Hi
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.
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?
I have an Edirol UA-25 and it has no software mixer, so I guess the
UA-1A might not have one as well. I'm using pulseaudio with a simple
applet for the gnome panel to control the overall system volume, but I
don't think this will work with mpd. Apparently it might:
http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Features says there's a pulseaudio output
plugin. Also says it can do software mixing. Hm. Perhaps this does what
you want, but seems a bit complicated for such a simple task:

Hope this helps,
