Hello all: I've recently had the same trouble, but i noted that it happened exactly after playing with gmixer and alsamixer, I always worked with SuSE's sound setup and kmix, and never had problems. So, i think the thing goes this way, please enlight me.!!!! SuSE' install works with ALSA as default, while configuring during installation the volume control works well, and kmix works fine, BUT if for any reason i use gamix or alsamixer, then inmediately KMIX IS HISTORY :(, and furthermore if you open Yast and try to adjust/deinstall and install your soundcard, the volume control is useless, even thought the soundcard works fine if you adjust it via gamix/alsamixer, works fine with xmss/xine/mplayer,kscd. So the question is. How do i enable kmix to work again, as installation's default?? Greetings to all Oxiel. El Vie 27 Jun 2003 11:33, David Johanson escribió:

I had the same problem. As some others have suggested, open alsamixer, and adjust *every* control one at a time up and down to find which control kscd is using for its volume.
Did just that and it made absolutely no difference. In fact, I've played with everything "sound" on the setup and nothing makes any difference.
I found that if I changed the lead from my dvd to the soundcard that kscd used 'Aux' as the volume control in one pluging spot (don't know *why* Aux, but it worked), and at a different plugin on my soundcard it used 'CD' for the volume (I prefer alsamixergui myself, but alsamixer or whatever mixer you use should be okay). I've also found that with my SBLive card, alsaplayer allows me to use quite a few more of the controls in alsamixer, than kscd or other cd players. It's not as fancy looking, and takes a couple more steps to play a CD, but I like it over all the other CD players now.
My asus P4PE board is using onboard sound.
