It's cut in alsamixer's display. To check more exactly, make a diff of amixer outputs between working and non-working states. But, what you wrote above is about the SPDIF input, not about the analog input, right? Let's focus on one of them first. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
