I am not sure what's the actual fix would look like. I wasn't followed the alsa development for a long time. Is there a way to consistently replace the softvol controls? If so, then there is a bug somewhere. Also, the snd-pcsp is configured to use the "asym" plugin - I wonder if it is safe to replace also that. So the question is: can _all_ the plugins be safely replaced by the software that opens "hw", or, maybe, some are not, and then, they should be somehow mandated? >> Is this possible? > No, and it would still be unhelpful since it would leave you with two > soft volume controls in operation. > But this is not a real problem, this is the same as if you have the volume control in the hardware. You then also have 2 volume controls, or more. And pulseaudio can just check whether or not the volume control is present, and then simply not to add its own. I dont think this is a real problem. The real problem is when the mixer bar doesn't work at all. :) So what the real fix do you think of? _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
