Yes, they are different programs that both operate on the sound hardware. I have not heard of this problem with alsamixer before. My suspicion, once again, was that the asound.state file that alsamixer and amixer use as a database was not valid after your recompile. I have definitely had problems when that file was wrong, but erasing it and letting Alsa remake it fixed things. This is what I think amixer did. Glad it's working. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
