gnome-volume-control 2.27.5 missing features

**modmadmike** · July 30th, 2009

(I tried to report it in launchpad but kept getting errors)
In ubuntu Karmic alpha3 (9.10) the new volume control is missing some features that were available in 9.04 such as switches for controls such as analogue loop-back and surround up-mixing, personally I prefer the older volume control found in Jaunty because Im more used to it (I think there should be an option to switch between the new and the old when karmic is released) and I find it easier, but I like the controls for individual applications.

If you feel very experimental, you may try OSS4
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound

It has a very interesting OSS Mixer, and some other things too.

ossmix
ossinfo -v3Also, you'll want to note if the osstest command works and plays sound.
