You can also use 'mixer -f /dev/mixer1' for testing. On my system /dev/mixer1 (default_unit=1) controls the back panel jacks, and /dev/mixer2 controls the front panel headphone jack. You will probably have to just experiment with the different mixer controls to see which controls which on your system. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
