From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When using XMMS to play audio cd's the volume control has no effect on playback volume. This is in my case is because XMMS assumes that your cdrom audio connector is connected to the analog cdrom input, however, many newer soundcards (such as the SoundBlaster Audigy) and other systems can have their cdrom audio connected via an SPDIF connector (SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL_1 in OSS speak for my card) which provides high quality digital audio playback. This problem could be solved if there was an option in the cdaudio plugin to have XMMS use the digital 1 mixer instead of the cdrom mixer channel. Which allows the volume control to actually function as it's intended to. This only applies in the case where "OSS Mixer" is selected. I have tried the CDROM drive volume option and that doesn't work. I've downloaded the XMMS source rpm and and modified the source of the cdaudio plugin to do this (not as an option, since I just wanted proof it could be done, only had to change 4 lines in the plugin). So I know it can be done. I'm even willing to provide a patch that will do this so you don't have to :) I just need to know how you want it to be implemented (interface wise), and if I write it that you will (hopefully) accept the patch if it is satisfactory for inclusion in a later release... Thanks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start XMMS 2. Add tracks from audio cd to playlist 3. Play a track 4. Attempt to adjust volume Expected Results: Volume should be raised and lowered. Additional info:
Has this been solved in a more recent version of xmms? I don't have the hardware so I can't test.
