Why do think that alsamixer levels in FC 1 would have anything to do
with the levels in FC4 after the upgrade.

Since I have never heard of aumix nor Alsa  I can't comment on their
use. system sounds , bells and dings have nothing to do with the
channels for inputing  radio into FC4. Above you are talking I assume
the physical line in to your machine. That is also not what i asked
about. alsamixer is the program to adjust the internal sound channels
of which there are more than 10. It is these channel levels I am
referring to.

Of course, it also possible that aumix and Alsa do the same thing as
alsamixer and I am all wet.
