At least 4 ways of controlling the volume kmix - Does not show Master but responds to "Front" with image of a plug kmix - Slider in Panel shows Microphone and does nothing pavucontrol - Does things vlc - Volume slider does things K-Administration/Sound Card Detection does things too mplayer does not distort but I much prefer vlc at the moment kplayer volume control does link to pavucontrol! Is there anywhere that explains the interaction between all the sound components ? This is the only real problem I have had with F8 - very good, thanks everyone!!!! VMware, Icedtea, mozilla-plugin-config, stablemirrors, KDM, KDE, kino (pulseaudio not supported) realplayer10gold, Flash, Acroread, kmod-nvidia(update kernel hickup) All working John
