Probably some slick way of doing this but I'm drawing a blank here. How can I set the volume of any sound file? I don't mean with gnome or something but from a console login. Or at worst from xfce. grip has a nifty toggleable volume slide but it doesn't do any tbing. Xfce has a nifty appliance `xfsound. Every time I try the `test' button it tells me: xfsound: Sound format of file /usr/local/share/xfce/sounds/zap02.wav is not supported by the sound device. The sound will not be played. Format requested: sampleWidth=8 channelCount=1 frameRate=8000 Format supported: sampleWidth=16 channelCount=2 frameRate=8000 I have sound, but a very low volume. I can play cds but ny spearkers are not the kind with built in volume control. I've never used sound with linux before although I've tinkered with linux for some years now. Never really wanted sound when computing. Now I'm old and insane, and want to listen to blues while I compute. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
