sound works fine, but it is very low compared to the other os's on the machine.
I have a feeling that as i play xmms at full volume, i could turn up the master, if i could find one. ( in kde i use kmix)
anyone?

in movix a mixer is found in the console#2 shouldnt be too big, could be used?

try wmmix, it is in dsl and should be there automatically, the dial that appears first should be master volume, you can use it to turn up/down.

welcome to the forums (i really should remember to put this in the post rather than afterwards

)

thats the ticket, many thanks. (wmix not wmmix)
also thanks for the welcome. this seems like a friendly forum, opposed to many i have joined and since left.

You mean how to change the main volume? Look at the bottom right hand corner or the screen in the dock apps, at the very bottom is what looks like a midget winmx, has a dial with a little red dot on it or click on it and roll the wheel of your mouse.

Ico2, your description along with the one from Hyper, makes me think that it should be there at boot. it is not.
im willing to bet that this is because i have to insmod the drivers to my thinkpad 600e after booting to get any sound.

(i write this incase anyone else needs to know, if knowledge is power, this is an LR44)

create a file called sound.sh on your drive partition and fill it with the following :-

Code Sample

#! /bin/bash

insmod sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2-0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

echo sound done!

then as root chmod 700 sound.sh to make it executable
then type ./sound.sh to run it.

:cool:

ibm thinkpad 600 e sound (for search purposes)

hey, i'm new to dsl and it's very cool, but i have a sound volume problem : it's too loud. if i turn the volume down it mutes completely (0%) if i try 1% it's already too loud. i have speakers with no volume control so i can't listen to music without waking up the neighbours

thx
