Hi, list. Here is what is happening so far with my alsa setup. I've successfully installed the alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils. I've modified the /etc/modules.conf file to reflect the new modules, and I've added alsasound to chkconfig, and sset alsasound to come up on startup. When I first ran service alsasound start to load the alsasound service it announced that it loaded my soundcard, and then told me no config in /etc/asound.state. I have to unmute my card. Now the question is naturally: 1. How do I unmute my card. 2. What is a quick way to configure my wav, midi, cd audio, etc? 3. When I tried configuring my settings in amixer according to the man page I get the following error: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory What does this mean, and what is going on here? Thanks.
