Hi.
I have an ASUS A7V8X-X with a VIA82xx audio controller.
I can hear sound just fine, but I have some questions on this particular
hardware and its driver:
- - Since the assignment from input/output channel to the actual
connectors seems to be flexible, how can change or control these
assignments.
- - In particular, how do I assignment an input channel, since I can't
find a connector for input. With Windows I have no problems to record
anything.
Bye Jochen

There should be mixer controls for this, depending on the codec used
by this board. What is the output of "amixer controls"?

Yes, I thought
so, but neither alsamixer nor kmix give me any clue.

numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Center Playback Volume'

Volumes for the various output jacks. The Master Volume doesn't
control anything but the front jack for historical reasons. Many
mainboards exchange the front and surround jacks because only the
latter has an headphone amplifier.
numid=25,iface=MIXER,name='PCM Playback
Volume'
Volume of sound data from the computer.
numid=19,iface=MIXER,name='Line Playback
Volume'
numid=21,iface=MIXER,name='CD Playback Volume'
numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='Mic Playback Volume'
numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='Phone Playback Volume'

numid=26,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Source'

For capturing.

Mask'
numid=31,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Pro Mask'
numid=34,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA'

S/P-DIF controls.
numid=39,iface=MIXER,name='Surround Jack as
Input'
numid=40,iface=MIXER,name='Center/LFE Jack as Input'
These control whether the other jacks are output or input ports.
(alsamixer will display them as 'mute' controls).
numid=36,iface=MIXER,name='Exchange
Front/Surround'
numid=37,iface=MIXER,name='Spread Front to Surround and Center/LFE'
numid=38,iface=MIXER,name='Downmix'
Various routing options to make determining which channel goes to
which output jack more confusing. ;-)
numid=46,iface=MIXER,name='VIA DXS Playback
Volume'
numid=47,iface=MIXER,name='VIA DXS Playback Volume',index=1
numid=48,iface=MIXER,name='VIA DXS Playback Volume',index=2
numid=49,iface=MIXER,name='VIA DXS Playback Volume',index=3
The VIA AC'97 controller can do hardware mixing with four streams;
these are separate volumes for each of them. (The "PCM Playback
Volume" of the codec is for all streams mixed together.)
