prefer pulse to use software gain controls, and not touch the
alsamixer levels.
pulse seems to do a very bizarre thing. The single master gain control
 within pulse changes both the alsamixer PCM and Master controls.

Kind Regards

James
