Thanks John You may have to play a bit, try increasing the igain and ogain, also pcm sometimes is a difference so move it up or down. Look to see if the red light is on the mic setting, if it is somewhere else click the mic light button and you may get sound. Oh turn your volume down a bit or you may get blasted when you find the right slider. : ) -- Dennis M. Linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] sound volume
I'm running 9.1/KDE 3.1 on a ThinkPad T40. Sound works, but the volume is very low on KsCD (barely audible) and doesn't seem to go to speakers that are integral to an external monitor, even if I set the hardware speaker volume control to max. With the same CD under Win2K I can push the volume and distort the sound. System sounds are audible (and play to the monitor mounted speakers), although I would think that I should be able to make them louder than I can. Is there a master volume control hidden somewhere? Any other suggestions are welcome. TIA Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Sound volume
I've got the same problem I noticed the same thing happened with Mandrake 6.1 but the problem went away after I played with it a while...can't figure out what I did (and wish I could because it's not going away in 7.0 and its really annoying) On Mon, 07 Apr 2036, you wrote: I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my computer without any problem. And I have run sndconfig to setup my (very) old SB16 sound card and it is running nicely. The problem is that every time I log on (either as root or user), the sound volume is always at maximum level and I have to reduce it manually. Is there a way to save the sound volume setting after I have adjusted it? Any help would be appreciated. john lin Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.

In Mandrake 7.0, the sound volume changes I make with aumix do not stay in place. Every time I reboot, the settings change back to EXTREMELY LOUD, which I of course don't notice until I go to play music and have to rush to turn it down. How can make my volume setting changes stay in place through reboots? -Tom
