[Grml] swspeak, sound shutdown on eeePC

Hello,

after spending a lot of time i was able to boot grml 1.1 rC6 from a usb- stick. The swspeak starts also as brltty, but i do not hear anything.

I also did not hear anything playing a mp3-file with mplayer.

How can i set up the volume or unmute the soundcard, so that i can hear anything.

If i shutdown the eepc with the command shutdown -h now, the PC did not shutdown properly. To turn the eeePC off, i must press the button for POWER.

Regards

Dietmar
