I would want it but perhaps there are too many other things in front of it. > What is the default program for this? I believe it's > gnome-volume-control? Does this provide the same functionality? Yes, I think it is gnome-volume-control. It is my understanding that it provides nearly the same functionality, but not completely the same functionality (I haven't used it, just seen discussions about it). I think that pavucontrol must be trying to access your HDMI device from your video card, and this is not working. I have no trouble at all accessing sound devices as a normal user with either F12 or F14. I've never seen that message. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
