I recently installed RedHat 7.2 as a dual-boot configuration with my Win98 system. The one thing that I can't figure out is how to control the sound volume. Some of the applications have volume controls in them, but I can't seem to find a master control anywhere.

In particular, the startup sound when I load KDE is extremely loud compared to the volume from the Win98 startup.

Is there a master volume control anywhere?

Thanks,
Bowie

Thanks for the help. Sorry about the long response time.

I wasn't able to find anything in the GUI menus, but I did find a text-based program called 'aumix'. There is also apparently an X version called xaumix which is mentioned in the man page, but doesn't seem to exist on my system.

This may be the same program you were refering to.
