EMU10k1 PCM which is the one which controls all 5.1 channels is just available while sound is playing (and is available twice, one for R and one for L ) ...... the default PCM, which is always available, just controls front L and front R channel ..... (also the default master and wave does control that) and when sound stops from ANYWHERE (xmms new song, an effect in a game is played, etc) EMU10k1 PCM resets to 100% can't do anything about that ..... i already use alsamixer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
