Hi All,

I am new to alsa plugins, as previous systems I had 'just worked'(tm).

I now have a SIS based MoBo (PCChips M863G) with a built-in soundcard based on the SI7012/CMI9761. The card has a known issue in that there's no HW mixer for Master or PCM.

The PCM is either ON or OFF, and Master in reality doesn't exist. (Although ALSA *does* define it)

Searching the Internet I found out about the softvol plugin and found some examples as well.

I have tried several versions of asoundrc files, but whatever version I use, I do not get softvol in the OSS emulation.

The latest implementation I have is:

pcm.!default {
  type softvol
  slave {
    pcm "dmixer"
  }
  control {
    name "PCM Volume"
    card 0
  }
}

pcm.dmixer {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 12345678
  slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    period_time 0
    period_size 512
    buffer_size 4096
    rate 48000
  }
  bindings {
    0 0   # from 0 => to 0
    1 1   # from 1 => to 1
  }
}

I am using 1.0.11 on Debian (KnoppMyth). It installed the 1.0.11 from a .deb, but to be sure I also downloaded the source from alsa-project.org and compiled it myself, but no difference either way...

I'd appreciate any help in setting up a working asoundrc so I can use OSS emulation and mixer with the softvol plugin...

TIA!
