I use alsamixer myself, so can't help you with aumix. As for loading sound at boot, that depends on which distribution you use. I use slackware, and have the following in my /etc/rc.d/rc.modules #alsa /sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1 #/sbin/modprobe snd-ainstr-simple /sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss #/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-plugin #/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-instr /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi-event /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-virmidi /sbin/modprobe snd-seq /sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth /sbin/modprobe snd-emux-synth /usr/sbin/alsactl restore You most likely don't need to load all those modules, especially if you have module autoloading enabled in the kernel. However, I like to load all of them just for the heck of it. Hth. Greg On Sat, Sep 27, 2003 at 06:52:28PM -0400, Rejean Proulx wrote: > ok, I've compiled everything.
