Only "mixer ogain" and "mixer pcm" change the actual volume on this machine. "mixer cd" does affect CD playback volume, but I need to increase ogain from the default 50:50 to get an acceptable volume. "mixer vol" has no effect; the actual volume stays constant as I change the volume from 0 to 100. This seems like a bug, but perhaps I'm missing something. Regards, Jan Mikkelsen
