Ok, find the relevant piece of my /etc/modules.conf below, I'm not sure if it's all needed, but it works for me: #Sound config begins. alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="sblive!" # OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss #Sound config ends. > My other questions have to do with identifying and manipulating the > various controls on the sound card and getting results.

This may be your problem, you need to give the rear output some volume or you won't hear anything. Personally, I find alsamixer a bit easier to tweak with than amixer, but that's down to personal choice.
