Hi, sorry for this newbie question but unfortunately I did not find clear information what is necessary to get PA working with ALSA controls. Currently I was able to load the ALSA sound card by calling "pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:2,0" Now I can see the sound card in pavucontrol, but changing sliders does not have any effects on ALSA volume controls. My sound card provides 6 PCM channels. It has a "PCM Playback Volume" control providing 6 channels. I also tried adding a "Master Playback Volume". What is missing that pulseadio uses the card correctly? Is there any best practices for an ALSA driver? Currently my card just lists "hw:" and "plughw:" devices when calling "aplay -L". I tried another USB sound card which also announces devices "surround51:CARD=SET,DEV=0" etc. May this be the key. Thanks in advance for every hint.
