Sound system - where's the volume control?

I've looked all over for a volume control. Is there one and where is it?

TIA

You've looked "all over", huh?

Yes, there is one, and it's staring you in the face. Figure something out
for yourself for a change.

Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I'll guess Multimedia--->Sound for starters. But then again it depends
on what desktop manager running or not and just using command line for
control.

Look in menu Multimedia>Sound for a mixer app like aumix. These are system
volume controls. Each app may have it's on that works within the limits of
the system settings. IOW's If I set the master volume to 50% then run
Totem media player for instance. It has it's own volume control and can
adjust the volume from 0 to 100% of the 50%. Other apps may have volume
controls that actually adjust the system volume, like xine's mixer
controls. If you don't have a standalone mixer loaded, then load one or
use the mixer in one of the apps that has one built in. I don't know what
WM you are using but I'd think KDE has one built in on the desktop
somewhere. Couldn't say for sure since I never use KDE. But with any WM,
you can always select an app with a built in mixer or a standalone mixer
like aumix to control master sound.
