Re: [arch-general] Alsa Softvol and MOC

Alsa itself has a pulseaudio plugin. So applications using alsa will be routed through pulseaudio. I tried to find the source for that plugin, but couldn't find it. Maybe it was removed from alsa-plugins upstream? Or merged into another plugin? What is preventing speakup from using pulseaudio? On Sat, Sep 26, 2015 at 4:09 PM, Storm Dragon wrote:

Howdy, No, I don't have pulseaudio installed. I actually can't use it because it will not allow me to use speakup in the console. Interestingly enough, I read something that said moc doesn't have support for pulseaudio. So, I must have found outdated info. Still, I wonder if we are missing a plugin in alsa itself? thanks Storm

Are you using pulseaudio? This works out of the box for me with pulseaudio. moc controls the volume of whatever was the default sink when it was started.

Howdy, I have installed extra/moc 1:2.5.0-3. Reading through the docs, and things on the net, I found a way to set up a softvol control for it in alsa, so when I adjust its volume, it only changes the volume for moc. Everything went well, except, I can't adjust the volume from within the moc app, which should be possible because you can set the alsa device and mixer in the ~/.moc/config file. It is using the right device, and amixer sset Mocmaster 50% sets the volume. It's just the in program controls that fail. When moc starts, it gives this error: ALSA lib dlmisc.c:254:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_softvol.so This makes me think that either a plugin is missing from alsa-plugins, or maybe moc is using an outdated way to change its volume. However, if the alsa controls are set to their defaults, the volume works fine, but it lowers the volume on the whole system. I did a pacman search for alsa softvol but it didn't return anything. Is there anything I can install to fix this? Thanks for any help Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!
