I've searched all the forum entries for this but still have a problem.

What I'm trying to do should be quite simple - raise the volume on mplayer. Evidently you have to get to the root file and then a file called mplayer.config or similar. I have learnt how to "become root" and can access the mplayer file. I get a list of mplayer functions and then the line
/home/user #

Then when I try .mplayer/conf or similar I get

not found or
permission denied.

What am I doing wrong?
