Just bringing up a Centos-6 (x86_64, FWIW) and I can't find the mixer app... on my C5 box(es), double click on the speaker icon in the top panel and I get a mixer app appears on the screen. My new C6 box doesn't do that. I've installed all the PULSEAUDIO RPMS I can find, but still nothing. what am I missing here? thanks! Fred

If you don't have a Notification Area on your panel, then you won't see it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

To get the mixer, right-click on the icon and select 'Sound Preferences'. Or just run the gnome-volume-control command directly. -- Liam

Both are available in the Linuxtech repo for Centos 6. http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/ These are both traditional ALSA mixers that ignore Pulseaudio and provide you directly with the hardware audio controls. If (like myself) you have no use for Pulseaudio then you might consider uninstalling it, I wrote a HOW-TO about it here: http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=618 Andy
