First off, this question is verry vague. What isn't working for you? Are you trying to start an Arch Linux install disk from Chris Brannon's site? Chris, If I recall, the speaker wasn't muted but I had to turn it way up from something like -65 up to 80. It appears that PCM was wound up to 100% - fine. You know, I didn't check the earphone volume setting when I was over there on that laptop. The jacks on the side of the laptop may well be configured to earphone and microphone; I may explore around there a bit more and see if I can come up with some volume settings that might be more appropriate. I realize all sound cards have different control names so it is probably amazing that we get successful sound out of them at all at startup like this. Again, thanks Chris for the fine work.
