I switched to Kubuntu a while back after using Windows 7 since it was released. One feature I find missing is being able to set the sound level of individual applications via a general interface. In Windows 7, if you click the sound icon in the task-bar, and then 'mixer' or something, you get a list off all applications 'making noise', and can manipulate the sound levels loose of anything application specific. Is there a similar feature build in into Kubuntu, or otherwise available for download?

If kmix is built with pulseaudio support it can do this (at least in 4.5), although you have to open the mixer window (it doesn't appear in the system tray applet).

The veromix scripted plasma widget will also provide volume controls for all open applications if you are using pulseaudio, although apparently only for output devices.

TheBlackCat - please confirm this is not available on openSuse 11.3

KMix with Pulseaudio support does not ship with openSUSE 11.3 it seems.

you might look at Veromix (a Pulseaudio volume control) http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/xA ... ent=133134 it sounds like what you're looking for

It is available for KDE:Distro:Factory, I know because I was the one who got it working.

Hey I think you cant set individual applications sound lever in Kubuntu this felicity is only in windows vista and windows 7. and there is so many features in windows 7 only and that is way I like windows 7.

As I said, with pulseaudio this is possible. I am not sure whether kubuntu builds their version of kmix with pulseaudio support, but it is not difficult to do if they wanted to. It is certainly not a feature unique to windows, KDE does support it, but it is up to individual distributions to decide whether they want to make use of the feature or not.

Even if distributions decide not to build kmix with this feature, anyone can install the veromix scripted widget. I have the veromix widget sitting in my system tray right now that lets me control volume levels for individual applications.

I got the veromix widget and it's exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the support

will this feature ever be default? Or at least have the option to set "playback streams" when you click the dock for "system try volume control"
