| gnome-volume-control is so terrible! it hurts innocent lives and still does. So this gnome-volume-control in Ubuntu 9.10 decided to be disgusting and insult my freedom to not use Pulseaudio. And I hate it. I can't get anything to work properly with it. Anyway. Is there a way to make gnome-volume-control (and gnome-volume-control-applet) to use just ALSA instead of Pukeaudio like in the good old Jaunty? |

| Pulseaudio works alongside ALSA. :/ |

| fuck pulseaudio I personally just run gmixer in the tray, which is more or less the same as gnome-volume-control-applet (and gnome-volume-control if you double click on it). it mixes on whatever device gstreamer is configured to use, regardless of backend. |

Yes. But when it's in use, nothing works but gnome-volume-control: LMMS produces no sound, JACK crashes, etc. |

| solution: uninstall pulseaudio or something. if you can't because your distribution makes everything depend on it for some reason, google around for ways to disable it |

I have uninstalled it. Everything works but the volume control. |

| I'm not familiar with gnome-volume-control but if you aren't terribly attached to it you might want to try something else. alsamixer is good but it's a terminal program. there should be others out there too. |
