I think I also rely on this use-case (i.e. telling the mixer which channel(s) to control). I forget the exact names, but my laptop has separate volume controls for the built-in bass and non-bass speakers. In older Fedora releases, this "just worked". In F9 (I think), the mixer (and volume buttons on the front of the laptop) started to control only the non-bass speaker volume, so that the bass volume was always maxed out, which wasn't usable. I had to configure the mixer to control both the bass and non-bass mixer channels together (and I think I had to hack the alsa configuration to actually create the bass mixer channel at all, or something like that) So, is this all handled in a better (i.e. automatic) fashion now, or is the lack of channel selection going to be another regression for me? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
