- The two first mixer sliders are both labelled "Front". The first one is in fact the "Master" and the second one controls the volume of the built-in Speakers. (Note: dell-m4-3 has correct labels "Front" and "Speaker", albeit "Speaker" being the last slider instead of the second, but working just as well.)
Could you give alsa-info.sh output? Master should be present in addition. The order of the mixer elements are not important at this stage. The question is whether correct mixer names are provided by the driver. With the very latest driver, you'll "Front", "Headphone" and "Master". The Front controls built-in speaker and docking output (supposedly).
- No matter how I set the sliders in the mixer, the external speakers connected to the docking station line out remain silent.
Plugging my external speakers into the laptop's own line-out activates them and disables the built-in speakers (as expected).
This has to be checked with alsa-info.sh output...
- Switching between built-in mic and a mic plugged into the laptop's own line-in works as follows: For built-in mic, must select DigitalInputSource=DigitalMic1 and InputSource=FrontMic. For external mic, must select DigitalInputSource=AnalogInputs and InputSource=Mic.
The Mux sliders must be up for AnalogInput.
This isn't much changed from the older version. I'll rewrite the code later and simplify this. In future, both "Input Source" and "Digital Input Source" are merged into a single "Input Source" control.
InputSource2 does not seem to have any effect whatsoever.
This is for the secondary capture stream. You can open two streams at the same time (in theroy).
- I guess that the label "Captuer" is a misspelling of "Capture" in both dell-m1 and dell-m3?
Yes. Fixed now in the upstream. Will take some time until the new alsa-driver-kmp gets rebuilt.
- I cannot experience any difference between dell-m1 and dell-m3 now, except for the Front/Speaker-slider as noted under 1) and two additional buttons "IEC958" and "IEC958 Default PCM" which do not have any noticeable effect.
There are indeed only little difference...
(Please note that I am blindly trying all sorts of combinations in KMIX and just see whether Amarok plays or whether a SkypeTestCall works. I have absolutely no idea what the "Mux", "Mixer" and "IEC958" settings ought to do.
"Capture Mux" is named "Boost" volume in other codecs. It adds certain dB level (the unit of 10dB) to the recording level. But, IDT codec seems requirement of this to be non-zero for recording? I'll rename this in future version. "Mixer" is an item to be removed in future. Don't be bothered. "IEC958" is the official name of "SPDIF". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
