Sorry for not clarifying that point. aumix adjusts the mixer settings but (AFAIK) it doesn't save them across reboots. setmixer allows you to save the state of your mixer so that it persistent across reboots. > > dpkg -r setmixer didn't seem to make that disappear & now I think I am > > stuck with my built in micrphone on.

Here's the answer to the "location of the TiBook microphone" question: http://www.macopinion.com/columns/roadwarrior/01/02/21/talk/3.html > [...] > Maybe it was a combination of the mic & the line (what's the line > anyways?) > > setmixer -V mic 0 > setmixer -V line 0 > > Seem to have taken care of it. Thanks. Glad to hear it (pun intended ;). I don't have a mic attached (I actually don't have a TiBook) so I never had this problem, otherwise I would have warned you. You probably had a feedback loop where the slightest noise (like typing on the keyboard) would feed into the microphone which would then output to the speakers which would then feed into the microphone and create a feedback loop. - Matt -- Matt Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] Learn to love and love to learn. http://www.visi.com/~mattc/ 0111 ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/mattc/ 5468652073656372657420697320131b331b2e1b311b341b311b351b39110d0a
