line-in and aux missing as playback in volume control (hoary)

[Janis Blechert]

As the summary says line-in and aux are missing as playback mixers in the volume
control. line-in or aux are used by my tv tuner to provide sound.

Check the preferences dialog and see if they can be enabled there. Not all
controls are enabled by default.

are they listed in the capture tab ?

[Janis Blechert (janis-blechert)]

I already looked in the preferences, everything is checked and they are not
displayed in playback but in capture. it used to work fine in 4.10 however it
may still be a bug with the new alsa drivers, my sound card is a C-Media PCI
CMI8738-MC6, if it helps.

line-in in capture seems to be right to me ... what's wrong with it ?

[Janis Blechert (janis-blechert)]

my tv tuner uses line-in as an output to play the sound, so for me it is
playback (and for some others with crappy tv tuners it might be aswell). I'm not
sure if this justifies a change but from my point of view it would make sense.

there is a discussion about a such issue in #6831. I'm closing this bug as a
duplicate.
