Hi I have just had the most awful, tedious and time consuming experience when attempting to select the default system wide audio device for my laptop computer. I have a laptop with an Intel HDA onboard Audio chip and also on board Harman/Kardon - and I also have an Audigy 2 ZS PCMICIA card. In Gnome gnome-sound-properties it is as simple as selecting the default system wide Audio device via a simple applet and drop down menu. Windows XP also has a similar facility in it's control panel. However this seems to somehow have been omitted from KDE, thereby necessitating that the user must hack through what in many cases may seem like several very obscure configuration files. Ideally there should be a similar facility in KDE control as there is in gnome-sound-properties and Windows XP control panel - but which also allows you to select certain features of your card. (For example in my case I would like my Audigy PCMCIA card to still use the onboard speakers). Is it likely that any such facility will be provided in the foreseeable future? ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
