Sound outputs, Fluxbox Mint 9,

[bordy]

Hey
Just come from Mint8 (plain version) which had a Sound category under the Control Panel. Where abouts is the equivalent in the new Fluxbox Mint 9? Doesn't seem to be Sound under "FluxMenu-> System Tools-> Preferences"... I need the equivalent for selecting different sound outputs (HDMI passing, etc). I have the ATI proprietary drivers installed, but the control centre for that seems like just video stuff.

The old setup did use pulseaudio, which I don't think is the case any more, but if anyone can help, that'd be cool, I'm not a regular Mint user, just helping install.

Cheers

hey again

fluxbox isidora is going great, and i love it, but...
i'd really love some help with this, it's driving me nuts.

so, to recap and elaborate

* Gnome ALSA Mixer - has 2 tabs: all unmuted under Realtek ALC 269 (am I supposed to have Realtek?)
- nothing under ATI R6xx HDMI tab

So the main problem is that sound works okay out of the laptop internal speakers, but no mic working and no HDMI audio output (or I don't know how to select it)

The main question is how do I find the equivalent to the "Sound preferences" from Gnome Mint? Do i need to, even? Do i need pulseaudio to try to achieve this?

*Absolutely* any help - I would so much appreciate it.
