Do you run PulseAudio or plain ALSA? (Try ps auxw | grep pulse to find out). If the latter, you can view all mixers and mute buttons via $ alsamixer or another GUI mixer application. In alsamixer, you can move between the mixers using the arrow keys. "m" mutes (small MM at the bottom) or unmutes (green 00 at the bottom) the mixer. Those labeled Master and PCM should be unmuted. You might also have a hardware switch – they’re especially popular with notebooks, but external speakers often also have them. If you have external speakers, you might want to check that they’re plugged in properly :) Best regards, Claudius -- Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. -- Messiah's Handbook : Reminders for the Advanced Soul http://chubig.net telnet nightfall.org 4242
