volume control keyboard shortcuts help

Hello, I have keyboard shortcuts that can modify the master volume in KMix. However, on my laptop, the only plugin I have is for headphones. I can modify this volume manually with the Headphone control (obviously). However, there is not a keyboard shortcut for this particular control. Any way to hack this? Or is there another way to get what I want here? Thanks!

On my HP xw3100 desktop, the sound out is hard wired through the earphones volume. I'm not sure why!?! So, what I did was turn up the Headphones control to 100%. Then I have kmix setup to control the PCM volume. Maybe you can do something similar? Can you bind a key to the PCM volume? If so, this may be the workaround that you are looking for? -- Please reply to the mailing list.

Well, I went in to play around with it a bit more and realized that I could set shortcuts for each channel. Right now, volume up/down changes the master. I changed the shortcuts to control the headphone channel. However, this did nothing. The buttons still change the master for some reason. BUT, when I assign the headphone volume up/down to different keys ( I used keypad 7 and keypad 8 ), it works! So, something is "stuck" using the keyboard buttons I want. I checked my sound applications and kmix but they are all not set to use those buttons. Is there another application that is assigning these shortcuts? I checked control panel in kde as well. Thanks for any ideas. On 11/14/05, Alvin Beach <abeach@deepvision.ca> wrote:
