Can you do a proper screenshot please? I enjoy the tiger, but it is not the subject of the question.

To me it looks like false mapping. Perhaps you must provide the correct model setting to your audio driver if it is supported > Identify your card here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Creative_Labs and write back with exact model. The one you cited (SB Audigy Rx) is not in the list.

You can get the model by lspci | grep Audio if it is pci card or better cat /proc/asound/cards

From the screenshot I assume you have: Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Value, so perhaps this here helps: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-emu10k1

The screenshot is only partially visible. There is no master channel. It reports as Audigy2, so quite messy

If there is no information, as this is the alsa project page, it would mean it is probably not supported. So why would someone in TDE be able to help you.

You better ask for help in the ALSA project/user list.

You did not provide any information about kernel or OS.

Are you not using pulse audio?

On the alsa page there are some instruction how to configure the devices properly, so that you have consistent mapping.

It could be something in kmix, but I doubt it.

But based on your input, this http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2014-08-26-creative-sound-blaster-audig… and this http://alsa.opensrc.org/Emu10k1 https://wiki.debian.org/snd-emu10k1> I think you need at least custom setup to the driver (and perhaps newer kernel version). This way the chance for the driver reporting usable setup is higher.

I think you have to solve this and come back. Perhaps alsamixer can resolve some of the reported features better than kmix, which does not mean that what is reported is correct.>> I see there is a lot of information on the web regarding your card. I am not an expert in alsa, but I would look first in this direction. Try at least setting up your device values properly.

You have to be at least cooperative to assist the developer to verify and investigate. For example I see this function in kmix, and it will be interesting to know what your system reports. Especially the "Master" is of interest as you complain, you don't see it. It could be a problem in the kmix code, related to the values reported for this chipset. Assuming alsamixer does it right we have a reference, but someone should look and test. Preferably this is you :) But I can not do it here in the list. Either debug yourself or get a ticket opened. You can attach our discussion to the bug.
