>3) how can I set the mixer non graphically? I was using OSS on SuSE
Don't know on this one. -- kevin I quick 'man -k mixer' revelled: alsamixer (1) - soundcard mixer for ALSA soundcard driver, with ncurses interface amixer (1) - commandline mixer for ALSA soundcard driver mixer_applet (1) - No manpage for this program, utility or function. ymixer (7) - No manpage for this program, utility or function. I don't have sound working yet.. waiting for the Maestro3i drivers... but one of these should do the trick. PaulS
