With this turned on (and I found 3.07 to want to do this even with it off!), you get a bunch of messages during the boot cycle (before PrtSc would be of any use, actually). > >> in %ETC%\ACPID.CFG >> >> For sound, I have the following in my unimix setup params, loaded from >> startup.cmd (unimix.exe -loadc:\mmos2\unimix.ini): >> >> -id3 -cnt0 -val1 >> -id3 -cnt1 -val1 >> -id27 -val33 >> > > I have nothing that I can find about 'unimix'... > > Yes, there is a \mmos2\unimix.exe, but no *.ini anywhere that I see. > > I just named my dumpfile unimix.ini.

I found that when I used the initial setting per Curtis, I was only enabling the left speaker (channel), so I added the rest. I then set the preferred volume. I currently have no hardware volume control except for mute; the up/down buttons have no effect, and I guess this is due to ACPI. >> (N.B.: Those are not the contents of unimix.ini, merely the relevant >> settings.

I just don;t like to do that to a mailing list (although this one is small, and I have a 3MB size limit set for attachments), as I never know where people might be or on what device they may be receiving messages (cell phone with larger limit set for message size, etc.). > [I try to avoid anything associated with Yahoo.
