77408	2002-09-07 12:57:00	Well it was worth a try - I mean it is late, and I thought maybe you'd missed that :) I'm installing 8.2 tomorrow, so I'll try to see if I can find something :) Mike.	Mike (15)
77409	2002-09-07 13:03:00	Couldn't you get around that by changing the volume of whatever sound files it's playing then? Just an idea.	TGhost (1798)

If you can't find "alsa", here's a link to a HOWTO at the Dunedin LUG mirror (dunedin.lug.net.nz). Have a look at the amixer section ... I think there is actually a manual available online or downloadable (probably at "www.alsa.org/" -- but that's only a guess at a likely url). Google will find it.	Graham L (2)
