Well that says it alll. When I try to control muting or levels of input deviced in pavucontrol then it does not work. I can do this with 'alsamixer -c 0'. I use archlinux and I set pulseaudio based on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio I also read http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup and it did not seem to contain something which would help. Playback, Output Devices and Configuration tabs seem to work well. Recording tab results in a pavucontrol crash when I try to mute a microphone which is used by arecord. Anything I do in Input Devices does not seem to have any effect. My system is Linux 2.6.36-ARCH x86_64 AMD. Audio device is ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA). Sofware versions: libpulse 0.9.22-2 pavucontrol 0.9.10-4 pulseaudio 0.9.22-2 pulseaudio-alsa 1-2 (pulseaudio-gnome) local/sdl-pulse 1.2.14-2 alsa-info output is here: http://www.hck.sk/users/peter/pub/alsa-info/alsa-info.txt My brother has exactly the same sofware versions installed but he has a different hardware (an Intel machine with some xonar sound card). It all works well on his machine. I would appreciate if somebody could help me to figure out what is wrong. Peter.
