I know I just sent this, but because the dates on my laptop got messed up again (I'm going to have to figure out how to fix this), I thought I would send it again so the message gets in the "current" view stream. Thanks for your patience.
Hello everyone, I am trying to increase the default volume of my laptop, am IBM Thinkpad T21. I had a previous unit which was louder that this current one; I previous one had to be returned to manufacturer due to a massive failure after only 2 weeks - I had no problem with that. I am trying to bring up alsamixer and alsamixergui, both fail with the following error: star21 root # alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory Here are the permissions for the mixer device: star21 root # ls -l /dev/sound/mixer /dev/mixer lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Sep 3 21:31 /dev/mixer -> sound/mixer crwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 14, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/sound/mixer Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Harlan... ------------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
