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

["Glenn K0LNY" <glennervin cableone net>]

Hi Janina,
no matter what I did, amixer did not recognize my device, even after I tried 
several names that were listed with the cat command.
Finally I had to run alsamix and toggle the mute button and that did the 
trick.
Two or three days of headache for sure.
I have no idea how it got muted.
But I still cannot get sound in the gGUI.
I added root to the audio and pi is already part of the audio group.
But at least I am able to use espeakup in the cli now.

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.
