Thanks for all your help so far, now just one more question. When I installed aumix-gtk it did not create a /etc/aumixrc file. When I run aumix it does create a /HOME/.aumixrc but no comments. Which I guess is fine. And I figured out my CD audio and TV card problem I have to set them to record or capture depending on which mixer I am using but I can't find a way to set them both at the same time I can only do one or the other anyway to fix this or do I just have to live with it. Sorry for sounding like a newbie I have been using Linux for about 4 years but sound cards have always given me problems and I don't know why:) Thanks Brad ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Cc: "Brad Cramer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 12:50 PM Subject: Re: emu10k1 troubles...
