Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510786 When I plug in my external usb speakerphone (fm1083), it shows in kmix. But now (F11), I can't use kmix to set the mic volume. The slider doesn't work. It just jumps to zero and won't allow you to set it. If I open 'advanced audio control' I can set it, and the slider displayed by kmix simultaneously adjusts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdemultimedia-4.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64
What is "advanced audio control"?

It is provided to cover use cases the new : GNOME volume control application cannot handle.
For further inspection I need to see your KMix configuration. It is in below your home directory, either below ~/.kde4/ or ~/.kde/. share/config/kmixrc share/apps/kmix/profiles/*
Please also post the ouput of "amixer" (or "amixer -c 1" or any other number that corresponds to the affected soundcard).
The problem was that by default, the mic doesn't appear. Hidden away under settings/configure channels (IIRC), I can turn the mic display on. Still a bug IMO, but not the one I thought.
