[quoted lines by Brian Tew on July 9, 2002, at 06:56] >aumix -b 100 This is the correct syntax. aumix works with percentages, though, so giving it 100 should set the bass to its maximum level. Try using a number less than 100. >aumix -b q >gives me 234, 255 This is a very strange result as it's definitely not reporting a percentage. Perhaps you're using the wrong driver for your soundcard. In any event, I still suggest first trying a number less than 100, e.g. 50. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
