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
/dev/sound is OSS sound drivers, is it not, and alsa is /dev/snd ? Thats what I think, anyway, but it's not uncommon for me to be wrong.
