Message-ID: <47F569F1.6020001@gmail.com> (raw)
This is a follow-up on an exchange that dates back to October of 2007:
I own a set of Altec Lansing FX5051 USB 5.1 speakers--they have a
built-in sound card that allows for 5.1 surround sound from a system
that lacks a 5.1 card. This system works out of the box in Windows XP
with no need for extra drivers, and I can get sound to play through them
in Linux (Currently using Ubuntu 8.04 Beta), however the sound is at an
unchangeable (and generally unbearable) 100%. ALSA Mixer will simply not
allow me to lower the volume.
The system includes a hub for controlling bass, treble, and volume
manually (All digital--there are no analog controls), but it reflects
the same information ALSA Mixer provides, and the volume is not
adjustable via this interface either.
"lsusb -v" yields the following, though I apologize for any excess
information I included here--I'm a bit new to this:
