All, After more testing it seems that PulseAudio has difficulty with the "Tone" switch in ALSA. If "Tone" is off, PulseAudio works as advertised. However, without "Tone" on, one cannot manipulate the bass and treble settings via alsamixer. Obviously, this would be a wishlist item rather than an important-severity bug report.
Please see if PulseAudio can be made to work with the "Tone" switch as seen in alsamixer for the emu10k1 chip. Thanks, Nathan A. Stine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
