Hi, I am using Debian with a "HDA Intel PCH" sound card (on-board). I want to set the sample rate to 44.1 kHz in dmix in order to prevent upsampling. Without any /etc/asound.conf file I can use the PCM control to change the volume (alsamixer). This is also working: # /etc/asound.conf defaults.pcm.!card PCH defaults.pcm.!device 0 This is not working anymore (PCM control does not change the volume): # /etc/asound.conf pcm.!default “hw:PCH,0 So I guess this is overwriting the default settings. Can I see the default settings somewhere? I can override the PCM control with the softvol plugin, but I am wondering if the default PCM control is also a softvol control or if I override a hardware control with a software control? Is the Master control a hardware control? regards Tobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
