volumn control
Hi, I've just switched to kubuntu and found it hardly possible to control the volumn. It seemed that volumn can't be changed even in mplayer other than via the function keys on my keyboard.
Well, anybody knows how to handle it? Is it asssociated with my audio driver? Thanx in advance. |

that does not help with the keyboard solution
hi, ehawk, i tried the website you recommend, well, i still can't control it in mplayer, nor using kayboard.
anyway, kmix on the panel can control volumn. |
When you say that you cannot use the keyboard to control the volume, do you mean special-purpose media keys on the keyboard?
|
yes, the special keys

I see. You might need to set the model of your keyboard like this (if it is listed):
Kubuntu is configured by default that if it seems a keypress of a media key identified as volume up or down it will adjust show the volume level and show a small volume level meter in the centre of the screen. Another way to see if it's working properly is to use the xev program. This stands for x event viewer. If you start this program from a terminal (just type xev into a terminal and hit return), you will see s small window appear. If you mouse-over this window a load of text will print in the terminal with listings of mouse movement events. Leave the mouse of the window and press the media key. If the key is identified correctly you will see something like this when you release the key: Code:
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, |
