Sound issues?

M$ISBS · 04-14-2007, 09:43 PM

I have sound but the KDE mixer does not have any affect on it, mute or EQ does nothing nor does the volume control in XMMS do anything. I have tried MP3 and wavs.
Anyone have any idea how I can get control of the volume?

Thanks.

in the sound section of KDE's Control Center, is it set to whatever sound system your using? (ie 'ALSA')

does alsamixer have an effect on it?

I have no idea. I changed the XMMS settings outpout to arts and now the volume and EQ controls in XMMS work. I guess thats good enough, I guess I dont really need the controls in KDE. I originally used alsamixer to get the sound to work.
Thanks.

Ttry this at the command line to unmute the sound card and sett the volume levels:

Code:

amixer set 'Master' 60% unmute
amixer set 'PCM' 100% unmute
