I have this motherboard and am using the onboard sound. I don't have the mixers you mention installed, but I do have gnome-volume-control (aka gmix) and xmixer. Some simple test by bringing up these two and doing "cat /etc/passwd > /dev/audio" show that adjusting "PCM" adjusts the volume. (I am using the topmost of the three jacks for sound output if that makes any difference. Not sure if it can be used any other way.) > Also, no control besides the master volume control affect the volume > of audio from the computer.

I get this too. I think it is there to give you a little room to increase volume. > I'm currently using a 2.4 kernel with the cmpci module.

I am using the kernel stock driver. -- Johan KULLSTAM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
