Ok I found a mixer program called "Xmixer" I looked and it is located here: $ locate xmixer /usr/X11R6/bin/xmixer /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xmixer.1x.gz I looked at the HOWTO it said to look at /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XMixer I did so and discovered all the lines of code had a "!" in front so I took them all off. When I run the command I get: $ xmixer xmixer: Can't open /dev/mixer: Permission denied So I looked for /dev/mixer and found: $ locate /dev/mixer /dev/mixer /dev/mixer1 When I try to look at /dev/mixer I get: $ cat /dev/mixer cat: /dev/mixer: Operation not supported by device $ cat /dev/mixer1 cat: /dev/mixer1: Permission denied Tried it as root got: crossyourfingers:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults# cat /dev/mixer1 cat: /dev/mixer1: Operation not supported by device This was in the HOWTO I think it is relevent but I don't understand it at all: .SH "RESOURCES" .I XMixer understands a large number of .I X11 resources which are listed below. These system wide resources usually sit in a file called .B /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XMixer. Personal resources reside either in .B ~/.Xdefaults or .B ~/.Xresources depending on your installation. To put an .I XMixer resource into your personal resource file, prefix it with the word .B xmixer. After editing your personal file, be sure to run .B xrdb ~/.Xresources or .B xrdb ~/.Xdefaults to make them work. There is no need for a prefix or an invocation of .I xrdb if you change the system wide file. Help. Thanks, Kent
