USB Headset - No Master Control

[pwnguin]

Hi guys,

I have an onboard Audigy2 ZS that is connected to a set of speakers. I use this generally to listen to music/movies etc. I also have a generic USB Headset that I use, generally for skype/teamspeak. It is detected as /dev/dsp1 and works fine in all my Linux applications.

Code: Select all

 0 [Audigy2        ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350]
                      SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] (rev.4, serial:0x20021102) at 0xe880, irq 17
 1 [default        ]: USB-Audio - C-Media USB Headphone Set  
                      C-Media USB Headphone Set   at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, full speed

However I would like to be able to choose the USB headset for certain Wine apps (like WoW). Unfortunately the only output device I have is my soundcard (seen as ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback).

If I start `winecfg` to check my Audio devices I get the following in a terminal:

Code: Select all

err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on C-Media USB Headphone Set  , disabling mixer

And the message is correct, there is no "master" control, instead it is called "Speaker". Is there some way to get Wine to recognize the "Speaker" control as a "Master" control so that it is detected in winecfg/wine applications?

Thanks.

By default Wine's ALSA driver support only one device. You need to explicitly tell it to search for more devices (or configure them manually). And set which device to use for output.

See ALSA related registry keys here: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

As far as mixer goes - you just won't be able to control volume of your headset from Wine. That's about it.
