Description Joseph Shraibman 2012-04-10 05:57:33 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm having a problem in my setup where I can't use my microphone.  The only available input channel is audio capture.  Kmix only has audio capture under input channels and a master output volume control, the same controls as alsamixer w/o arguments (the "default" sound card, whatever that is).  I want to be able to have all the settings that are shown in "alsamixer -c0" and have access to my microphone.

According to the online help in kmix under the Settings submenu there should be a "Configure Channels" menu but I'm not seeing it.  Either the KDE handbook is wrong or there is something wrong with kmix.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdemultimedia-4.6.5-2.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:
always


Additional info:
If I remove /etc/asound.conf I have access to my microphone but then only one program can output sound at a time so I had to put it back.

Comment 3 Joseph Shraibman 2012-04-10 16:50:39 UTC

So "Select Master Channel" is omitted on purpose if pulseaudio is found?  Shouldn't it be greyed out instead to avoid confusion?

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2012-04-10 20:57:06 UTC

One could argue your suggestion to be more confusing.

Why is it greyed out?  why can't I select it?
