[Alsa-user] cx88-alsa and alsamixer

[shacky <sha...@gm...>]

Hi.

I'm using the cx88-alsa module on Ubuntu 11.04 on kernel 2.6.38-12-server.
It is correctly loaded and it recognizes my DVB-S PCI card (Hauppauge
WinTV Nova-S Plus):

dvr@LV1:~$ arecord -l
**** Lista di CAPTURE dispositivi hardware ****
scheda 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], dispositivo 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
  Sottoperiferiche: 2/2
  Sottoperiferica #0: subdevice #0
  Sottoperiferica #1: subdevice #1
scheda 1: CX8801 [Conexant CX8801], dispositivo 0: CX88 Digital [CX88 Digital]
  Sottoperiferiche: 1/1
  Sottoperiferica #0: subdevice #0

The problem is that even if I see the cx88-alsa managed card in
alsamixer, I cannot set any level for the capture device, so whenever
I record something from that audio input the sound is very loud and
distorted.

I tried with the "volume=" parameter of mplayer, but it does not work.

Could you help me, please?

Thank you very much!
Bye.
