* Alsa-and-More Trebble, with Speakup? @ Hart Larry ` Willem van der Walt 0 siblings, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Hart Larry @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Well, we upgraded to FC5, however, running an external U S B creative mp3 sound card, we see no settings in alsamixer for increasing the highs or trebble. We even looked in the graphical desktop, but no more options. While in windows I can have a plugin in winamp which does improve the frequency response. So, back in linux, we install zinf but no improvements. So are their any commandline speech friendly tools I can add to increase the trebble? I searched several sites but only found some gtk packages, which I guess won't help? Thanks in advance for any tips, links, or direct packages.

Make sure you have amixer installed and use that. It is a bit of a pain but normally show all controls to the sound card.

Does the particular card actually have treble and other EQ controls built in? Or are those windows controls just software ones? So is a software EQ required?

There are no bass or trebble controls on the card using either alsamixer or rexima. It looks like a software eq is needed for this one, assuming there even is such a thing. I also noticed that alsamixer seems to mess up some controls on this one so that when you set the record volume of the mic you can't seem to change it if you want the mic to not come through the speakers or headphones. Maybe someone can help me with this one.

Marcel Oats 0 siblings, 2 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Lists @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.' Hi All, Any help with the below would be great. I added an entry into my "stab file" while in root. It was to activate a usb floppy drive. Now I can no longer boot up normally into linux but am told I have a file system error and I can hear the usb floppy drive being activated. I think fedora is looking for a linux file system on a floppy disk. It is giving me choices to do a repair of the file system or just reboot which only brings me back round to the same situation again. I really need to edit the stab file but can't get access to it even though I am in a kind of root terminal. Good old speakup is still up and running however so at least I have speech to do what I need.However I only have read only permissions on anything in this area so can't do much in the way of changing anything. Here is the line I entered in the stab file: /dev/sda /mnt/usbfd auto noauto,user 0 0 I know I goofed on this one,*smiles*. Any help would be appreciated.

Marcel Oats 1 sibling, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. At the grub prompt do: a s which will take you to single user mode where you can work on things. If that fails for the same reason, do 'i' during startup to get the opportunity to say "yes" and "no" to each module before it's loaded. You would say "no" to usb, of course. You'll have to be crafty to get the 'i' in on time. There's only a short window. I'd start tapping that key every few seconds around the time speakup starts, and keep pressing 8 on the numeric to see where you are.

Hi, just a thought: could you grab grml, boot into it using the speakup options? It should mount your filesystem, allowing you to edit fstab. I know grml is Debian based, but it might still work.
