I don't have it: slamson@callerio:~$ dpkg -l sndconfig Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===================-===================-====================================================== un sndconfig <none> (no description available) and i am working fine on a SoundBlaster 5.1 with kernel drivers. (emu10k1) in my case. I use "rexima" which if you'll note is amixer backwards. Or uninstall amixer and aumix, install sndconfig, then install amixer.
slamson@callerio:~$ sudo apt-get -s install sndconfig Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: hwdata kudzu The following NEW packages will be installed: hwdata kudzu sndconfig Let me know how it turns out. I don't know of a "default" sound mixer setting in Debian, so I suspect you are talking about one of the Desktop Managers. Shawn __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
