Hi
My laptop has a Sis Azalia sound chipset. And default the sound volume
is pretty low. As a workarround i use pulseaudio on top of alsa with
ladspa amp.so plugin to increase volume.
I found out that one can use ladspa plugins directly in alsa and i am
trying to do so. But for some reason things are not working when i try
to use ladspa in alsa.

However if I use plug:azalia_dmix instead of azalia_plug sound works.
So i feel its some problem with using ladspa. I have tried other
ladspa plugins too but they also have the same error.
Here are my specs: -
