Hi,

I do not know if this would be of any help, but my alsa dmix configuration is
located in /etc/asound.conf and it is pretty similar to your
.asoundrc, here it is:


pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024
        slave {
                pcm "hw:0,0"
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024
                buffer_size 8192
                rate 44100
        }
        bindings {
                0 0
                1 1
        }
}

ctl.dmixer {
        type hw
        card 0
}

Maybe you need to add the last section (ctl.demixer) ???

Cannot comment on the apps you've mentioned (alsamixer, kmix, kamix), but I use
XFCE's mixer with no problem.
Are those applications using the "default" plugin as output? AFAIK
each app has to be configured to use the "default" output when using
dmix.

I know, this may not be very helpful, but I cannot think of anything else...

Good luck,

- AR

If the truth can't set you free, a lie will save you.
