Hello, I've installed SuSE 8.0 Pro on my system which has a Creative Labs SBLive! Platinum sound card. When I play analog sound, I can control the volume with the kmix mixer, but not treble or bass. When I play digital sound (preferred), I cannot control any aspect of the sound card - not volume, treble, bass, or anything else. Is this the best that Alsa has to offer for this card? Or is there something that I am not doing correctly? Thanks for any help, Steven

It looks like kmix is only an OSS mixer. Either use alsamixer or an X based mixer that supports ALSA. Charles -- "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds." (Linus Torvalds about the superiority of Linux on the Amterdam Linux Symposium)
