[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#239575: #239575 questions

[Eric Lavarde]

Hi,

So, yes, I think that KDE unmutes IEC958. And basically kmix (from the 
same package) is responsible. I did the following tests:
- before starting KDE, look in alsamixer shows that IEC958 is out
- look at file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state confirms this
- removed ~/.kde, start KDE, noises are back.
- correct the problem in kmix (Sound Mixer in the KDE menu)
- go out, go back in, problem is gone.
- go out, remove ~/.kde/share/config/kmix*, go back in -> problem is 
there again.

So, my interpretation: when kmix is started for the first time for a 
certain time, it creates its own rather random set of default values 
instead of taking over the current mixer values.
That's a bug of kmix! Do you reassign it?

Thanks, Eric
