| 277526 | 2004-10-03 05:35:00 | I feel quite silly... I found out the problem with the sound. In Volume Control panel it was set to 80%- which is too quiet for what we have the speaker volume set at :8} Thanks for the help Chill and Wood-Chuck :) |

To save doing something which could potentially knaff a machine (a common one is editors like Nano wrapping text to a new line when it should be commented out, then save, reboot and whoops). Not that I've ever done that once, or twice ;) :p Anyway, the reason I recommended alsaconf is because it does the job for you without any command entering, *.conf editing and the possibilities for stupid mistakes. Also it's a lot more convenient for some people (eg: those who want to use a GUI) if they have a semi interactive interface to work with - if people don't want to work in the terminal I won't force them. The one credit I do give the terminal though is it bridges "cross distro" problems. I don't know what mandrake installs by default and I'm not really interested - so to save people downloading a GUI setup program, installing, etc by using an easy terminal command it just saves time and hassle. Well that's my opinion. |
