Perhaps the CD source volume is set too low? In this case, try aumix -c100. There is also a volume control called PCM, set that to maximum as well with aumix -w100. On some cards there's a second PCM that you can set with aumix -W (uppercase 'w'). But these should already be OK since you are satisfied with the volume from sound files on your disk. I usually set all volumes of all sources to the max, then use the main volume control (aumix -v) to obtain the desired volume level. Hope that helps. -- Carlos Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
