Hi everybody!
I bought a Terratec Aureon 5.1 PCI which uses a CMI8738-MC6 chip. I wantto play DVDs in 5.1 surround sound.I already made it do that, but unfortunately the mixer does not give methe possibility to adjust the volume very detailed, which is an absolutenecessity for my setup (which is a real cinema).
So, I thought I could just add an /etc/asound.conf where I split up the6-channel signal, apply the softvol plugin to those 6 streams (whichwould give me 6 sliders in my mixer) and then mix it all back togetherand output it.
As I have never ever done an asound.conf I thought I'd just start with asimple one by just adding a (more or less dummy) softvol control. So Iwrote the following into my asound.conf:
--------------------------------------pcm.softvol { type softvol slave { pcm "hw:0,1" } control { name "SoftMaster" }}
pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "softvol" slave.channels 6 route_policy duplicate}
pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "softvol" slave.channels 6 route_policy duplicate}--------------------------------------
I got that snippet from alsa.opensrc.org, specifically for my chipset,so I thought it should work out of the box.
But unfortunately absolutely nothing happens. In neiter alsamixer noramixer do I get a new control called "SoftMaster".
The config file is not being ignored, because when I add some garbagealsamixer does not start up.
Can somebody please help me?!
