The Goal: I want stereo playback with mixer volume control to four rooms using the MAudio Delta 1010. The MAudio Delta 1010 can be configured to provide 4 stereo pairs outbound (playback). I've successfully got that working (but with no volume control). I can not find any mixer software that has any affect on the volume (envy24control, amixer, alsamixer). The mixers list controls like (`amixer -D room1 scontrols`): 'IEC958',0 'IEC958 Multi',0 'IEC958 Multi',1 'IEC958',1 'Delta IEC958 Input Status',0 'H/W',0-7 'H/W Multi',0-7 'Multi',0-9 'Multi Track Internal Clock',0 'Multi Track Internal Clock Default',0 'Multi Track Peak',0 'Multi Track Rate Locking',0 'Multi Track Rate Reset',0 'Multi Track Volume Rate',0 'Word Clock Status',0 'Word Clock Sync',0 None of the above seem to be useful for controlling volume... Is this normal? Do the Windows drivers have the same problem? If so, I would not have bought this device. I'm really hoping that this problem can be solved! Thanks in advance for any help! - Tor PS - I tried adding this to /etc/asound.conf: pcm.softvol { type softvol slave.pcm room1 control.name Master1 } ... but it never shows up as a new mixer control. Anyway, even if that worked, it's a digital rather than analog adjustment (right?) so I'm worried that it's lossy.
