Actually, yes, I have. Under windows, I would have 2 different volume controls for CDs.. I would have CD Audio, and Digital CD. playing with the CD Audio volume would result in no change from the "Standard" cd player, but messing with the "Digital CD" volume would.. unfortunately, I can find no mixer control that even remotely sounds like it would be the Digital CD volume. I am also using the latest 9.0 alsa drivers directly from the alsa-project.org website. Is there another set of drivers you recommend? -- Chuck
