The new gnome-volume-control is so cut-down it's not useful to me. In
the quest to be more Mac-like in removing mixer controls
No, it's in a quest of providing *solutions* to user's problems, and not
blindly showing everything the software and the hardware can do.
(and not even
having any obvious "advanced" mode), I now have a choice of no audio or
having full volume LFE output *and* whatever mixer level I have set for
the master output.
The sub-woofer setting works fine here, what's the problem?
alsamixer works fine, but then I can't use the volume
sliders on my desktop and it gets rather awkward.
I still pine for the days of isapnpdump when I had to do all the heavy
lifting by hand, but it worked 100% of the time.
You can still do all the heavy lifting you want. Install the old
gst-mixer, or whatever GUI alsa mixer, just don't expect it to integrate
with the desktop.
