Just curious: Why does PulseAudio disable channels? Is this on purpose? Is this a deficiency?
It is some Gnome mixer that told me that no control was enabled, so I enabled all of them and they show up in that mixer. It seems that every mixer has its own data sources (where it will pickup configuration) and that might be a problem. KMix is problem on its own. It works with ALSA directly (or it is over a Phonon), but with PA it shows some amateurish, halfway functional interface. Now I have PulseAudio (PA) installed for n-th time, manually adding just about every package that answered on a search with "pulse" string, and it seems that even with all tools, setup is going to be an efficient time killer :) PA is choosing sources and sinks (output) on its own, and that is probably a big problem when sink is device that exist, but it is not connected to anything that will covert electrical signals to audible vibrations, like my Nvidia HDMI audio built in a graphic card. It is possible to shut down devices like that, but control is well hidden in PA manager, just as about any other manual setting that should override a PA auto detection generated misconception. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
