Thomas, As root, do this: alsactl store That creates /etc/asound.state, and then amixer ought to work. The first thing to do once amixer can find your default settings is to do this: amixer > anything.txt and examine the resulting file. It will show you what settings are there for you to change and what their official names and limits are. Your various services can be muted or unmuted so that you can use them without hearing them, such as with a mike input. Chuck On Mon, 28 Oct 2002, Thomas Ward wrote: > > > Hi, list.
