Version: KMix: 1.91 (KDE: 3.1.90 (CVS >= 20030225)) (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 20030322 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.2-r3, propolice) Gentoo Linux 1.4 OS: Linux First off, I apologise for the broken english in the title :\ I'm running KDE from CVS (updated KDE-Multimedia this morning (5/June/2003). I have a FM-801 Sound card running ALSA from a 2.5 kernel (2.5.69-mm1). Previous to this, I was running KDE 3.1.1, and the mixer in that was perfect. It used the OSS mixer (I assume, as the mixer in the CVS KDE has a whole lot more sliders to control). Anyway, as soon as I run KDE-CVS, it renders my sound devices totally useless. They are all there, and they are all taking data from music programs, but I cannot change the volume of any of the devices, even from externel mixers (alsamixer, ermixer etc...). However, If I start my PC and don't load KDE-CVS, I can change the volume from KDE-3.1.1, or any external mixer and it works fine. It's just KDE-CVS and it's attempted mixer control that seems to break everything. I only have the one soundcard, but the Kmix in KDE-CVS seems to think I have 2 (well, two mixers anyway). Any help appreciated. Thanks, Chris.
I see that you are running KDE CVS. Can you please update and re-test with current KDE CVS. The "2 mixers" problem should definitely be solved, and I would like feedback about your other problem. Thanks, Chris
I also have this problem. I am using kernel 2.6-test9 with ALSA compiled in. When I open KMix there is no mixer panel available, and if I try to create one there is no available mixers in the dropdown button. I am not using OSS emulation. Anders
Hmm.. This might not be entirely applicable to my problem after all. Do you need a special configure option to get access to native alsa mixer panels in kmix?
No, you do not need a special configure option to get access to native alsa mixer panels. What you need is a recent KMix version (from KDE CVS, which will ship with KDE3.2). This version has no means to manually create a mixer panel anymore. It automatically creates the Panels. Chros
Please, you can't expect people to just use cvs. I use debian sid which currently contain some kind of mix from different versions of KDE. KMix is currently version 3.1.2. The problem here is that it needs to be configured with the options ./configure --enable-audio=oss,alsa --with-alsa There is a debian bugreport for this here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=223768 Regards Anders E. Andersen
Good idea about the bugzilla mailout. Had forgotton about this bug. RESOLVED :)
