Each sound card provides a lot of devices. Looks like Ubuntu uses Alsa. When playing sound through the speakers/headphones, open alsamixer and play with the levels on Master, Headphone, PCM, etc. Master and one other one (maybe Headphone) should alter the volume. The applet probably is tied to PCM (you can probably determine this by looking at the applet config). -- David Dooling _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
