Re: [Fedora] KMix volume sliders
I'm revisiting this because there didn't seem to have been any
suggestions as to a possible fix. Marko seconded the multitude of
sliders and commented on the linear versus exponential volume slider,
while Tim pointed out that you really do want a logarithmic slider, not
linear. But, we still don't have a solution for my initial problem
posted below. And I'd also like to add something else I noticed today:
SB Live! has two speaker outputs, labeled channel 1 and 2. Under XP, I
can get both channels to work simultaneously (and thus allowing me to
use 2 sets of speakers.) But no amount of slider configuration or
turning on or off of the little red and green indicators would output
sound on the second channel - everything's on the first one. So...is
that another undocumented "feature"? Something missing?

In KMix, everything seems to fall under the PCM (and Master) volume
sliders. How can I fix it so that when I'm playing MIDI files it
routes through the correct volume slider (whichever that might be) and
when I'm playing MP3, it goes through the PCM one?
Looking at all the KMix channels available to me, I have:
Wave Center, Wave LFE, Wave Surround, Master, Headphone, Bass,
Treble (which incidentally don't do anything either one - *update:*
these works now), 3D Control Sigmatel - Depth, PCM, Center, LFE, PC
Speaker, and AC97. Under the Input tab there's a whole slew of
sliders, and under Switches tab there are a few more.
Everything seems to get routed through the PCM channel and I can
control volume using that slider and the Master volume slider. When I
used this card under WinXP, I was able to get MIDI through the MIDI
channel (or Synth), MP3/Wave through a separate one, and the PC
speaker through a different one, so I could individually control each
one. Is this possible under unix?
