How can I change it? My understanding is that this file is used to store the state of your mixer and can be used to reload that state. So you can probably change false to true if you want to. Then use alsactl. This is probably not what you want to do. I suggest you look at the output of amixer For my card I get. Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 15 Front Left: Capture 0 [0%] [off] Front Right: Capture 0 [0%] [off] I can change the capture to [on] using alsamixer hit f5 hit spacebar on the capture control. cheers Paul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
