Hey folks,

I'm having a strange problem with the Alsa mixing controls and my Sound 
Blaster Live (original) card. I searched the board for an answer but could 
find none.

I use different programs on differnet occasions (KMix, Freevo, Xine, Mplayer) 
to adjust my soundcard levels.  The all interact with alsamixer the same way.  
I used the Master, PCM and PCM2 sliders almost exclusively.  By keeping my 
PCM slider at 100, my PCM2 slider at about 90 and adjusting the Master 
control it was all set up perfectly.

The other day I upgraded my KDE environment from 3.2 to 3.2.1.  When i open 
Kmix, I noticed that PCM2 was gone and I had more sliders (Music under input 
for instance).  Now, when I have PCM all the way at 100 where it should be, I 
can not get the volume down to null when adjusting the Master slider.  The 
volume is plenty loud with the Master slider at 0, and there is no change in 
Volume at all until it hits 60.

The weird thing is, the alsamixer program works the same way leading me to 
believe that this is not a KDE problem.  Could KDEMultimedia have overwritten 
my alsamixer sliders somehow?

I'm using kernel 2.6.4, with soundcore as a module and the alsa-driver from 
the stand-alone file (i.e. not from the kernel source). All modules load 
correctly AFAIK.

Alsa-driver: 1.0.0
Alsa-Utils: 1.0.3
Alsa-libs: 1.0.3a

This is kinda a big prob for me.  As one of those nutty audiophiles, I have my 
soundcard running directly into my amplifier.  Since I can never get the 
volume to null, this is very inconvenient for me with a 480 watt per channel 
amp.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.

Thank you,

Bearcat M. Sandor
