I have an ad1986 based card (snd-hda-intel) and I asked in this list about a similar feature many times.... but nothing! My card hasn't a master control at all, it has only front, surround and center controls. Perhaps I arranged to use a script that calls amixer three times modifying the three controls together, but this is a weird hack..... There is an alsa plugin called softvol.. we could use it, but it's like the pcm control, it changes only digital sources (applications that use alsa..). Please tell me if you find other solutions ;-) 2007/1/7, Ville Mattila <ville@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello, > > I have installed ALSA to my Debian box and have also 5.1 surround sound > over SB Live 5.1 Platinum.
