Before installing pulseaudio, I was able to control volume for the front (meaning on the front panel, the "headphone" jack) and rear (meaning on the back panel, the "line out" jack) separately.
When I installed pulseaudio, it became possible to control volume for each playing process separately, but the individual controls for outputs disappeared.
While the default
device in alsa now routes via pulseaudio, the sysdefault
device provides access to the hardware. But kmix does not seem to let me show them now. Is there any way to beat kmix into showing the sysdefault
device too? Or something else X-based that would not fight with kmix too much?
The system is Debian Jessie (testing) amd64, updated, KDE version 4:4.13.3-1.
