rerouting volume icon to adjust headphone levels?


My laptop's sound seems to be controlled from KDE's mixer's headphone slider. Thats ok, but i would like to reroute the simple sound leveler in the kicker tray to adjust that headphone level so that i needn't open the full mixer any more.

any ideas? I am running MEPIS 3.3.1 with KDE 3.3 on an Acer 3001LCi.

Thanks!

The Kmix volume control on the taskbar is for the master volume... if you have a 3 button or wheel mouse you don't need to open Kmix to adjust, but I don't think you can add an applet for separate channels...just for the master.

the master volume isn't affecting my headphone volume, which controls my speakers (and therefor IS my master volume). I don't want to add to that one volume slide, I just want to change what it controls.

I had the same problem with my soundcard intel ICH6.
On a web site I saw this solution:
you have to modify the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file:

before:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0

after:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0 ac97_quirk=2

reboot (or unload and reload sound modules) and now the master is active, no more headphone level and I could again control kmix volume without open the entirely application.

Hope it works for you too!!!

A +

Romain.
