installing speakup on the netbook

[Øyvind Lode]

Hi:

I suggest not to set volume to 100%.
When I set my Intel HDA to 100% there are no audio.

amixer set Master 80% on
amixer set PCM 80% on
amixer Front 80% on

80-90 should be a safe range.

Subject: Re: installing speakup on the netbook

I was going off of what the guy at the store where I got it said, as I've
not seen either brand before, I was looking around and it turns out the
hardware from the lspci and that booted into grml didn't match an asus, so I
went and had someone read the label to find the model. Turns out the guy
can't read, and I've got an acer.

It's talked about modprobe snd_intel_hda, and I've tried that as well as
using dashes instead of underline, to no affect for audio. unmuting doesn't
seem to have done anything, either.

Any other ideas? as I said, I'm sort of shooting in the dark, as I have no
sound and thus, no speech.

		Thanks,
