And once again you go on and on about "modern" and "these days", and
are
completely dismissive of "Right now" and "Yesterday".
I'm not sure about 'yesterday', but I can certainly speak about 'three
days ago'. That's when my father's new laptop arrived.
I'd just installed the flash player and was making sure YouTube worked,
when I realised that I can't actually turn the sound up enough to hear
it over the radio unless I install and run gnome-alsamixer and turn the
'Front' slider up...
My MacBook Pro has the same issue, but that's _months_ old now so
presumably it's more acceptable that it doesn't work right without
gnome-alsamixer?
