Hi everybody

I've installed Gentoo (x86_64) on my new box with integrated VIA VT1708S audio. I have sound but I can't find Sound Preferences tool in gnome.
System --> Preferences --> no Sound :?: :?: :?:

Thanks

Hi,

My Gnome version 2.26.3

Here http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/ is another Sound Preferences Tool then Volume Control. Did I miss something during installation of Gnome?

Thanks,

I don't use gnome really but i read this on that link
Quote:

The Sound Preferences tool integrates the choice of sound devices, application volumes, alert volume and alert theme in one place.

For those without PulseAudio, the old (GStreamer) mixer will still be available and has even been augmented with a sound theme tab to match the new interface.

Are you using pulseaudio or gstreamer? (not sure if they are really saying only pulseaudio gets the tool, just how i interpreted it)

Thank you Guys

I think it's pulseaudio issue. I am not using pulseaudio.

Code:
emerge -av gnome-media

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.26.0-r1  USE="ipv6 sound -debug -esd -gnomecd -pulseaudio" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
