I have applied the suggestions given, but I have a partially working volume control. That is to say, that the volume control works but without equalizer control. My asoundrc now looks like this: defaults.pcm.!card 1 defaults.pcm.!device 7 defaults.ctl.!card 1 ctl.equal { type equal; } pcm.plugequal { type equal; slave.pcm { type softvol slave.pcm "plug:dmix" control.name "PCM Playback Volume" control.card 1 } } pcm.equal { type plug; slave.pcm plugequal; } With this configuration I can control the volume of my PC but without the possibility of changing settings of the equalizer. It seems that I can have either volume control or equalizer control. But I would like both of them, of course. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
