Hi; I have been having trouble setting up my sound so that it works properly. I have reams of detail which I will share with anybody who can help. But for now, I just got the following error message when I ran system-config-soundcard from the command line rather than as gui: ~]$ system-config-soundcard amixer: Unable to find simple control 'PCM-2',0 amixer: Unable to find simple control 'DRC Range',0 Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo I am using an Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI soundcard. I can't get any of my sound programs (tvtimes, Audacity etc.) to recognize PCM on ALSA. I will save you from the whole tale of woe. But ... What does the above error message mean in practical terms? And, how do I begin to chase down a solution? Regards Bill
