Hi.

My dude is not exactly about amarok. I use amarok, it\'s the best player I know.

I use KDE 3.3.2 in SuSE 9.2.

I read that arts it\'s not a good daemon sound. And I decided to use other method. I used ESD and it was worked, I can use various applications and the control of volume was independent (Kplayer, amarok).

But I read a message in kde forum, it adviced to use dmix. And I\'ll configure dmix (with a little of problems). Actually, I can play various applications (mplayer, kplayer, amarok) with dmix but I have one problem: the control of volume isn\'t independent.

Is there any mode with dmix to have a control of volume for each application?

I\'m very grateful if someone can help me. I\'m sorry if the topic of the message isn\'t correct in this forum.

Thanks.

amaroK lets you not use the \'hardware\' volume control, I think thats what you want. Its there in the option. I wouldn\'t think dmix would make any difference.

esd has the same shortcomings as artsd, BTW.

Thanks.

I don\'t use the hardware control, amarok only changes the volume of amarok. The problem is with Kplayer and mplayer.

By your message, I suppose your recommend dmix and alsa about arts or esd, no?
