Tried this on Daedalus/openRC/Cinnamon DE: display is incomplete, unfortunately the mixer can't be used.

You can build it from source. It's working for me and someone else also gave it a try in Gentoo. It did work for me in Void Linux as well.
You'll need to install the following build dependencies:

• libgtkmm-3.0-dev | libgtkmm-2.4-dev

• libasound2-dev

• libsigc++-2.0-dev

• libprocps-dev

Download the source from git:

https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/amixer-gtk

Depending on the version of Gtk you've chosen for the build, you might change the flags in ui/Makefile replacing gtkmm-3.0 with gtkmm-2.4 or vice versa.
Just do:

$ make
$ ui/amixer-gtk --help
Uso:
  amixer-gtk [OPCIÓN…]

Opciones de ayuda:
  -h, --help       Mostrar opciones de ayuda

Opciones de la aplicación:
  -D, --device     Select the device
  -c, --card       Select the card
  --systray        Send to the system tray

For example, you can launch it by typing:

$ ui/amixer-gtk -D hw -c 0

The installation is trivial:

# make install

To uninstall it:

# make uninstall

Cleanup the build with:

$ make cleanall

DISCLAIMER: I recommend you to build it in Gtk3 because I'm fixing a bug in Gtk2, appearently caused by the latest commits.

Nice mixer I should say altor.

Thanks

My experience has been very similar, sadly. Before I had a computer my entertainment system had an outboard mixer... Plug anything in and go.

I just gave it another go and discovered if I didn't change any defaults in /etc/asound.conf and instead changed the order for snd-hda-intel chips in /etc/modprobe.d then everything just seems to work. I have both pulseaudio and pipewire blacklisted. Maybe adding more to the configuration is what ruined it for me, but dmix seems to be turned on by default.

I've been stuck to using FreeBSD which uses OSS for a while because of the cancer that is pulse/pipewire and ALSA, the purist alternative, didn't seem to "just work". OSS is much like that, plug and go. It can even handle software mixing well. Thankfully this worked, because otherwise I would have to deal with a constant popping noise regardless of the distro and regardless of what changes I made to pulseaudio or pipewire. I tried using Debian itself without systemd and well... Now I see why Devuan is so important.

That's a bit off-topic. Nice mixer I should say altor.

I'd also like to go ALSA-only, but ALSA configuration is quite confusing.

I think the best I could do is get applications like Firefox to have working sound, but Steam and others did not (even with apulse).

Googled Chrome also works with ALSA. It's just Firefox developers who decided to relegate their browser back to the silent fim era.

I am running FF on chimaera without pulseaudio thanks to "apulse". That has been available on Devuan for years.  I have NEVER used PA and ALWAYS had FF as one of my browsers.

Apologies to aitor for going OT . . .

This app obviously lacks some features like sound device selection.

I am aware of this. Thanks for giving it a try!

* Shortcut video editor - Works with ALSA

I'm not trying to be a smart-aleck, but did you mean Shotcut instead of Shortcut?

Shotcut is what I use.

Thank you Aitor!

cheers

It looks great. Thank you for your work.

Thanks, Pedro!

Have you got it shared as an deb file so people with Debian and Debian distros can use it too ???

The following DEBs are available for manual installation:

https://www.gnuinos.org/amixer-gtk/amixer-gtk_0.1_amd64.deb
https://www.gnuinos.org/amixer-gtk/amixer-gtk_0.1_i386.deb

Quick installation commands (one for amd64 and the other for i386:

wget https://www.gnuinos.org/amixer-gtk/amixer-gtk_0.1_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i amixer-gtk_0.1_amd64.deb

wget https://www.gnuinos.org/amixer-gtk/amixer-gtk_0.1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i amixer-gtk_0.1_i386.deb

Ive been using QasMixer and Volumeicon-alsa
I dont like ((( pulse audio )))  , ((( wayland ))) or ((( pipewire )))

So people know
* Palemoon - works with ALSA
* LibreWolf - Works with ALSA
* Ungoogled Chromium - Works with ALSA
* Shortcut video editor - Works with ALSA
* Smplayer - Works with ALSA
* Simple Screen Recorder - Works with ALSA
