You're probably sick of me telling you that you're a legend Florian, so
I won't do it again - this time.
I thought that the sliders were sufficient to move up and have sound
working. I didn't realise that the MM was mute, or how to access the
control to them anyway. So thank you for that as well.
But I have to wonder why alsamixer makes it so you can't hear sound,
mute the mixer by default? Shouldn't the default be unmute? That's
probably just me though.
Thank you again, and for previous help again, your time and
perseverance are not trivial and very much appreciated.
I am Listening to Iz - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as I type out my
gratitude.
Stay well,
Charlie
