I disabled onboard sound in the bios
the sound is working but
mixer controls have no effect on volume
is mixer controlling onboard sound instead of soundcard?
if so, how can i change that?
I have the same sound card as you (EMU1 Sound Blaster Live! (Also
Live! 5.1) - OEM from DELL - CT4780) and very recently had the same
kind of experience: the sound was working, but the mixer had no effect
on the volume.
In my case, the solution was woefully simple: I had my headphones (which
I use for speakers) plugged into the wrong output jack. Moving them
from the black 3.5 mm jack to the green one solved my problem. When I
looked carefully at the jacks on the card, I discovered the black one
designated 2 and the green designated as 1.
Mixer lists the following devices: vol, pcm, speaker, line, mic, cd,
rec, ogain, line1, phin, phout, and video. None of them has any
apparent effect on the volume of the black 3.5 mm jack, which kind of
begs the question as to whether it is possible to control the volume of
that particular output jack from FreeBSD at all.
So, if you are using the black output jack, I suggest you switch to the
green one. :-)
Cheers,
Paul.
