I have an Edirol UA-1A usb soundcard, that I started
using in my server
with mpd as a music playing device. Most mpd clients has a volume knob
that worked with the crappy build-in soundcard, but not with the usb
one. I seem to remember that I never saw anything in my gnome mixer for
this soundcard, and also has a vague idea that it simply might not have
a mixer buildin or it's not supported by alsa.
Many USB soundcards don't have a hardware mixer. Generally you can trust
ALSA: If "alsamixer -c <cardnum>" doesn't report any mixer elements,
that the card doesn't have any.
Long story short: Is this just me misconfiguring it
(if so what could be
wrong) or is there a software solution to allow me to change the volume
of the soundcard from mpd clients?
There is a "softvol" plugin you may like:
