Bug#582840: aumix: pcm2 cannot be set and remains not seen by command
Hi! Thanks for reporting this, I can reproduce it on my machine. From what I can tell it's not an issue with aumix but more likely an ALSA problem. To investigate further, could you please: a) tell me which kernel version you are using (output of 'uname -a') b) tell me the output of 'aumix -q' c) try a different mixer application (eg. xfce4-mixer) and see whether you have a PCM channel there and, if so, whether it works normally. Please make sure you are using the OSS mixer (eg. in xfce4-mixer, choose the entry that says something (OSS Mixer) in the Sound card drop-down box.

Bug#582840: aumix: pcm2 cannot be set and remains not seen by command
reassign 582840 linux-2.6 retitle 582840 PCM channel missing from OSS mixer API thanks Okay, I investigated some more and this seems to be happening with the latest Debian testing kernel (2.6.32-5-amd64) as well as with latest stable upstream (2.6.34). Since other apps such as Xfce Mixer are also affected (with both kernel versions) I'm re-assigning the bug to the kernel maintainers. Kernel people, I hope you agree with me that this is an ALSA issue rather than an aumix bug. Basically, the OSS compatible mixer API doesn't seem to export a PCM channel anymore. There is a channel PCM2 though which, in my case, can only be set to 0 or max. From what it looks like, OSS PCM2 corresponds to the Headphone toggle in ALSA mixer apps (setting PCM2 to 0 unchecks Headphone in xfce4-mixer, setting it to anything else checks it). In case it matters, I'm using snd-hda-intel with the following hardware: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp. Device 1085 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at fdff8000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel This one might on some level be related to #571253 but since I know nothing about ALSA's internal magic that's just a wild guess :) Also, feel free to reassign back to aumix if you disagree. cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ You are not Grey Squirrel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

tag 582840 wontfix thanks OSS is deprecated in Linux. I recommend that you use a native ALSA utility such as alsamixer instead. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
