For general background on how the whole KDE->PA stuff works, please read the various articles on my blog about KDE integration with PA. http://colin.guthr.ie/tag/kde/ In the short term, I'll make a prediction: 1. You use the Xine backend for PA, 2. You are using phonon 4.4.1 from Gitorious. If so, then it's my fault :$ I managed to break the default volume setting with Xine+PA in 4.4.1, but it's fixed in git with this commit: http://gitorious.org/phonon/phonon/commit/b44f19d7038f7e6182db4d29aee39dab569193fd You'll also probably want this one: http://gitorious.org/phonon/phonon/commit/1eb324f60f8df6bc7a866679919d79f1a2a3ff81 If this is not the case, please let me know and I'll try and think of other ideas :D Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
