Hmm, right. Your memory is likely better than mine. I'll take another look at that one - tho' I guess it should still be fixed at the alsa level. OK, another mixer question now I've got you listening :D https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212 https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=1204 (alsa-info) This has three "Master" controls (0-2). I'm not really sure what this means! Can you shed some light on it (is it just something that is better quirked in newer kernels?)
