[mythtv-users] MythTV not controlling volume with Intel-HDA driver (snd_intel_hda)

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   Has anyone else experienced this problem? On a new machine we got
for our son we are using the snd_intel_hda driver. What I'm finding so
far is that Xine controls volume correctly but  Myth does not.

   I've chosen PCM audio in the setup, but when I change audio from
the keyboard using '[' or ']' volume doesn't change. The GUI shows
volume going up and down but the volume itself doesn't change at all.

   Watching alsamixer at the same time I see nothing changing when
using Myth's volume control. If I adjust the PCM volume in alsamixer I
do not get any volume change, but if I change a control in alsamixer
called 'Front' then I get the volume I'm looking for.

   I'm using /dev/mixer and the mixer controls PCM in Myth's setup. I
don't see how to tell Myth to control Front, nor am I clear why I
should have to.

   Is anyone else using this driver with Myth and getting it to work correctly?

Thanks,
Mark
