Re: PC speaker does not speak

No, I am using KDE (under FC-4).
When I right-click on the speaker icon in my panel,
I am offered the choice of Show Mixer Window.
On choosing this, I obtain a screen with 16 sliding switches,
each with an icon which presumably is meant to indicate its purpose,
although the right-hand four have the same icon.

When I go to the Switches tab, there are 7 columns
with a coloured icon at the top.
The colours are: red, green and yellow.
At the moment, for example,
the External Amplifier colour is yellow.
If I click on it, it goes green.

I have no idea what these colours mean -
that was my original query.

Timothy, this is exactly why I always recommend running alsamixer from a user
console. What you have seen is a front-end for it, but frankly the feedback
there is non-existent. With the text version you get meaningful labels.
Look out for [MM] which means muted. Use arrows to move along the row of
controls, and space-bar to change a switch. You may have to play around
quite a bit to get it right - some combinations of switches and sliders give
you white noise - but you should probably be able to get a result if your
hardware is OK.

'alsactl store' will save your settings when you've finished.

Anne
