It's feature request. We haven't designed abstract mixer layer at the
moment,
but you are allowed to control fully hardware anyway. If you cannot mute
completely the rear speakers, then it's probably hardware problem.

After a long discussion in alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net about this
problem a member of the list (Christian Haertwig) send me a patch to the
emu10k1 driver that adds a volume control called 'Digital Master' and is
able to control all 6 channels of the card.
This is a part of the mail he send to me:
---------------------
A "good" (where good means pretty easy to realize) fix *is*
available. I have attached the patch file that does the job. You need to
recompile alsa drivers that for. with the Patch included you will have a
new
volume slider that indeed sets the overall volume for all channels. Since
i
am no developer i cant tell you exactly why this patch is not included in
the
drivers, but for emu10k1 and sb live i have found out it works great. i am
using it with alsa-driver and -lib version 1.0.10 and have had no *real*
issues yet. unfortunately i know people reporting that this patch causes
the
overall output volume to be a bit quiter than normal, but i cannot
confirm.
Thanks again to whoever has send that patch to me.
---------------------
I tested the patch and it appeard that it doesn't work for me.
When playing 2-channel sound my left front speaker was muted and when
playing 6-channel sound the rear left speaker was muted.
After a suggestion from Lee Revell I played arround with the
SND_EMU10K1_GPR_CONTROLS and made it work when leaving this setting to 44
and not changing it to 46 as the patch did. After these changes everything
works fine. A new volume called 'Digital Master' can control all channels
of the card. I have tested the card only in analog mode, as I don't have
digital speakers.
If this is working for You give some feedback.
I'm attaching the original patch I was send as accourding to Christian it
works for other people. If it doesn't work for You try changing the
SND_EMU10K1_GPR_CONTROLS as I did.

Can someone take a look at this? It would be great to get this very old
bug fixed for ALSA 1.0.11.
The new control is misleadingly called "Digital Master" because the
existing "Master" control only affects the front speakers. IMHO this
needs to be changed to "Front" and the new control "Master".

Could you forward the patch to alsa-devel so that we can review and
fix it?
alsa-user is not a right place to post a patch intended for merging to
upstream...

Summary: Master volume control only controls front speakers
Description:
The master volume control has no effect on the rear speakers.
The rear speakers can be controlled by "Sigmatel Surround" but not
completly muted.
I use "Sigmatel 4-Speaker Stereo" to get sound on all 4 speakers. The
speakers are plugged into both output plugs on the soundcard.
I tried all volume controls that are provided, there seems to be no master
control.

If you want to mute the rear speaker, the simplest way is to turn "Sigmatel
4-Speaker Stereo" off.
The name of the control should be named according to the slots assigned to
the pcm
It depend how stac9708 is configured - multi-channels programming register
74h.

It's feature request. We haven't designed abstract mixer layer at the
moment,
but you are allowed to control fully hardware anyway. If you cannot mute
completely the rear speakers, then it's probably hardware problem.

After a long discussion in alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net about this
problem a member of the list (Christian Haertwig) send me a patch to the
emu10k1 driver that adds a volume control called 'Digital Master' and is
able to control all 6 channels of the card.
This is a part of the mail he send to me:
---------------------
A "good" (where good means pretty easy to realize) fix *is*
available. I have attached the patch file that does the job. You need to
recompile alsa drivers that for. with the Patch included you will have a
new
volume slider that indeed sets the overall volume for all channels. Since
i
am no developer i cant tell you exactly why this patch is not included in
the
drivers, but for emu10k1 and sb live i have found out it works great. i am
using it with alsa-driver and -lib version 1.0.10 and have had no *real*
issues yet. unfortunately i know people reporting that this patch causes
the
overall output volume to be a bit quiter than normal, but i cannot
confirm.
Thanks again to whoever has send that patch to me.
---------------------
I tested the patch and it appeard that it doesn't work for me.
When playing 2-channel sound my left front speaker was muted and when
playing 6-channel sound the rear left speaker was muted.
After a suggestion from Lee Revell I played arround with the
SND_EMU10K1_GPR_CONTROLS and made it work when leaving this setting to 44
and not changing it to 46 as the patch did. After these changes everything
works fine. A new volume called 'Digital Master' can control all channels
of the card. I have tested the card only in analog mode, as I don't have
digital speakers.
If this is working for You give some feedback.
I'm attaching the original patch I was send as accourding to Christian it
works for other people. If it doesn't work for You try changing the
SND_EMU10K1_GPR_CONTROLS as I did.
The original author of the patch is Mikael Magnusson and as I know it is
posted to alsa-devel.
I tested with alsa 1.0.10 and SB Live! 5.1 (SB0220)

The "Sigmatel Surround" control the ratio of the front and rear speakers.
The "Surround" control the volume of SDAC.
The "PCM" control the volume of front DAC.
The "Master" control the volume of the analog mixer.

Those Sigmatel and 3D* controls are part of the AC97 codec. A real master
volume has to be implemented with emu10k1 DSP code (as in the patch)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

rlrevell - 03-11-06 19:02
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are looking at the wrong bug report, this one makes no reference to
ens1371, this is about the emu10k1 driver.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
gruberroland - 03-12-06 10:36

I created this report because the volume control on my ens1371 did not work
correctly. But I do not know why there is no more reference to the
ens1371.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Raymond - 03-12-06 11:22
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to mute the rear speaker, the simplest way is to turn "Sigmatel
4-Speaker Stereo" off.
The name of the control should be named according to the slots assigned to
the pcm
It depend how stac9708 is configured - multi-channels programming register

Summary: Master volume control only controls front speakers
Description:
The master volume control has no effect on the rear speakers.
The rear speakers can be controlled by "Sigmatel Surround" but not
completly muted.
I use "Sigmatel 4-Speaker Stereo" to get sound on all 4 speakers. The
speakers are plugged into both output plugs on the soundcard.
I tried all volume controls that are provided, there seems to be no master
control.

It's feature request. We haven't designed abstract mixer layer at the
moment,
but you are allowed to control fully hardware anyway. If you cannot mute
completely the rear speakers, then it's probably hardware problem.
