Paul - thanks for the reply but that doesn't seem to work for me. I
tried with the following command,

sudo alsamixer -D equal

It displays the equaliser bands but the labels are in the 0-99 range
with the default values showing as 66.

I wonder if I've stumbled across the answer on this page -
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Eq10 - which I *think* describes the Eq10
equaliser that ALSA is using. It shows a dB range of -48 dB to +24 db
which is a 72 dB range. If I assume that each step in the 0 to 100 scale
is therefore 0.72 dB that would equate to the default value of 66 being
the nearest step to 0 dB (0.72 * 66 = 47.52 dB). That would seem to
imply that it's a linear range but it just means the it only allows
adjustments in multiples of 0.72 dB. 

Does that make sense or is there some other way to get alsamixer to show
dB values?

Thanks
Phil
