-or- :)
what if you uninstalled amixer and aumix, then just installed amixer -
will it grab the dependency sndconfig if you need it? I don't have it:
slamson@callerio:~$ dpkg -l sndconfig
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
|
Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===================-===================-======================================================
un sndconfig <none> (no description available)
and i am working fine on a SoundBlaster 5.1 with kernel drivers.
(emu10k1) in my case. I use "rexima" which if you'll note is amixer
backwards.
Or uninstall amixer and aumix, install sndconfig, then install amixer.
slamson@callerio:~$ sudo apt-get -s install sndconfig
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
hwdata kudzu
The following NEW packages will be installed:
hwdata kudzu sndconfig
Let me know how it turns out. I don't know of a "default" sound mixer
setting in Debian, so I suspect you are talking about one of the
Desktop Managers.
