I am using redhat9 with AC'97 i810 and im having problen with the volume control i can't turn the volume up or down (i can't do it with aumix either ) and i have to use pcm to turn it down or up. How do i change it?

Also when i try to play a cd it starts playing but i can't hear a sound (it works fine in windows) what do i have to do?

thanks

knowing what hardware your running would help. Can you adjust the volume using the atrs control?

Pentium 4 2.53ghz
AC'97 audio i 810

I can't adjust the volume, the only thing that i can i do is to turn the pcm volume up or down

Do you know what kind of onboard sound chip your system has?

yes a 82801DB AC'97 Audio and the driver is i810_audio(evertyhing is intel 810)

also when i tried to run gnome-volume-control it gave me the following warning
(gnome-volume-control:2393): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session man

I have a similar problem with an amd board. It has the sis 7012 sound and then a cmedia 9738 onboard sound chip. I think that the sound chip has to be supported to use the gnome or kmixer. I get sound but the mixers don't work. I run kde and use th "arts control" to adjust the volume. I also have a board with the 7012 audio, but the onboard soundchip is a avance logic. This setup works with both mixers. I can even record with the gnome recorder in gnome only.
You should check the alsa site for infromation on your sound chip. http://www.alsa-project.org/
They will probably eventually have drivers for the sound chips.
