Re: [orca-list] Trying To Set The Sound For Orca

Glenn:

A couple of commands you mind find helpful:

1.)     Get a list of all your audio cards:

aplay -l |grep -i card

2.)     Get a list of all the controls having to do with volume on a
given card X:

amixer -c X controls |grep -i volume

3.)     Note that some controls have an on/off switch in addition to the
volume setting. Clearly this is important, because no volume setting
will work if the switch is in the off position.
