[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#578668: alsa-utils: most of volume management keys in alsamixer are not working

[Gennady Kupava]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.22-1
Severity: important

In alsamixer, keys q,w,e,z,x,c,[arrow up], [arrow down] are not working for me (this continues for > 1 month), while 1,2,3,4... 0 are ok, amixer sset is ok also.

This is extermly annoying, as I my sound system is regulated in range of 0.5-10% while 10% is very loud.

Sound card is pulseaudio:

cat ~/.asoundrc

pcm.!default {
        type pulse
        server 192.168.0.1
}

ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    server 192.168.0.1
}
