Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 Version: 2.6.17-9 Severity: normal Master volume setting isn't working at all, be it through OSS or ALSA. PCM volume setting works only when set directly to ALSA (using alsamixer or gamix), and only if there's no sound daemon (I tried esd and pulseaudio) running. NB: actually I don't need a sound daemon to multiplex sound output, this was just a try.
As soon as I open an OSS mixer (such as aumix), PCM volume set in alsamixer becomes a no-op. In the OSS mixer, the PCM setting behaves as if it was stuck at 100%. After I quit the OSS mixer, PCM control is back to alsamixer. I need OSS mixer working to use GTK aumix, because it's the only heavy-desktop-free mixer software with horizontal volume bars. Unfortunately it's OSS only... This may be specific to my hardware, so here's some info about it: $ lspci -vv ... 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Unknown device 9761 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 209 Region 0: I/O ports at d800 [size=256] Region 1: I/O ports at dc00 [size=64] Region 2: Memory at ff27f800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Region 3: Memory at ff27f400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- ... $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 with CMI9761 at 0xff27f800, irq 209 $ cat /proc/asound/devices 0: [ 0] : control 16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 20: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback 24: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture 25: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture 26: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture 27: [ 0- 3]: digital audio capture 33: : timer $ cat /proc/asound/pcm 00-04: Intel ICH - IEC958 : Intel ICH5 - IEC958 : playback 1 00-03: Intel ICH - ADC2 : Intel ICH5 - ADC2 : capture 1 00-02: Intel ICH - MIC2 ADC : Intel ICH5 - MIC2 ADC : capture 1 00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel ICH5 - MIC ADC : capture 1 00-00: Intel ICH : Intel ICH5 : playback 1 : capture 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.85a tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.17-2-686: true shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.17-2-686: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.17-2-686: false linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.17-2-686: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.17-2-686: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.17-2-686: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.17-2-686: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.17-2-686: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.17-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.17-2-686: false linux-image-2.6.17-2-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.17-2-686: -- Hope this helps, Fabien. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
