Doesn't the ALSA plugin always end up hiding things PA doesn't > think you need? No. PA doesn't 'hide' anything from the ALSA interfaces (and hence tools). It's just that, with alsa-plugins-pulseaudio installed, the default ALSA device is not your physical sound card, but the virtual device PA creates. Plain 'alsamixer' always shows you the default ALSA device (all ALSA tools assume the default ALSA device if you don't specify some particular device), so if you just do 'alsamixer' you're not seeing some PA-nerfed view of the controls on your actual hardware adapter, you're seeing the actual complete set of ALSA controls that exists on the PA 'card' (which, obviously, isn't many). 'alsamixer -c0' just tells it to show you the control for card 0, instead, which will usually be the actual hardware adapter you want to adjust (on systems with multiple hardware sound devices you may have to go with -c1 or -c2 etc). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
