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

["Glenn K0LNY" <glennervin cableone net>]

I had included -c both 0 and 1 in my amixer command, and it did not like 
Master, and that is where I tried some names like bcm_2835 and the like, but 
nothing worked.
I'm reading stuff on-line now that indicates the HDMI settings may be 
interfering with the audio out in the GUI, but that may be just a rabbit 
hole.

Glenn:

People usually advise using card names when trying to change these
parameters. While that may work for many, it hasn't worked for me
particularly well. I usually do better referring to them by number, e.g.
-c 1 or -c 2.

Glad to hear you've gotten things working.
