I just installed Hoary.
I set the gnome volume control to control my realtek nforce2 (ALSA mixer)'s PCM device and I am able to control the volume of my system sounds just fine.
I then installed mplayer-586 and xmms.
xmms didnt work... I went into the config and made sure it was using alsa as the output method and even played with the device stuff. It wouldnt work. I switched it to esound and it worked. Which I guess is good for xmms, but what about mplayer? by default it tries to use the default alsa device as it should, but which doesnt work.
am I going to have to play with the settings of every program that I want to hear sound from to make it work? Or is there something I am missing?
