ious mixer then it will work better, maybe not completely, but better. This all assumes that you can identify that the mixer is not what ALSA sndstat is reporting it to be. !! If you can report that the mixer identification by ALSA is correct then we can look at other possiblities. Wesley Johnso

1. I asked that someone make it clear whether the BugTracker is for general users, or reserved for developers. Responders seem to get lost on tangents and the question is still unanswered. 2. Other Linux projects have different organizations, so your organization is not that obvious. The SDL proj

[Alsa-user] Home page wiki

2008-08-16 Thread Wesley Johnson
Rene: The homepage is a wiki so it surely does. So getting an ALSA user account lets you modify the ALSA home page at will. There is a concept I do not agree with. Organization home pages should have one manager. I actually thought about posting my bug report in the middle of the home page and

Can the ALSA web page managers please indicate on their pages which ones are for development team members only and which are for general users. I followed a link that said "I found a bug" and it led to the BugTracker page that wanted me to login. It had a button to create a new account, so I t

INSTALL directions for /etc/modules.conf The statement about removing snd- prefixes from some names is not explicit. It led me to believe that I needed to remove the snd- prefix from all alsa names in modules.conf. That DID NOT WORK. Actually it almost worked, it found the old OSS drivers which h

ALSA distribution should include a configure script file that can be customized with settings, and saved by the user. Saving the configure script file is recommended, as the ALSA src directory may get deleted. The configure script file records everything needed to recreate the users ALSA compile.
