I've really no idea why booting into Windows should prevent ALSA managing your sound card correctly but let it be a lesson to you. :) The advice given at http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/adding-an-alsa-software-pre-amp-to-fix-low-sound-levels/ does work. There is an extra control in alsamixer and rebooting is not necessary to get it. See how you go on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
