Hello, Just wanted to say thanks to those who offered help with the problem, I upgraded to the 2.6.32 kernel and lost speech, turns out that aumix doesn't work anymore, which is a shame because I liked using aumix -v 100 or whatever instead of the huge amixer line needed. For the record, the only two I had to adjust were Master and Speaker. Front doesn't exist except for front left and front right, and it looks as if Speaker controls the two, which makes sense. Thanks, Tyler Littlefield http://tds-solutions.net Twitter: sorressean
