CrunchBang Linux

Hi there... I know it has been a long time since this thread was started but I wanted to ask how everything went and see if you could offer me any advice. I have the acer aspire 8730G with the touch volume slider.

I recently had some laptop issues so installed windows 7 over the vista that came with the machine.... now my volume slider doesn't work. The mute button does and the stop and forward etc but the slider merely brushes the volume on anything playing not affecting it much in the slightest.

I've tried quite a few things but i'm not very up on acer tech so I don't know what to try now... looks like it's just gunna be a non-usable feature unless you guy know of something I can try. I was hoping maybe there was some way of tampering with the launch manager files perhaps? or ever getting something to trick the system into thinking it is vista and running it as normal.

It was all working fine before the OS change and it surprised me how much i rely on the little slider! Thanks for any help.

Simon.
