Hi, I don't think this is acceptable workaround. If there is a bug then it's better to fix it instead of trying to hide the symptoms. In addition special characters (like '#' and '@') are reserved for special purposes. Mixer names can only contain alphanumeric characters and few special characters such as ':', '-' and '_'.
Can you e-mail me the full printout produced by the ossmix command (without any arguments). Best regards, Hannu ------ Stiletto wrote: > On my VIA HD Audio i have some controls with same name.
