Created attachment 58262 [details] Output of "amixer -c 0" command Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux I have a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy4 (Audigy2) card. Kmix don't show some channels and switches in Configure channels | Available channels in ALSA mode. For example missing switches for "Tone", "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack", "IEC958 Optical Raw", but presented and worked in alsamixer correctly. I am tried to erase kmix config and profile files, but nothing changes. As result i have no sound (needs to switch sound card from digital to analog mode, via muting "IEC958 Optical Raw") System: Linux Mint 10 KDE KDE 4.6.0 Kmix 3.8 PS Sorry for my english Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I am testing on LiveDVD (Linux Mint 10 KDE) 1. Close Kmix application 2. kill and remove pulseaudio 3. Configure phonon to use Alsa 4. Start Kmix 5. Open Configure channels Actual Results: I am not found needed channels and switches Expected Results: There should better work with available channels list In previous versions kmix worked very well.

Hello there, I am having the same problem with my older Audigy card as soon as i upgraded from KDE 4.4 to 4.6: All items that appear as switches on alsamixer, and which amixer reports as "Capabilities: pswitch", do not show up on kmix *even though* they are listed in kmixctrlrc! Here is an example with the "Tone" switch mentioned above: amixer: Simple mixer control 'Tone',0 Capabilities: pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Mono: Front Left: Playback [on] Front Right: Playback [on] kmixctrlrc: [MixerALSA::SB_Audigy_1__SB0092_:1.DevTone:0] is_muted=false is_recsrc=false name=Tone Yet, "Tone" does not show up on kmix's GUI as an option. System: Gentoo Linux KDE 4.6.2 Kmix 4.6.2 % cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xf9ff8000 irq 22 1 [Audigy ]: Audigy - SB Audigy 1 [SB0092] SB Audigy 1 [SB0092] (rev.3, serial:0x531102) at 0xe880, irq 17 Many thanks for looking into this... It is quite important to fix because it has side-effects such as that the keyboard shortcut for "mute" no longer works!

Thanks for the report and the amixer output. I see there are actually unsupported control types: a) Simple mixer control 'Tone',0 Capabilities: pswitch penum I would guess that KMix shows the "enum" but not the "switch" b) Simple mixer control 'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum Again, only "enum" is shown. c) "IEC958 Optical Raw" Same as a)
Can you confirm that the "enum" is shown and the switch is not?
Fixed in KDE4.8
Hi Christian, Sorry for not checking out your work earlier...... The problem has been partly solved, in the sense that the switches now do appear under the "available channels" in kmix's channel configuration window, and i can select them. However, when i define the mute button in the "configure shortcuts" window, it does not work: It *is* accepted in the configuration window as a global shortcut, but when i push the button it does nothing. I note that, by contrast, the "increase volume" and "decrease volume" keyboard shortcuts do work. Apparently kmix fails to identify the mute functionality with the "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack", which is the name of the switch that seems to mute the card's output.
