Hi, Under Mandrake 8.2 the rear channels of my Sound Blaster live worked fine. (alsa 0.5, I think) I had a nice 3D slider in kmix and it was great. Under the current cooker, I have no 3D slider and get no sound from the rear speakers. I've messed around with amixer and alsamixer to no avail. Is there something simple I'm missing here or is it a bug?
Appended is the output of amixer. Thanks for any assistance. Thanks, Steve Bergman Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 17 [55%] [on] Front Right: Playback 17 [55%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Master Mono',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 -
