Only one channel in alsamixer with pulseaudio

Hey,

I am having an issue with alsamixer since I installed PulseAudio, only one channel is displayed (master) though all channel are displayed in gnome-alsamixer.

Any idea where this come from?

Thank you.

Well, I've been reading those again and again, but no real fix so far.

PulseAudio pretty much work at the moment, I can play multysound output programs at once but I find having only master channel in alsamxier odd.
Its not a real issue since I can configure them through gnome-mixer but I wonders where the problem comes from.

alsamxier says card: PulseAudio
                       chip: PulseAudio

Wonders if its good.

Try alsamixer -D hw:0 (specify the hardware device to control, instead of letting it control the default which you have set to pulseaudio).
