Seems a little unlikely, however, if you had alsa working and are now using OSS (kernel.org 2.4.x kernels don't have alsa) it's possible that /etc/init.d/aumix is finding the remnants of alsa and refusing to set the levels because it thinks alsa is doing it. You might try disabling this behaviour: alter the appropriate line in /etc/init.d/aumix so it reads: HANDLEALSA="yes" # do not save and restore if ALSA detected by default hth Nyk -- /__ \_|\/ /\
