[Linux-disciples] hotkeys volume control

[Karl Sokol]

So, these are the mods that seemed relevant to sound. I notice the absence
of an entry similar to your "snd_mixer_oss 19296 1 snd_pcm_oss" OSS is not
configuered as an output device at all. That is, only alsa works with xmms.

Since alsamixer works on its own, is it possible to see what module or
device it is using?

snd_intel8x0 29984 3
snd_ac97_codec 64608 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm 84872 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer 23300 1 snd_pcm
snd 50276 9 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 9824 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 9604 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

Thanks for the google link, but I did rather extensive searching and did not
see many instances of this problem, except for a few people as clueless as
myself http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=23273
It seems like it has more to do with the setup of the mixer than the
keyboard.
