I am sorry to confess that I should use M to unmute a channel in alsamixer (as I did about 14 years ago) and thought that arrows up and down do all the work. :( So, now the problem has been solved and I can return to the custom kernel. One last question: Is it better to compile the driver for my HDMI audio device or not, if I am not going to use HDMI audio output? And thank you all who replied to this thread. > I think it's the arrow keys to increase or decrease volume > and move from channel to channel.
