I have found that often the mixer parameters are not actually set in the hardware. e.g. The kernel thinks the mixer has channels up around 75 but the card itself thinks the channels are all muted. To actually set the hardware to the current kernel setting I use: mixer `mixer -s` Sometimes (I think) two of these command appear to be necessary to really set the audio hardware correctly. > interestingly, though mpg123 is not whining, a clue may be that > xmixer's speaker colum has an X at the bottom. In xmixer, the "X" (on top of a microphone icon) on the bottom center indicates a channel which can be set as a recording input but isn't currently enabled. The icon on the left indicates if the left and right channels are locked or independent controls.
