My sound blaster live is working via emu10k1. I can play sounds through XMMS fine and the interface sounds in KDE work too. But why do I have no mixers when I open KMix? I saw something about "alias sound emu10k1" when setting up my card, but I didn't do that. Slackware already had the module loaded, I just CHMODed /dev/dsp to 666. Can anyone tell me how I'd get a mixer to adjust the volume at the system level?

Try running aumix from the commandline and see if you can use that to adjust the volume levels.

Doesn't work. Command not found.

Mine is in /usr/bin.

Is /usr/bin in your path?

echo $PATH

Perhaps you need to be root to run aumix.

What's ls -l /dev/mixer say? If the permissions aren't OK, you might want to try chmod 0666 /dev/mixer in addition to /dev/dsp.

If /dev/mixer doesn't exist (or if it still doesn't work), then your sound drivers may not support a mixer. I'm not sure, but I don't think all of them do.

Worked beautifully. Thanks a bunch.
