Which can be dangerous to your installation. You are using what is called the 'shotgun' method. What does that mean? Think about using a shotgun to try to kill a single housefly buzzing around your living room. I can understand you frustrations. Truly. And Gnome-Volume-Control, as you have been told by several people, has absolutely nothing to do with audio volume. What does that mean? that you are trying to solve your problem but twiddling with the wrong package. From what you are describing you are looking at a KDE GUI audio mixer application. And that I can not help you with because I do not use KDE. -- David
