[pulseaudio-discuss] pavucontrol. Also Nvidia HDMI
Hi, first I'd like to ask if pavucontrol is still maintained, as the last release seems to be from 2009. If it's not, what is currently considered the official way to adjust PA? If it is: what could be the cause for an application-icon becoming this big: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/4872/screenshotax.png It's an svg, shows correctly in systray and compiz alt+tab. My second question is about sound over hdmi with an Nvidia GTX460 (NVC4 /GF104 family): aplay -L gives hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 -> pcm3p/ hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 -> pcm7p/ hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=2 -> pcm8p/ hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3 -> pcm9p/ but only pcm7p actually does anything. So currently I use load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,7 to add a sink, but PA automatically adds pcm3p as "GF104 High Definition Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI)", so I effectively have two nvidia-hdmi sinks, one of which does absolutely nothing. Is there any way to disable the automatically added sink OR define which device to chose as default? I'm sorry if this question has been widely discussed. Regards.

It is, just no releases for a while. I will be taking over releases for it in the near term, so expect a release soonish. Last commits were fairly recent (in Dec). See: http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pavucontrol.git > If it's not, what is currently considered the official way to adjust PA? Well pavucontrol is a bit of a toy utility really. It wont win any HCI or design awards, but it is rather functional. Most of the time we would recommend using the tools provided by your Desktop Environment (i.e. both Gnome and KDE have native tools to control PA and there are several other addons developed by e.g. Canonical which fit in with their own desktop products (I'm not super familiar with these however)). > If it is: what could be the cause for an application-icon becoming > this big: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/4872/screenshotax.png > It's an svg, shows correctly in systray and compiz alt+tab. Hmm, probably just a run of the mill bug in svg handling. Can you post/pastebin the output of "pacmd list" when this problem occurs? And if possible also send me the .svg itself so I can try and replicate (feel free to send the .svg by private mail or post it on a URL somewhere). > My second question is about sound over hdmi with an Nvidia GTX460 > (NVC4 /GF104 family): The HDMI stuff on Nvidia has seen a fair bit of action of late both on the alsa-devel lists and here. Probably best to ask in a separate thread rather than combining issues. That way people can reply in context and it's easier to follow any resulting thread. Also, you are not subscribed to this list. Please subscribe or you may end up missing some replies. Alternative you can use Gmane.org to read and post via NNTP (that's what I usually do).

If you google nvidia hdmi probe_mask you can find an explanation. For example I have in /etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf: options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x102 ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss

Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] pavucontrol. Also Nvidia HDMI
Thanks Stephen, probe_mask=-1,0x2 works fine for me. I thought this was a pulse-issue, but apparently it's more complex than that. I happen to use pavumixer all the time, the gnome sound-preferences work but screw up read/front and left/right for me. Seems more intuitive and well-designed to me than any other mixer-app so far! I'm going to send the icon in question to Colin. Christopher ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
