[FIXED] Sound/volume control problem

[Ryan R.]

Ok, it's time to open mouth and insert foot I believe.  I've long since
lost the manual for this sound card, and have ripped the computer apart so
many times since the manual was last seen.  To make a long, rather
embarrassing story short, I had my speakers hooked up incorrectly.  I hate
when the solution is so simple that you think it could never be that easy.
 I believe a wise man once said... "Doh!"

Thanks though, I had never heard of bmp, and at first glance it looks
pretty nice.  I'll have to see if I like it more than xmms.
