Description David Campbell 2007-10-08 01:52:49 UTC
Description of problem:

I have a TV tuner with an audio in capability, but even though it does appear in
hal-device-manager with both alsa and oss control devices, and does appear under
sound preferences under Audio Conferencing - sound capture as "USB Audio" (which
is a poor name in my view given that the device does have a name provided via
usb), it does not appear under volume control in any mixers at all, and is not
listed under File/Change Device.

I would expect the input volume to be configurable via volume control.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-media-2.18.0-3.fc7

How reproducible:

Always

ALSA provides the device's name. Check the output of /proc/asound/cards to see
what name is given.

Could you please give the output of "amixer -c X" where X is the card number for
the device?

Comment 2 David Campbell 2007-10-08 10:09:20 UTC
I trust this is the info you need:

[root@Vigor11 ~]# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [ICH5           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
                      Intel ICH5 with ALC650F at irq 17
 1 [default        ]: USB-Audio - TV USB2.0  
                      AVerMedia  TV USB2.0   at usb-0000:00:1d.7-5, high speed
 2 [Modem          ]: ICH-MODEM - Intel ICH5 Modem
                      Intel ICH5 Modem at irq 17
[root@Vigor11 ~]# amixer -c 1
[root@Vigor11 ~]#

Your device doesn't have any ALSA controls.

Created attachment 219601 [details]
screen shot of hal-device-manager showing alsa control device

What do you make of the output of hal-device-manager then as I attach?

Looks like ALSA only handles one of the interfaces on the device (probably the
Control Device), and not the Capture one. Looks like a driver bug.
