alsactl hang

[EricDHH]

Oneiric beta amd64, packages today 09.oct

When tryin to store, init or restore settings of an audio card, alsactl simply hangs. I try'ed -d for debugging but nothings comes out, i try'ed card 0 and 1 without changes. Nothing happens and the cursor does not come back to my terminal. Only "alsactl -h" gives an output.

In full release alsactl simply does nothing but this hang. I get boomed by my full power subwoofer and cannot store the mixer setting by this ugly fault. And there is no usable debug output by this hang

root@agamemnon:/home/eric# alsactl -d store

Help me to create a god account if root has not enough permissions to store settings

Bug was fixed with rollback to 11.04, can be closed now

[EricDHH (ericdhh)]

In 11.10 the bug exist in i386 and amd64 on. No way to change the amplifier chain to non amplifier, the sound is distorted and let the speakers fart. When switching to non amplifier, this switches back to amplifier when the screen is refreshed.

Bug still exists, when output chain was changed to lfe/no amplifier this turns from itself back to earphone/amplifier within seconds. The sound from speakers are farting at all levels, cause the output works as earphone.
