Folks, I have a DSP only soundcard (RME 9636). This card has no on-board mixer, so I can not control it's volume by way of a mixer, ie alsacrtl, alsamixer, aumix ect. However I am able to control the volume when using AlsaPlayer, and the gain using the equilizer functions in Xmms. I assume this is done by software control rather then hardware.
My question is twofold: 1) Is there a software mixer that I can use to do this for my whole system as it does in alsa player? In other words a mixer that I could control the volume across the card. 2) I can control the volume in XMS using the equilizer, sort of. There is a 3 second delay before the change and of course it starts at gain +-0 rather than a volume of 0. Why the delay, and is there a plug in that I can get that will allow mw to control the volume using the volume slider? If there is no solution already I might be able to write a plug-in for XMMS or write an equilizer using the AlsaPlayer as a basis, but I'd like to avoid this a s I am new to C. My situation is that I am trying to use my computer as a front-end AND pre-amp sending my card into a D/A copnverter and then into an amp. However this amp will soon be 8 channels at 400 watts per channel. If I can not control the volume a t all times, my trailer may not survive...:) Thanx for all your help, Bearcat _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
