really low sound - realtek alc861
well when i try to play music, i put it at max volume in my music player (xmss) and it is really low. so, first i checked the system sound (the little speaker icon on my task bar near the time display). that was also pushed to the max.
after searching the forums some, i went into apps>sound and video>volume control and saw that it had the hda intel device listed. i switched it to my realtek and messed with the bars to maximize my sound. what i ended up having was slightly louder sound, but nothing really that great at all. i had to put the volume column to max, and line in column to about a third of the way up. any more on the line in and the speakers begin to sound all crackled with static.
then i went into system>preferences>sound. under default sound card, it lists hda intel, but it doesn't give me the option to switch to my realtek. any ideas on how to improve my sound output?

i'm running the latest beta of feisty 7.04, so far everything is great, but i do have one small problem.
i need to be able to run both versions of firefox (i use the old one for a specific web based classroom application for some of my classes), but i'm having trouble.
2.0.0.3 runs fine, but when i download and extract 1.5.11 to it's own directory and run ./firefox from where i extracted the files, it just fires up version 2 instead. is there any way to have both versions installed and running from two separate icons?

cd-rom name change, can't mount now
my issue is i booted my computer up about a week ago and it said there were no cd-roms, so i checked my bios and everything was there but i noticed that the names of the drives had changed so i was wondering if there is a way to re-detect them?
i have been using ubuntu for a about two years and usually can resolve these things; however i can't figure this out for the life of me.

mount iso bin/cue ccd/img nrg with konqueror
you can use the mountiso kde service menu in konqueror to mount iso, bin/cue, img/cue and nrg images, convert nrg, bin, ccd to iso images, create iso or udf images, and there are also utilities to identify an iso type and calculate md5 checksums. konqueror is the default file manager for kde, but gnome and xfce users can use konqueror as well. it would not be difficult to re-write the mountiso kde service menu as a nautilus-script.

add the universe repository, if you haven't already:

install build-essential, checkinstall, automake1.6, libtool, gcc-3.4, bchunk, nrg2iso:

code:
sudo apt-get install konquerorinstall the appropriate linux-headers for your system. (pick one):
code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-686 # celeron / pentium pro / ii / iii / 4 without hyper-threading
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-k7 # amd
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-386 # pentium (basic driver)
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-686-smp # pentium 4 with hyper-threading (multi-processor)
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-k7-smp # amd multi-processorreboot if necessary to take advantage of the linux-headers you've just installed. it's ok to remove linux-headers-386, if you don't need them anymore, but only after you've rebooted with your new headers.

note: use the ` symbol, not the ' symbol.
note: sudo make install is used, because sudo checkinstall doesn't work here.

;;save the file and close gedit. then continue:
code:
./install.shthe install script will tell you which components you already have installed, and then offer you some options.
select:
2 - install mount-iso using kdesu
the install script will create some service menu files.
open konqueror and right-click an image to mount it. right-click the image again to unmount it.
note: installation option 1 - install mount-iso using sudo doesn't work, because ubuntu deals with kdesu and sudo differently than other distributions. the install script needs to be modified in order to use sudo instead of kdesu.
note: mountiso will mount the images to a new folder at ~/desktop.
note: mountiso doesn't warn you if the image file is corrupt. if nothing happens, when you try to mount a file, then something is probably wrong with your image, or the image file uses advanced options that aren't supported by the mountiso package.
note: you can also download ccd2iso from here:

hi there,
i'm having a weird problem. i just installed kubuntu 6.10 i386 with nvidia beta drivers and beryl. it all runs well, accept that windows that i close in this session will reappear after the restart. it is even worse, when i open other programs, they will also reappear.
i tried to change the setting: kcontrol -) session manager -) on login to "start with an empty session", but no luck. i ran kcontrol as sudo.
please let me know if you can help me in any way!
