X86_64 FC2 problems on ASUS K8V SE Deluxe system

[David McCormick]

I found the problem for the sound.  There is a main volume control in 
the mixer panel but there is also one for the cd itself in the panel and 
you have to turn both up, and then you have to turn the one on the 
deskctop panel up also.  Way to many controls when just one would do the 
job.
