alsamixer

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi :)

it's said that all settings of RME sound cards are
available by alsamixer, so seemingly I'm doing something wrong.

This isn't a request regarding to my RME sound card, just a question
about how to use alsamixer.

I'm missing how to set up the routing.

You for sure remember that using TotaMix on Windows I can access all 8
ADAT channels, but using TotalMix on Linux, aka hdspmixer, I only can
use ADAT channels 1 and 2, the others aren't available by jack.

hdspmixer shows a signal for all 8 ADAT channels, the signal only is
missing for jack.

So how can I use alsamixer to ensure that e.g. ADAT channel 3 is jack
capture_9? ADAT channel 1 is available by jack capture_7, channel 2 by
capture_8, but than it stops, the other captures don't get the audio
signal.
