System: Linux 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 #1 Mon Jun 13 00:52:08 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Somewhere along the line my gnome-volume-control stopped working. It *was* working in FC3 and I seldom mess with it unless I'm doing something which requires the mixer -- like recording from an LP! Which means I have no idea what/when it got broken. (Perhaps an update? I've about given up using SElinux; seems like every update to selinux-policy-targeted kills something and I have to turn it off!) Sorry, got off on a tangent, there. Using the speaker icon on my task bar is futile: Attempting move the slider -- it just reverts to BOTTOM. Attempting to R-Click->Open Volume Control gets an error box which says: Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found. The sound works! Furthermore, alsamixer works. aumix/xaumix work. Somewhere along the line Gnome has lost the ability to "see" my sound devices. Anybody else seen this or have any clues? My built-in sound card Driver: snd-intel8x0 According to Hardware Browser: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Controller (MCP) AlsaMixer v1.0.6 (which sees *all* the goodies) says: Card: NVidia nForce2 Chip: Realtek ALC650F -- --------------------------------------------- Bill R.
