There's also mixctrl (from a command prompt) or aumix (another graphical 
program).

. If /dev/dsp has proper permissions and it is acting like just the volume 
. may be too low, you might want to check out /dev/mixer. Also, look into 
. a program called xmixer. xmixer is a configuration program for 
. /dev/mixer. Might be able to help.
