Volume control on panel

[sunwatt]

I think maybe the original volume icon on the panel was deleted. And I replaced it with the one from right click, Add to panel.

I dono...

But when I enter sound properties the mixer is very simple, no hardware tab. Not the full featured mixer.

I'm trying to setup a bluetooth headphone. My bluetooth found the new headphones, and they communicated.

But I was told in another post - Re: Bluetooth music/headphones - the headphones must be setup using the hardware tab, in the mixer.

I'm using a Dell Vostro A90 (same as a Mini 9) running LMDE.

Where is the full featured mixer? Is mine missing? Can it be recovered, or reinstalled?

thanks

When you left click the Mixer Icon you should get a menu like the attached, where you can choose what is included in the mixer to make it full functioning.

There are several volume controller applets, one I am using is called

Code: Select all

gnome-volume-control-applet

The only one I have found that works with pulseaudio properly.

Mind you I use the Fluxbox window manager so it might not be the same one as you used to have I don't know.

When I left click my speaker icon the horizontal volume slider pops up. If I click on the volume control button under the slider the mixer comes up. Then I click the preferences button, and I can check boxes and add more sliders to the mixer.

But none of them makes the Hardware tab showup that I need.

Thanks for the reply

I guess I could remove the speaker icon I have, and try adding that. If its no help I cud always put it back.

I did uninstall pulseaudio to fix my sound problems.

OK, it wasnt installed, so I installed it. Maybe I need to reboot.

No change, same mixer as before, from the icon or menue.

Well, I found Pulse audio manager in the applications, sound and video menu.

It doesnt seem to be working.

Maybe cuz I uninstalled pulseaudio to make my sound work.

There is a devices tab, but no hardware tab.

Not sure if I reinstall pulseaudio that this will send audio to the headphones, or not.

The bluetooth headphones are communicating with bt on my laptop at least
