Hi,
For some reason it recognises my sound card as snd-intel8x0. I can hear
sound but can't really control the volume. There are some C-media
drivers included in alsa, but not the version I have. I'm sure it's
quite a common one on motherboard. I've been googling for a day and cant
seem to find any solution. But read people having some trouble with the
soundcard, which leads me to think they have the driver installed. So
basically I just want to be able to control my voulme! I can only
control wav? voulme, not anything else.
