Description Tim Hutt 2005-08-20 15:39:21 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

I have 2 sound cards - onboard SiS one and an SB live.

I selected the *actual* master channel ('Wave') with r-click->select channel.

However if you restart kmix it changes this to 'Surround' - three channels before 'Wave'. Restart it again and it remains on 'Surround'.

If I select three channels after 'Wave' - 'Wave Surround' and restart then it changes to 'Wave'.

Selecting the second channel 'Headphone' and restarting means that no channel is selected and the volume is muted at -1%.

It works for my first soundcard (SiS).
Comment 1 Christian Esken 2005-08-22 01:23:50 UTC 
Please create three attachments to your bug report. The first should countain your KMix configuration ( "~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc" ), the second your ALSA configuration ( Output of "amixer -c 0" and "amixer -c 1" ).
Comment 2 Tim Hutt 2005-08-22 19:18:58 UTC 
Absolutement!

This is with 'Wave Surround' initially selected so that it changes to 'Wave' (the one I want - 3 channels previously).

Err, it appears the second card (-c 1) is my bttv TV card, so the sb live is my third card.

I presume the relevant line is: MasterMixerDevice=11
11 is 'Wave Surround' (assuming zero based numbering).
8 is 'Wave' (what is shown as being selected).

This suggests a loading bug rather than a saving one.

Comment 3 Prower 2005-10-23 01:31:25 UTC 
I can confirm that this problem exists with the latest stable KDE packages in Ubuntu 5.10 (i386 release, KDE 3.4.3). My card is an SB Live! 5.1.
Comment 4 baum-im-wald 2005-11-04 21:21:34 UTC 
Well, on my machine, the actual master is PCM, and KMix alway sets it back to Master Mono after restart.

Using KDE 3.5 beta2
Comment 5 Christian Esken 2005-11-16 12:22:36 UTC 
Hello, I ams starting to suspect, what is going on. For this, I need to know, which soundcards/drivers are problematic. Could everybody please send this information:
1) The output of 
        cat /proc/asound/cards
2) The Soundcard names (product names, from the manufacturer)

Thanks for your support

The cards are:

0: On-board SiS of some form.
1: TV Tuner card (possibly WinTV - can't remember now)
2: Soundblaster live.

Let me know if you need more detailed information.

Comment 8 Tim Hutt 2005-12-04 13:12:49 UTC 
Ok, with KDE 3.5 it now forgets the card too and always goes to the first card, and one channel before the correct one.
Comment 9 Elias Probst 2005-12-30 11:59:45 UTC 
Problem exists here too:

###########
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CMI8738MC6     ]: CMI8738-MC6 - C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6
                     C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xd000, irq 11
###########

Soundcard is onBoard (Soyo K7V Dragon plus Motherboard).

When setting the master to "PCM", it's set to "3D Switch" when restarting kmix.

Comment 13 Christian Esken 2005-12-30 14:04:53 UTC 
Thanks to everybody sending in information. I am now able to reproduce the bug, and the problem is NOT emu10k1 specific. Many soundcards might be affected, depending on which channel you choose.
After the first source code analysis everything looks be right, but obviously the wrong master control is being saved.
Accepting bug.

Comment 18 Christian Esken 2006-01-29 23:20:44 UTC 
The bugfix has now been forward ported to KDE4.

Comment 20 Christoph Burger-Scheidlin 2006-02-25 00:07:59 UTC 
I experience a similar problem. The correct device number is selected, but not the correct device. In my case I have a SB Extigy which is the 3rd device (yet the default device for ALSA). The configuration file displays the correct device
MasterMixer=ALSA::Sound_Blaster_Extigy:1
MasterMixerDevice=1
yet when kmix starts up, it selects the first device (the internal intel card), yet with the correct control (in this case the second device which is useless).

Should I open a new bug report, or can this be reopened?
Comment 21 Christoph Burger-Scheidlin 2006-02-25 00:09:09 UTC 
Sorry, I forgot to mention. This happens on Gentoo Linux with kmix 2.6
Comment 22 Christian Esken 2006-02-25 00:36:47 UTC 
Christoph, please first test with KDE3.5.1 or newer. There is a chance that also your problem is fixed there.
If it is not fixed in KDE3.5.1, please open a new bug report.

Comment 24 Marc Schiffbauer 2006-10-16 15:14:45 UTC 
Hi,

Please reopen this bug! I have two Soundcards and one video card:

mschiff@homer:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [V8237          ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
                      VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0x1000, irq 193
 1 [Bt878          ]: Bt87x - Brooktree Bt878
                      Brooktree Bt878 at 0xf9000000, irq 177
 2 [Live           ]: EMU10K1 - SBLive! Value [CT4832]
                      SBLive! Value [CT4832] (rev.8, serial:0x80271102) at 0xb400, irq 209
mschiff@homer:~$

I'm using the SBLive for KDE sounds. I chose the master channel in kmix. But after a restart of kmix it still has the old wrong device. So it seems it does not remember what I chose as master device.

Another Problem: With ALSA, sound device order is likely to change now and then after a reboot. So telling a device number here doesn't make much sense here IMO.So if kmix could remeber a Soundcard name instead of a number that would be fine. Or: If kmix could be told to always use the ALSA default device, That would be nice IMO!

I set my default alsa device like that so that its always the SBLive (/etc/asound.conf):
pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card Live
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card Live
}

Cheers
-Marc
Comment 25 Tim Hutt 2006-10-16 15:54:18 UTC 
Marc, I have the same setup as you, but with an SiS onboard card instead of Via.

I also had the annoying random sound card order problem. I eventually found that it is caused be a slightly stupid alsa config file. I can't remember the exact file, but there is one that alters the bt878 card's device order in some evil way that leads to randomness. If you edit that file you can set the device numbers of all three cards manually and then they will stay fixed.

You can even make the SBLive card 0 which is excellent because then you don't have to go round reconfiguring apps/alsa everywhere.

Let me know if you can't find the file.
Comment 26 Christian Esken 2006-11-26 13:31:57 UTC 
About comment 24 about the "device number". Yes, I am aware of that problem. It is already fixed for KDE4. Unfortunately there is no way to backport that for the KDE3 mixer, so for now you need to follow the workaround Tim described in comment 25.
