I cannot get any application that I run to control the volume. I get sound but am not able to adust the volume level. So far the following apps have shown this problem: MPlayer Xine XMMS KMix Noatun (no sound at all so may be different issue) Kaboodle I am running FreeBSD 5.4/KDE 3.2.4 with a Sound Blaster Live! sound card. My sndstat: pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> at io 0xb800 irq 11 kld snd_emu10k1 (4p/2r/4v channels duplex default) so the card is recognized. I have adjusted the virtual channels in sysctl.conf and the sndstat shows there are 4v chanels. I have both esound and arts. Thought this may be an issue but both are dependencies of KDE-Multimedia So far I have tried the following: 1) Updating ports and ran portmanager. No effect. 2) Changed KControl->Sound System to use the following in all combinations: Autodetect Threaded OSS OSS Full Duplex /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dspW0.0 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dspW0.1 No avail. 3) Tried OSS drivers instead of FreeBSD native. Could not initialize the card. 4) Rebuilt both esound and arts. No effect I have googled this yet cannot find any post with similar issue (except one in which the onboard card was not deactivated. I do not have an onboard). The only other thing I could think of is to update the whole system in buildworld. Not really excited about this option as everything else is working great (don't want to mess with it). I use this as my primary desktop so I don't want to be down for that long. Anyone have any ideas or a direction to point me in? Thanks in advance, David
