Hi Folks, Thanks for the suggestions. The man pages might have been usefull if I understood what I was reading. Did I mention, I'm a relitive newbie? I checked the info files on amixer, and they looked like the man pages. I don't have a set of speakers with volume controls. I plugged in a headset, and let it hang around my neck. Instead of filling up this list with off topic questions, I'll get a local LUG member to take a look at this. Otherwise, I can always pay the LUG member I paid to get this Oralux system in the first place. Unfortunatly, one way to cure computer ills is to throw money at them. Anyway, again thanks for your suggestions. Jim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
