Thanks for the response. I actually have no idea. ;-) There is no "esd" process running, so I suspect that's out. alsamixer does indeed adjust the input and output volumes, but I do understand that I could be outputting via ALSA in "OSS emulation" mode. Is there something in /proc/asound that would allow me to answer that question? Or is there some generic GNOME and/or RB setting for telling it to use OSS emulation (/dev/dspX) vs. "native" ALSA devices that I can look for? Thanks again, - C
