I just upgraded my board, and the sound card on it is a VIA 8233 (AC97, snd-via82xx). Anyways, my keyboard hotkeys to increase/decrease the volume don't actually work. I looked into it, and the only thing that has an effect on the "master" mixer is mute/unmute. Volume has absolutely no effect. PCM doesn't either. It seems the only one that has any effect as far as sound output goes is one called "VIA DXS". Moving that slider makes the volume go up and down.
What I'm asking is one of these two things: 1) How can I map the master mixer controls to this mixer? or 2) How can I make my GNOME volume control applet increase/decrease that mixer instead of the master mixer?
