Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) It would be nice if the user could set his/her standard mixing device so the tray volume control could be used for a "default" device. Example: I got two sound cards (let's call it a and b). My default card is a, but the card I use for playback is b. When I click the tray icon, the volume control only controls the volume for the card a.

I do not agree bug 47110 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47110) being a duplicate of this whish! Depending on the implementation of this whish, one might be able to workaround bug 47110, but without user interventention, Kmix would by default still select the wrong mixer element. The behaviour as described in bug 47110 is still desierable: "e behaviour that I would is expect is that the mixer takes the master volume if there is one and if there is no master volume it should take the PCM volume." Thanks
It should allow to choose both the mixing device AND the master/pcm/bass whatever we want! My AC97 intel i810 doesn't changes the volume when I touch the master, it wants headphones level ;-)
I have the same very frustrating experience with i810 based audio on my work machine. Adjusting 'Volume' in kmix does nothing, but adjusting 'PCM' controls the volume just fine. Being unable to define PCM as the 'default' channel in kmix leaves applet volume control and multimedia-key volume control useless. How difficult would it be to allow for default channel selection in kmix? I know that the equivalent gnome 2.4 tool allows you to choose the primary channel for volume control. Why doesn't kmix?

This problem affects more and more people. Raising Severity from wishlist to Normal.

Got the same Problem with my intel i810, need to pick the headphone volume as default, so that the kmix panel would be useful. The default selected Master is without function. Gnome mixer does this, and it woulf be great if kmix would do it also
Information: This feature is targeted for KDE3.4.1.

For your information: If you compile KDE yourself from KDE HEAD you can start trying the requested feature now: Right-Click on the tray-icon and choose "Select Master". Now you can choose any channel you like on any of your supported soundcards. Please note that your choice is not saved yet (will be done soon). Any comments should be directed to me via personal mail and not posted in this bugreport.

Done. The feature is now available in SVN trunk. It will also ship with KDE3.4.2 .

Still doesn't appear to save the correct channel..unless it's just me.
Thanks for all the work so far on this though!
About Comment 19 (Joe Crollard): It works reliably here and on several other Linux boxes. Probably not every code piece was commited at the time of your writing. Thus I'll close this bug report soon. If you encounter problems, we can reopen this bug report afer KDE3.4.2.

I love this feature. You're the man.
The main volume control is set to PC speaker by standard. Turning it seems to have no effect. It think it should point to the "Front"-slider of my sound card by default!!
