Volume question


Hi,

I've got a small problem, and although not a catatrophe, it's annoying. I run Slackware 10 and use KDE, but after all my efforts I can not get a simple volume control on the task bar like in Windows. I set up Kmix to dock in the panel and enable the system tray volume control, but when I click on it - it just opens the mixer. I don't get a simple slide control. I have searched and searched on this, but all the information tells me to do what I've already done above, which isn't working. So I'm hoping someone has some other ideas why this isn't working - or can provide an altrnative that I can use.

Gnome's volume control works fine, so I don't think it's a sound setting - but one never knows. I tried to get Gnome's to work in KDE, but haven't been able to get that to work either.

I also uninstalled and reinstalled the alsa driver - I wanted to upgrade it, but it won't compile properly and I can't find a Slackware package.

I've also set up alsa and my sound card is found and the sound is working. Just no volume control on the taskbar.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

if you have a scroll-mouse, just put the pointer on the " speaker " symbol of the mixer.
use scrolling to adjust volume.
