This only works if your sound card supports hardware mixer. A lot of modern cards, e.g. usb ones don't have one. With pulseaudio, it doesn't matter whether one has it; also the volume level you've set is per-application. I.e. with pulseaudio it works exactly as you described, BUT that volume doesn't affect other applications. Without PA: you stop playback in your audacious (100% volume). You run mplayer. You set mplayer's volume level to 50%. You run mplayer again. Your volume level is still 50%. You resume playback in audacious. Ack! your volume is 50% even there. With PA: everything is the same, except your volume level in audacious is still 100%. And if you run mplayer again, the level would be 50% in it (of course, you can disable PA feature which remembers volume level upon application exit) -- Vladimir ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
