The solution for Bug 22876 would also work for me. But it would still be hack. The mixer that is called the master-volume does *nothing*. Not even if I mute it.

The only way to control all the volume is using the PCM mixer. (although I'm not sure that also controls things like cd-player or line-in which I don't use). Which is fine, except now, i can't use my hotkeys to change the volume, or to mute at all: since they are hard-wired to control the master-volume.

The master-mixer never worked anywhere for me: including using Knoppix, Ubuntu and DSL. So it shouldn't be gnome-specific.

I'm going to track down that softvol-plugin now. If it works I'll let it know here. In that case you might want to enable that plugin by default for this branch of VIA-soundcards.
