gnome-media package

System setting

Asked by tahsin

I installed UBUNTU 11.04 just 2 days ago.
I want to set the sound preference.
From Help menu of UBUNTU it refers to go to the sound menu through the System setting menu.
I follow it but there is no any menu about sound in System setting .
But I have to manage the sound preference as I did in UBUNTU 10.10 .
How can I solve it ?

Hi,

Normally you should be able to find under System > Preferences > Sound

Try this = > Launch Run by pressing Alt + F2 then enter this command "gnome-volume-control"

Hope this helps.

There should be a speaker symbol on the panel, by left click it's supposed to offer 'sound settings'.
Or open a terminal: ctrl+alt+t
Type:
gnome-volume-control
## Hit [Enter]

In case you mean sound properties, run in a terminal:
gstreamer-properties

## Note, when closing the terminal application closes too.
## Better is to run it with Alt+f2

Which session are you logged in, Ubuntu (Unity), Ubuntu-classic (Gnome)?

Option.
Install gnome-alsamixer.
After installation it's
in Gnome: applications -> sound and video
in Unity: [super+a] opens the dash, start typing gnome-alsa and it should display the application, hit [Enter] or click on the icon.

The program 'gnome-volume-control' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

Then typing
