LinuxQuestions.org - GUI mixer (ALSA?)

Hello,

I recently upgraded from FC11 to FC14 by backing up /home,
saving the output of "rpm -qa", repartitioning, installing FC14,
restoring /home, re-running "rpm -qa" and installing packages
that I had before.

But I noticed that the nice GUI mixer that I had before
which could allow me separately muting the speakers (conneced
to "front" jack) while leaving the signal to the headphone
jack is missing. I think it was an ALSA mixer but I'm not
100% sure. I downloaded alsa-driver-1.0.24.tar.bz2
but after

Code:

./configure --enable-dynamic-minors --with-moddir=updates

make

I encountered the error:

Code:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.35.11-83.hpfs.fc14.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/home/user/install_sources/alsa-driver-1.0.24  CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules

From some googling I saw a post mentioning this error with
some hints that this error is just the beginning
of bigger troubles so I didn't try going farther
along this way.

I attempted

Code:

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall gnome-alsamixer-0.9.6-5.fc14.x86_64.rpm

after downloading the rpm but what I've got was looking totally
different from the mixer I remember and I couldn't separately
mute the speakers while leaving the sound in the headphones
so I removed this package.

So, what can I do to have back the mixer like I had in FC11,
with the capability to separately mute the speakers?

The ALSA-relevant packages I have now are:

Code:

<localhost>.../KA_SCUBA>rpm -qa | grep alsa

alsa-lib-1.0.24-1.fc14.x86_64

alsa-tools-firmware-1.0.23-1.fc14.x86_64

report-plugin-localsave-0.20-1.fc14.x86_64

report-config-localsave-0.20-1.fc14.x86_64

alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.22-1.fc13.x86_64

alsa-lib-1.0.24-1.fc14.i686

alsa-utils-1.0.23-3.fc14.x86_64

alsa-lib-devel-1.0.24-1.fc14.x86_64

alsa-firmware-1.0.23-1.fc14.noarch

Thanks in advance for any help,
kaza.
