hi,
sorry for off-topic post. I have a Hoontech DSP 2000 (Envy24) based
soundcard.
It works fine with the Envy24 control utility and also to some extend with
the
gnome-volume-control (gnome-mixer). One annoyance is that there is no
master
volume. I've routed PCM1/2 to the digital mixer but fail to find any
control for
digital mixers master volume. Did anyone had more luck with this?

Yes. You need to add a softvol control. The following file will give you
one called "Master" and set up dmix which will allow you to play more then
one stream at once. This file assumes your card is card 0. If not change
the "pcm "hw:0,0" and "card 0" lines. Note that dmix is hardset
to 48khz
so you will need to change your sample rate in your card settings to match
or else things will sound too slow or too fast.
Here's my /etc/asound.conf.
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
rate 48000
format "S32_LE"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 8192
#was 5120
}
}
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave.pcm "dmixer"
control {
name "Master"
card 0
}
}
# change default device:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "softvol"
}
