Hi all. I am using alsa compiled into the 2.6.8.1 kernel; for the most part my sound is fine. I have a cdrecorder and a plain cdrom. Both of these work using headphones in the cdrom jack and using the cdrom's own built-in volume control wheel. However, through the speakers using alsamixer, i can get no sound at all from the cdrecorder. from the plain cdrom I get sound just fine if I switch my speaker plug to the line out jack but i shouldn't have to do this. I do have cd unmuted and volume level all the way up. I have an sblive card. any suggestions? Thanks. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
