The frontpanel is connected and tested under Windows 7. Following extra devices
are connected:
Frontspeaker on green port on the back, backspeaker on black port on the back,
bttv connected to blue line-in on the back. So I can hear the sound of the
tv card without problems. Opening alsamixer reveals a misterious behavior.
I can mute Line-In and the tv card is mute - correct until now. When I
reduce the volume of Line-In nothing happens. But changing the volume of
Mic reduces volume of the tv card on line-in. Not real what someone would
expect.
So I started to test what happens when I connect mic and headphones to the front
panel. I noticed that I cannot mute headphones separate from the speakers. This
doesn't seem to be same behavior as in windows. Not a big problem for now as I
can press the big power off button on my boxes. The big problem is that I cannot
get any sound from my microphone. Not from my boxes and not arecord. I can
change from capture from Line-In to Mic but I only captures the stuff from
line-in. I can change to Line-In and reduce the volume of Line-In and the
volume of the arecord capture reduces. If I change capture to mic and reduce
the volume of mic the volume of arecord reduce. If capture of line in
and reduce volume of mic it will not change the volume of arecord. If I
capture from mic and reduce volume of line-in it will not reduce volume of
arecord.
To summarize: Mic in front does not work at all. Controls seems to be
partly useless and/or confusing.
Another small problem: The volume control doesn't work either. Is it possible
to control it using a daemon which captures events?
All things were tested under windows to test the correct hardware behavior.
Is it a known problem? Should I post the problem somewhere? Has a developer
a X-Fi with frontpanel? Can I gather more data for the developers and post it
somewhere?
Best regards,
Resul Cetin
