Mixer master control is missing [SOLVED, kind of]

[fr4n]

After starting Audacious (PND) and hitting play the first time, an ALSA error popup complains about "no suitable mixer element found."


Deadbeef and Exaile don't have any noticeable problems and the sound and volume wheel still work fine in Audacious.


When investigating this I found that the mixer doesn't show the master volume control. It is also missing from the list of possible controls to add.


This happens on one Pandora, but not the other, both running Hotfix 5.


Any thoughts on this?

This is embarrassing. The master control is there now, but I couldn't tell you what has changed, except for installing timidity. Perhaps there's a link.





Thanks anyway for offering to help.
