charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi there, I am continuing to have a bug across the latest 7.2 kernels, as well as 6.18 and 6.12 LTS branches concerning hardware volume control on my Audient EVO4, that I think is related to this issue - would appreciate some guidance if not. Specifically, when changing volume via the knob on the front of the device, everything works perfectly, but when modifying volume through pwvucontrol or wpctl the volume drastically lowers. As far as I can understand, pipewire is resorting to a software mixer for the device for some reason, whilst also actively modifying the hardware volume at the same time - is this what should occur with "sticky mixers"? prior to kernels 7.2 (tested 7.1.13) the volume control works perfectly via wpctl. I attempted to add a quirk flag to snd_usb_audio to work around the issue without success: ``` sudo modprobe snd_usb_audio quirk_flags=2708:0006:mixer_get_cur_broken ``` I also tried applying these patches to add extra mixer controls to my EVO4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260919151840.24371-1-arc@gmx.li/ This worked fine after I modified the UCM conf for the device to follow the new (correct) naming scheme for the master volume, but the volume problem was still occuring. is this problem I'm having related to these sticky mixers? I originally reported this to wireplumber thinking it was an issue there, more information is provided at the link below: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/work_items/1022 As I've never reported anything upstream to the kernel before, I'd appreciate extra guidance where necessary. Would love to get this solved as its making all volume control on my system unusable, and the change which has caused it has also been pushed to LTS kernels, leaving me with no working kernel besides reverting to the now EOL 7.1 series.
