Volume Icon Missing from Tray - Not listed in Sys Tray Configuration

[Xplorer4x4]

Normally by the clock in the system tray is a speaker icon for volume control. It's not there..I right click and look through the options for system tray configuration and it's not listed.

First make sure Kmix is installed.
When right clicking for System Tray Settings have you checked the Entries, at the bottom you should find Volume Control.

kmix is installed, and like I said, Entries and Display have nothing volume related at all.

Actually, that gave me an idea, I ran kmix from cli and there it is!

Can any one suggest a good Qt based system wide Equalizer?

Have you tried veromix? I think it should be in the repos. There's numerous effects but no Equalizer. I think there used to be though, not sure if I've overlooked some setting.

I used to use veromix, for some reason, but for some reason, that I also forgot, I removed it. I may give it another shot, but I don't recall an EQ in there.

The equalizer is still there... it's one of the many LADSPA effects that you can add to an audio sink. Open Veromix, click the triangle next to an sink, choose Add effect | Effect | Multiband EQ. The EQ slider will appear under the audio sink you chose, and the individual EQ frequency adjusters will appear at the bottom. In the illustration below, I've added the EQ to "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo." Note the slight indentation of the "Multiband EQ" with the little circuit board underneath the assigned audio sink.

Sink? Anyways I installed the plasmaoid..can't find an EQ and I have dug through the program extensively.I tried the GTK version, and it just sits there showing a loading icon in the task manager but never launches.

An audio source is a device that generates a stream or a signal, like a microphone. An audio sink is a device that receives a stream or signal, like a sound card output.

Veromix multiband EQ, step by step.

1. Left-click Veromix plasmoid icon in system tray, select desired sink...



2. Select Add Effect from menu...



3. Select Effect from menu...



4. Select Multiband EQ from very large menu of available effects...



5. Observe the effect align itself with the chosen sink...

When I click the tray icon, I essentially get a now playing type control for amarok with pause, previous track and forward track.If I click the sink(if you had said arrow I would have realize exactly what you meant), I get a progress indicator. Thinking back now, I used Veromix because my volume was to quiet under normal conditions. Even then, I never saw anything like that you pictured. Even back on my first Precise install it acted exactly the way I described.
