Use setvol to control the sound card

#1 Post by Mr Doolie »

Puppy work well with my NVidia on-board sound card but when he comes up *ALL* the sound options activate. Mike, Radio, TV, Line-in and it's a noisy mess. Is there a sound input controller in Puppy so I can disable all the noise?

Won't "setvol" turn the entire thing down/off?

I want sound; just not the radio, mike and TV parts.
Winblows has a bunch of sliders and disable checkboxes for all that. I was hoping for something like that in Linux.

If you are using fvwm95 (default Puppy) double click on the speaker icon bottom right.

Hope that is the sort of control you require :)

There are two audio mixers in the Multimedia menu.

type setvol

so you might put something like this in rc.local

setvol 6 0 0
setvol 7 0 0
setvol 0 80 80

which sets line-in and mic to 0 and mixer vol to 80%

or you can install aumix ... it can save/restore volume levels ... you can't run it from rc.local unless you setup and export PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH first ... it will run ok from /etc/profile
