I can set it even to 0 or to 100, but no volume change could be heard. Anyway, I can adjust the volume by 'pcm' and 'ogain' settings of the mixer. With default mixer settings the volume is low. I should set the 'ogain' to 80, so a music from XMMS could be well heard with middle values of the 'pcm'. By default XMMS uses the 'pcm' for its volume control. The problem is even more annoying when I return from a single user mode and the mixer settings are switched to their defaults. By the way, could the /etc/rc.d/mixer script be teached to not save the settings during a shutdown if it didn't set them during the last boot? Thanks
