New Computer, New Problems

[solo]

 I installed Redhat on my custom built AOpen, with a 1.7 ghz celeron... installed fine, detected the video card (geforce mx), and everything. Only thing that's a bit weird is the audio (thru the i845 ac97 driver). It works, but the sound is *very* soft. I didn't hear it until I cranked it up, and even then it was so soft I have to put my ear up to the speaker to hear it. The mixer is up full... Is there something I can do to fix this?

i haven't the slightest idea. maybe its the actual computer volume, or the system volume. maybe one of them is down low, and one is up?? i don't know. sorry i couldn't be of more help..

Yeah, check the volume on the computer, run

Code: [Select]

Whichever sound mixer you choose, there should be a volume slider for both Master and PCM.  Be sure both of these are turned up to reasonable levels.

no, the mixer is up full blast, every single level is maxed.

Try to get aumix either by RPM or via apt-get.  If not, build it from source:

SHEESH i have aumix!!!! i have kmix!!! i have the gnome mixer!!!!


the OSS mixer (/dev/mixer) which controls all sound levels on the OSS-compatible sound card driver is maxxed out. All levels are absolutely topped, nothing's muted. There is nothing I can do regarding mixers.
