Hi Duncan, The Freevo box is directly connected to a 5.1 speaker system. When I open alsamixer on the terminal, I can control the global volume of the whole system with the "PCM" channel.
However, when I'm on the main menu of Freevo, I can control the volume using the remote Vol+ and Vol- buttons. When I press one of these, the Freevo OSD will show that it's changing the volume, but no alsa line gets modified. I'm thinking that maybe the volume control is not using ALSA at all. Do I have to install some command line tool for this to work? Here's the output of the -i command: Name: alsamixer Type: DaemonPlugin File: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/plugins/alsamixer.py Description: ------------ Mixer for ALSA, requires pyalsaaudio module from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyalsaaudio/ Plugin configuration variables: ------------------------------- ALSA_CARDID: Alsa Card id Default: hw:0 ALSA_LINE_CARDID: Alsa Line Card id Default: hw:0 ALSA_MIXER_NAME: Alsa Mixer Name Default: Master ALSA_PCMMIXER_NAME: Alsa PCM Mixer Name Default: PCM ALSA_LINEMIXER_NAME: Alsa Line Mixer Name Default: Line ALSA_MICMIXER_NAME: Alsa Mic Mixer Name Default: Mic The plugin is loaded with the following settings: type=default, level=10, args=None - Benedikt This message is digitally signed by a PGP key, to verify it's authenticity.
