Thanks Warren Im not sure what you mean by assuming irq etc is ok? I dont have the irq or dma setting in the conf.modules which Ive queried a number of times now and no ones replied. Thru the mini how to it shows settings for these for the various cards but not mine so I dont know what to put there. And Im having to use the alsa drivers and I dont know if perhaps its reading those specific settings from elsewhere? Some things I cant unmute from the prompt. The ones that are two words like PC Speaker. Master Mono, Input Gain. But if I just do the Master then I can get into the mixer and unmute the others. The sound is definately coming out of my 4 amplified speakers. The sound is great! :) I've unmuted Master. I have to do that to get the mixer program to open off k/multimedia. I didnt think to change PCM0 AND PCM1. I'll try that. regards Gina > Are you hearing cd's through your headphone jack or the speakers? > IIRC= if I recall correctly > kmix = little speaker icon on takbar or mixer in menu/multimedia > the output of amixer shows you have unmuted some things > but not your master volume, so I assume irq etc is okay. > there are usually 2 pcm's PCM0 & PCM1.
