I'm moving it to here (the alsa-devel mailing list) at the request of Jaroslav. ==== It is also a duplicate of something I sent a few minutes ago with the wrong Subject: line. Sorry! When talking to Extigy on the USB bus: alsactl -f /tmp/foo store alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control'2,0,0,Digital In Playback Source,0': Invalid argument alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control '2,0,0,3D Stereo Extender Switch,0': Invalid argument alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control '2,0,0,Up Down Switch,0': Invalid argument alsactl: get_control:202: Cannot read control '2,0,0,Up Down Mode Select,0': Invalid argument alsactl -f /tmp/foo restore alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Digital In Playback Source:134521100' : Invalid argument alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:3D Stereo Extender Switch:134521100' : Invalid argument alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Up Down Switch:134521100' : Invalid argument alsactl: set_control:976: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Up Down Mode Select:134521100' : Invalid argument I modified alsactl to mke the foregoing errors non-fatal. That allowed me to progress far enough to discover other errors, as reported a few minutes ago. Alsamixer also dies with "invalid argument". I suspect this is a driver bug (as opposed to a utils bug) because I suspect the driver is misinforming the utils as to what controls it offers. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
