Audio Mixer loses Sndio reference when switching output on the fly
The open Mixer loses the sndio reference when I switch the output on the fly.
The open Audio Mixer loses the Sndio reference when I switch the output on the fly.
When I add the Audio mixer item in the Dashboard, it works great. But when I change the output, from USB to HDMI for example, the mixer loses the reference and stops working.
Steps:
-
include the Audio Mixer item in the Panel;
-
Set the Audio Mixer properties to "Sndio Volume Control" and the Track Mixer to "output". Click "Close".
-
Play a song on Youtube with Chromium and leave it playing until the end of the test. Change the volume in Audio Mixer. It will work!
-
In Terminal, enter the command "sndioctl server.device=PCM_NUMBER" and change it to a PCM number different from the current one. For example, if it's on USB (3), switch to HDMI (2).
Make sure you have mapped all PCM outputs to Sndio!!!
- Try changing the volume in Audio Mixer. It will not work!!!
This scenario also works with Audio Mixer open.
Best,
