[Alsa-devel] alsactl and alsamixer fail for extigy

Sorry!


When talking to Extigy on the USB bus:

alsactl -f /tmp/foo store
alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control'2,0,0,Digital In Playback Source,0': Invalid argument
alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control '2,0,0,3D Stereo Extender Switch,0': Invalid argument
alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control '2,0,0,Up Down Switch,0': Invalid argument
alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control '2,0,0,Up Down Mode Select,0': Invalid argument

alsactl -f /tmp/foo restore
alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Digital In Playback Source:134521100' : Invalid argument
alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:3D Stereo Extender Switch:134521100' : Invalid argument
alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Up Down Switch:134521100' : Invalid argument
alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Up Down Mode Select:134521100' : Invalid argument

I modified alsactl to mke the foregoing errors non-fatal. That allowed
me to progress far enough to discover other errors, as reported a few
minutes ago.

Alsamixer also dies with "invalid argument".

I suspect this is a driver bug (as opposed to a utils bug) because I
suspect the driver is misinforming the utils as to what controls it
offers.
