Hello guys,

The current situation is: softvol is working well in order to allow me to change the volume using alsamixer. But I do not know how to make my gnome applications use it... any tips?

i.e. the movie player "plays" a song, but no sound comes...

Maybe this question should be moved to a software forum now...

Code:

amixer controls
numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='Master'
numid=15,iface=MIXER,name='PCM Playback Volume'
numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Front Playback Switch'
numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='CD Playback Switch'
numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='CD Playback Volume'
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Playback Switch'
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Playback Volume'
numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch'
numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Volume'
numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Con Mask'
numid=10,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Pro Mask'
numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Default'
numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Switch'
numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='Caller ID Switch'
numid=8,iface=MIXER,name='Input Source'
numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='Off-hook Switch'


More info:
Code:

codersheaven guilherme # aplay -L

    HDA Intel, ALC861 Analog
    Default Audio Device

    HDA Intel, ALC861 Analog
    Front speakers

    HDA Intel, ALC861 Analog
    4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
    HDA Intel, ALC861 Analog
    4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0

    5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers

surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
    HDA Intel, ALC861 Analog
    7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)



Code:

codersheaven guilherme # cat .asoundrc
pcm.softvolume {
    type            softvol
    slave {
        pcm         "hw:0,0"
    }
    control {
        name        "Master"
        card        0
    }
}



This is a Asus w5f.

Tasks executed until now:
Ive compiled the kernel without the alsa drivers, emerged them as described in the gentoo wiki pages and configuring .asoundrc.
