arthur Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 why, oh why, does Mandrake set the sound so low on default? :( I can't crank my sound up from a whisper, even with Kmix and aumix settings maxed out! In knoppix the volume is fine... Since this might be the reason many people have trouble with sound on mandrake, I suggest to the FAQ team to provide a "how to crank up sound in Mandrake"... if you guys have the time :D I'll be very grateful :woops: thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well, the solution consists of turning up the volume and _perhaps_ getting ALSA/OSS to remember the settings... doesn't really warrant an FAQ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Would warrant an FAQ if it's frequently asked no matter how simple the solution is - so how many people have asked this question? If this is the first time (unlikely) then it's not an FAQ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I'd better upgrade to MDK 10.0 then...I was about to switch to Knoppix/Debian you know... :o And no, as I said even cranking up alsamixer, Kmix and aumix and my speakers only give me very faint music...I gotta stick my ears to the speaker to hear anything. :unsure: I could cascade some amps but that's a bit extreme... But if it's only in an old version of MDK then it doesn't warrant a FAQ. But new FAQs must be made for new versions...like compiling a 2.6 kernel is now a *bit* different from compiling a 2.4 kernel. Please don't see me as a demanding member...just offering some suggestions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
