[Bug 70779] volume-slide controls wrong channel

[ubunturox]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

hi,

my volume-control-slide changes the volume on the wrong "channel" on my
laptop Dell Inspiron 9200.

This is my soundcard:

Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)

The problem seems to be that the notebook has 4 speakers - 2 for high and 2 for low frequencies.
The Master-slide in gnome-valume-control changes the 2 speakers for the high frequencies. The low frequencies are changed by the Master-Mono-slide.

So if I want to change the volume I always have to change both slides or
use the PCM-slide.

Is there a way to define that the slide in the gnome-panel should map to
the PCM-channel?

Is using the PCM-slide the intended way to use my soundcard or is the
real master-slide not detected?

thanx.
