------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-28-07 02:49 ------- All of that is valid to at least some degree, but what it isn't is any kind of bug in Mandrake. Mandrake packages alsamixer; the ALSA team write it. Close this as invalid and file a bug there. :) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I am using the ALSA driver "snd-via82xx" and have these rpms: libalsa-data-0.9.5-1mdk libalsa2-0.9.5-1mdk alsa-utils-0.9.5-1mdk At boot, the driver's channels are all mutes (at zero). Now, if alsamixer is used to unmute them (set non-zero values), it has no effect since no sound can be heard even if alsamixer shows 100 for PCM and Master. However, if some other mixer (such as aumix) is used to unmute the sound channels to any non-zero values, alsamixer starts working fine. In brief, alsamixer cannot increase the volume (Master and PCM channels) if it starts from zero. This is a serious problem since after booting the ALSA drivers are muted and therefore it is impossible to get sound using alsamixer.
