When using mplayer without pulseaudio, just with ALSA, mplayer does not recognize the 'Line-in' control on gMixer or alsamixer for either CD or TV. Volume and mute only work with 'Master', 'PCM' and 'Front' in mplayer. I can mute or completely remove 'Line-in' from gMixer without any effect on sound output. The commands I have used to get sound are: ]$ mplayer cdda://1 and/or, ]$ mplayer /dev/video1 I do not believe CD playing or TV are separate issues but are intertwined. Until the basic ALSA bug that is affecting my CD/DVD is fixed, I'll never get to the bottom of the tvtime question. > > the next obvious control choice I have in alsa is 'PCM' > > Why?

Yes I realize that PCM controls the "sample output volume", yet every source of sound I try, PCM seems to play one of the controlling roles. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 22.3.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
