linspire-sound

For some reason I find my sound card is not as loud with linspire as it was with windows,Why?

incompatible driver would be my first thought.

(btw...how are you doing down there in N.O.? Things okay?)

Nah- It's just that the Linux & Windoze volume monitors start off at a different level.
Open the volume monitor icon in the tray (Or from the config section of the panel menu if its not there), and twiddle to your satisfaction.
