Summary:                    No mute controls for Audigy or Audigy 2ZS
Description: 
The problem has been around for while, but have only just got around to
reporting it (incidentally, where do I search for previously file bug
reports?).

I have three computers, all with various flavours of Audigy cards, all
using the latest emu10k1 alsa driver. The problem also exists with the
in-kernel audigy driver. Googling for other people with the same problem
suggests the problem crept it quite a while ago.

No matter what UI is used, I can't mute most channels provided by the
audigy driver. For instance, in alsamixer I can only mute Headphones,
Line, CD, Phone, PC Speaker and Aux. ALl other channels are without mute
toggles.

The upshot of this is that mute controls in almost all alsa apps doesn't
work and the only way to mute the channel is to manually set master or PCM
volume to zero.

I read of a bug with one of the intel sound drivers that lost most of the
mute controls, maybe this is the same sort of thing.

Apols for the numpty reply, but what are the instructions for patching the
driver source? I've not done much kernel haXx0ring myself. I tried patch
-p0 against emufx.c, but when that fails I'm a little bit lost...!

Thanks for devoting the time and effort into all of this :)

P.S. Is the 1361T chip the one inside the Audigy LS?

I think 1361T is in Audigy 4.

The simplest way is:
Get alsa-driver package - from www.alsa-project.org.
extract it somewhere
change dir to alsa-kernel dir in (should be in "somewhere" dir)
patch -p1 < path_to_patch
configure
make
make install
restart alsa (/etc/init.d/alsasound restart)
