<title>Mixer</title>

<para>This module can be used to configure some of the more basic options of
<application>kmix</application> (the KDE Mixer).</para>

<para>The first section, relates to default volumes.  With this section, you can
save the current volume levels as the default.  You can also load the default
volume levels (thereby restoring them to the default status).</para>

<para>By selecting the "<guilabel>Load volumes on login</guilabel>", you can
instruct KDE to automatically load the default volume levels whenever KDE is
started.</para>

<para>The next section, lets you specify what hardware
<application>kmix</application> should look for.</para>

<para>The slider labeled "<guilabel>Maximum number of probed mixers</guilabel>"
determines when <application>kmix</application> stops looking for soundcards.
If you have one soundcard in your computer, you should set this to one.  Using a
higher number, means <application>kmix</application> will continue to search for
a second sound card, which will delay the startup of
<application>kmix</application>.</para>

<para>The slider labeled "<guilabel>Maximum number of probed devices per
soundcard</guilabel>" determins how many devices <application>kmix</application>
tries to detect on each soundcard.  If there are more devices on your soundcard
than <application>kmix</application> shows on startup, you should increase this
number.</para>
