Appended is what it looks like (I shrunk my terminal window down so I could copy without linewrap--don't know if the 'line' characters will come through). And I would PREFER a tool that's integrated with my desktop, that nicely tucks away into the taskbar, that I can call up to change the volume with a single click, instead of a text-mode program I have to open a terminal window and use the keyboard to control. Persnickety of me, I know. Incidentally, playing around with it and Kmix I discovered that the two controls labelled Master do nothing, but the one labeled Headphone controls the volume. And yes, I checked the rear of the computer--it's not plugged into the headphone jack (I don't have one). So ... how do I (a) either convince ALSA/kmix that the master control should (duh) control the volume, or (b) tell Kmix to display the headphone slider when I click on the taskbar icon, instead of the master slider? ââââââââââââ[AlsaMixer v1.0.6 (Press Escape to quit)]âââââââââââ â Card: VIA 8235 â â Chip: VIA Technologies VIA1612A â â Item: Master â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â ââââ â â â â â â â â â â â â ââââ â â â â â â â â â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â â â ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ ââââ â â 74<>68 52 52<>52 53 53 â â < Master > Master M Headphon 3D Contr 3D Contr 3D Contr â ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
