Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.80) OS: Linux With newest 4.6b1 I'm missing some features like Tone switch. Without it, I cannot enable tone correction, though sliders for bass / treble are available. They are listed and available in alsamixer and previous kmix from 4.5. Reproducible: Didn't try Sound card: SB Live! 5.1 Digital
Still true for kmix 3.8. Package from openSUSE repos Release:/46 Can turn on Tone switch using alsamixer. AFter that e.g. the Treble and Bass sliders of kmix work as expected.
For further insight into this, please post the following information: - Which sound backend is used. Please copy the output from KMix menu => Help => Hardware information - The ouput of "amixer" (or "amixer -c 1" or any other number that corresponds to the affected soundcard).

Thanks for the quick reply. While I have no such control and can not test it I think I now know what is wrong. I'll give it a quick look right now.
I can reproduce that with my card 2 (amixer -c 1): Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined cswitch cswitch-joined penum Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum I plan to fix it for KDE4.8. Missing controls are quite bad -raising prority.
*** Bug 265733 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
When trying to find the issue I was lead on the wrong path due to a bug in the "amixer" output. I opened a bug report at ALSA. [1] So in the end it was not a "enum vs regular control" conflict, but the KMix GUI simply rejected controls without volume level. I fixed it and will commit it soon. I will also do a backport - at least to KDE4.7. [1] https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5496
Fixed in trunk (targeted for KDE4.8). See bug 265733 for the link to the patch.
Also fixed in branch 4.7 and 4.6.

SVN commit 1270920 by esken: Fix broken Enum controls in ALSA Backend: A "penum" will now get a different ID as a "cenum", so a selem's with both won't interfere. (Adding patch also to 4.8, as it is already fixed in trunk, 4.7 and 4.6 - thanks for the notification, A Rojas).
