This makes me think that kmix does not assume the use of USBDAC, but I don't know anything more than that.
Masaru, Are you running Tumbleweed? The reason I ask is this, when I use other sound managers like wireplumber (I can't recall which I used last to look at cards, sources, sinks, etc..), I'll get "Cannot get card index for 1 ..." for all indexes I don't have a sound card for. "card index 0" is the only one I have, so that may be normal diagnostic notifications. Also, if you are running kmix and volume control doesn't work, but mute/unmute does -- that may be a problem with how alsa is built. Since KDE3 kmix is looking for oss, alsa, I can't explain why pipewire-alsa isn't needed on my Tumbleweed install, but sound works just fine without it. So some part of the sound setup is routing to/from kmix just fine without it. I'd hate to tempt fate by even installing it -- it may flip a config setting and gift me a few more headaches :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
