Now I have a separate problem with kmix, seemingly. If I use 'alsamixer -c0' in a terminal to monitor what kmix is actually doing to my soundcard when raising and lowering the volume, I notice that the 'Master' control slider sets PCM to 100 or 98 when I raise the volume. If I lower the volume to 0, the PCM volume is also set to 0. Sometimes when I rise it again, the 'Front' channel is also set to 100. Is there a way for me to link the kmix 'master' volume to only manipulate the master volume of my hda_intel soundcard? ;)Frode -- Da sa Gud: "Det bli lys!" Og det ble lys. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 1.
