What is mudita24

Mudita24 is a modification of the Linux alsa-tools’ envy24control application controlling the digital mixer, channel gains and other hardware settings for sound cards based on the VIA Ice1712 chipset aka Envy24. Unlike most ALSA mixer controls, this application displays a level meter for each input and output channel and maintains peak level indicators. This is based on Envy24’s hardware peak metering feature. Mudita24 provides alternate name to avoid confusion with “envy24control 0.6.0” until changes in this version propagate upstream. As balance to the “Envy”, this project needed some Mudita “In Buddhism the third of the four divine abidings is mudita, taking joy in the good fortune of another. This virtue is considered the antidote to envy and the opposite of schadenfreude.” This utility is preferable to alsamixer for those with ice1712-based cards Delta 410 and Audiophile 2496.
