[opensuse] Strange Alsa problem with SBLive card
hello all , if installed an "old" SB Live 5.1 card in my 10.3 suse system to led me use the waveable features. while testing the "normal" sound feature playing a mp3 , in noticed that the normal volume control in my kmix didn't work correctly. basicly , volume was controled with the "Wave Surround" mixer control instead of Master or PCM control. I validated this with the alsamixer which had the same behaviour. both Master and PCM are not working. the boxes are connected at the back of the card to the rear speaker connection. i just use a plain sterio setup with 2 speakers. i looked around at the alsa site an mailing list , but couldn't find any sollution or even a description of the problem. luc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why don't you plug your speakers into the ffsp?? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

because , a year ago , i also used this card, then running suse 10.1 or 10.0 and it wasn't a issue than. I always used the "black" colered plug to connect my speakers as long as i used this card (since suse 9.3 and have run all series). always used 2 speaker setup. it' could be a hardware problem but i'm not confinced in that. because al functions work exept mixer controls are somehow "mixed up". i read on the alsa site that it is possible to "arange" the mixer control by reprogamming the DSP chip so somehow i feel this seems to be a glitch . luc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard with an integrated MCP55 module, using the hda_intel driver. I have very similar symptoms, e.g. the front mic works only when I set the mixer to record from the line input. My problem only exists under 10.3. In the end I gave up and reverted to opensuse 10.2 where the mixer works flawlessly.

Make sure you file bug reports with Novell on each such issue. There is no excuse for something to be working in 10.2 and broken in 10.3. That is inexcusable - especially now 60 days after the release. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

"inexcusable" ??? There is no need for any excuse at all as long as there is no bug report filed! I wouldn't expect SuSE / Novell or anyone to have available, and test, every possible current or legacy hardware combination. So please file such bug reports, let the guys at Novell know the details, and if there ever would be an excuse needed, you'll find it in there, and then can decide if it is indeed "inexcusable" or not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
