Where are the audio controls? I don't have any sound as far as I can tell, and I wanted to check to see if it was muted, but there are zero audo controls anywhere so far as I can tell.

Re: no audio
Use PCManFM to find it in /usr/share/applications. It's probably called "Volume Control." When you open it there is a graphic, and it probably shows the sound muted. Just "uncheck" the mute box and raise the little graphical slider up.BobCov wrote:Where are the audio controls?

Also you may want to simply run the update manager on a regular basis. Several little "bugs" can be fixed just by updating your software.

Re: no audio
Bit hacky, but to unmute on login you can make a script that gets called when you login to reset alsa (I couldn't get this to work as rc.local for some reason...)
duncan@acer-netbook:~$ cd .config/autostart/
duncan@acer-netbook:~/.config/autostart$ ls
resetalsa.desktop
duncan@acer-netbook:~/.config/autostart$ cat resetalsa.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name= ResetAlsa
Comment=Resets Alsa
Exec=/sbin/alsactl restore
Then you can set audio as you like and save the state it with "/sbin/alsactl store".
The above script will load this back in when you restart lxde...
(might need to change permission on asounds.state).
As I said, it's a bit hacky, I'm sure there's a better way

Re: no audio
Hi
Same problem for me: audio ok with gdm but nothing with slim.
Solved like that:
If you have "exec startlxde" in .xinitrc
Remove this line and try "exec ck-launch-session startlxde"

Re: no audio
I cannot locate any file with ".xinitrc" as part of the name to check it. What directory should I look in for that file? Even the file search option didn't find it.FreelY wrote:Hi

/home/ur_login/.xinitrcWhat directory should I look in for that file?
The xinit program is used to start the X, but if you are on ubuntu you have to create the file manually (and probably install xinit)
I'm on ArchLinux and the problem is solved for me but there are maybe an other way if you have an other distro...
good luck
