The problem is that the card has a 6-channel Master control that alsamixer converts into three controls, including "Master Front" that confused us. Unfortunately, PulseAudio cannot handle such controls. There is a FIXME about this: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/modules/alsa/alsa-mixer.c#n1603 To Clemens Ladisch: sorry for falsely blaming you about this bug. To Nikos Chantziaras: until this is fixed, you'll have to live with software volume control. To make the desired hardware Master volume persist across reboots, please follow these two steps. 1. alsamixer -c0, set it to the desired level. 2. sudo alsactl store -- Alexander E. Patrakov
