[SOLVED] Low Sound Workaround not working anymore

Hi,

I had the Low Sound Workaround from the wiki working before but suddenly the Pre-Amp section is missing in alsamixer. Using amixer Pre-Amp shows up but i cannot set any values to it using "amixer set Pre-Amp". This is what my .asoundrc looks like:

## Software mixing (dmix)

pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}


## Low Sound Workaround

pcm.!default {
      type plug
      slave.pcm "softvol"
  }

pcm.softvol {
    type softvol
    slave {
        pcm "dmix"
    }
    control {
        name "Pre-Amp"
        card 0
    }
    min_dB -5.0
    max_dB 20.0
    resolution 6
}

Best regards

Re: [SOLVED] Low Sound Workaround not working anymore

I managed to get Pre-Amp section showing and working. But the way to get there is really strange:

- first play an audio stream with vlc
- open alsamixer and Pre-Amp is showing but can't modified
- next close vlc and reopen alsamixer and Pre-Amp can be modified
- playing any sound now and loudness can be controlled by Pre-Amp

Has someone a idea why it works that way? For me it is such a strange behaviour.

Now that I saved the state with "alsactl store" the Pre-Amp section in alsamixer is always working, even after a reboot.
