Thanks, The mixer modules are there to be used,depending upon which Alias in modules.conf one enabled. In the examples given previously the OSS driver install that DrakX created for you the mixers come up set midway on the volume contoll sliders. The manually enabled alsa driver produces a mixer control whose setting come up initially as nil volume, I manually reset them and have the new volume levels set as default. However should the wrong aliases be enabled in modules.conf there is no mixer utility at all, it is greyed over. See examples listed previously for details of the settings employed that work. In the DrakX OSS install I have sound from Kstart-Multimedia-Sound-CD Player only , no sound on any other device whatsoever. The devices themselves do seem to be playing,there is the usual number counter clocking up it's numbers as the tune is played in those devices that display as such, and those with the Horizontal slider bars invariably slide.They look as though they are outputting something , but sound is not heard. That includes Xmms. Both drivers do not create any KDE sound jingles.There is nothing to indicate the system 's own OS sounds are configured at all. regards, John In the manually configured alsa install Nothing at all works. > > On Sat, 20 Apr 2002 00:16:12 +0100 > > John Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Friday 19 April 2002 18:53, you wrote: > > > On Thu, 18 Apr 2002 23:38:10 +0100 > > > > > > John Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Thursday 18 April 2002 20:47, you wrote: > > > > > > <big snip> > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > I have a MSI K7T266 Pro2 Mobo which has via 8233 AC97 soundchip built > > > > into the board. > > > > Upon install LM8.2 seems to configure an OSS driver which works,but > > > > only with one item, namely the CD player.
