OSS switches mixer controls randomly

[L29Ah]

I made a binding for xbindkeys to control the output volume:
"ossmix misc.front1 -- +0.9"
mod4 + Up
"ossmix misc.front1 -- -0.9"
mod4 + Down

When i'm holding the keys i'm noticing OSS suddenly setting other mixer options to random values (checked with ossxmix). Is it a bug? What can i do about it?

Do you have Ubuntu 10.10?

What happens if you use vmix0-outvol instead of misc1.front? (Maybe giving commands too quickly to the driver causes this? Possibly a bug...)

You may try 1 instead of 0.9

Code: Select all

$ man ossmix

ossmix vol +2
              Raise vol volume by 2.

ossmix -- vol +2:-2
              Raise the left channel volume by 2, and lower right channel vol‐
              ume  by  2.  The "--" is needed on some systems so that the "-2"
              won't be mistaken for a parameter.

It works well:

Code: Select all

$ ossmix vol +2
Value of mixer control vol set to 95.0:95.0
$ ossmix vol +2
Value of mixer control vol set to 97.0:97.0

Gentoo here.

Thanks, that fixed the problem. But i'd prefer to use the soundcard volume control because vmix outvol applies to the volume of the output recording too.

No luck.
