Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 with the following in my kernel configuration: --- device sound device snd_emu10kx --- My soundcard is a Soundblaster Live! In trying to make the rear-channel volume default to "100" I added the following to my /boot/device.hints: --- hint.pcm.1.vol="100" hint.pcm.1.pcm="100" --- This method is suggested on page 164 (section 7.2.4) of the Handbook. The problem is that these mixer levels do not apply: --- $ mixer -f /dev/mixer1 Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 --- There is no problem however in manualy settig these values. Any help is welcome. My machine can - may it be needed - be used as a testbase. Regards, - Jouke

You can disable the mixer script perhaps. -- John Baldwin
