"rpm -q > --changelog pulseaudio" will probably tell you more. I gave wrong version # for pulseaudio packages in Mandriva. It's 0.9.21. And Fedora pulseaudio packages are also 0.9.21. Fedora KMix [version 3.6-alpha2 updated from Redhat/Fedora KDE-testing repo] is indeed showing alsa controls currently. Also upon further investigation I may not have the problem I thought I had. I did a fresh install of Fedora 12 x86_64 formatting both / and /home partitions so all files would be fresh/default. Sound behavior is different from my original Fedora 12 install [still have that too]. It shows the original/default volume in KMix [Master Channel] as 21%. It also had some channels muted like front, center, surround, and LFE which I had to unmute all to hear sound. This 21% volume was actually to low so I installed and opened pavucontrol and set Output devices to 31% which set KMix Master Volume to 61% which is good for me. Now here's one thing that seems strange to me. When I logout or reboot with KMix open when it plays the shutdown sound volume automatically lowers to 22% and I can barely hear log out sound. When I log back in with KMix open volume is again 61% until login sound plays when volume lowers automatically to 22% and when login sound finishes volume returns to 61%... Don't know if this is what it's supposed to do or not. After a number of reboots I added Redhat/Fedora KDE repo and installed KDE 4.4.1 from kde-testing. And shutdown/startup sound behavior remained. ie. lowering automatically to 22% when startup sound started and after startup sound finished volume automatically changed to the 61% I had set. At any rate my NEW Fedora install certainly has a volume level, except for startup/shutdown sound, that I find very usable. Will see if anything changes as I try more apps and tests. I don't know what changed in my original Fedora install to cause startup/shutdown volume to shoot to 100%. I'm probably just going to move what little data I have there to new Fedora partition and see what happens. Hope this all makes sense. Let me if it doesn't or more info or test are desired. -- Thanks, Dwight Paige
