Hey, I'm attempting to have different sound levels for applications. so for example let mplayer blast the sound out at 100%, pidgin at 75% and the os itself also at 100%. I though dmix was the way to do this but i can't seem to find any good "How To's" on doing this. I did found this: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DmixPlugin#Getting_mplayer_to_work http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Mplayer_(Howto) But both didn't work for me. i'm running Fedora 7 and it's installed from the KDE Live CD (right after fedora 7 was released). Currently i'm having alot programs installed and even a few testing and F8 stuff but that shouldn't be a problem. I am having normal sound here but just want to be able to change the sound levels for individual programs instead of all at one. I hope someone could help me with this, Mark.
