Unfortunately,
steve:~/.gconf/apps$ find gnome-volume-control
find: gnome-volume-control: No such file or directory
I agree that it looks like a gconf key, but I can't find where it might
be to edit it.
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnome-volume-control
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnome-volume-control/%gconf.xml
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/gnome-volume-control
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/gnome-volume-control/%gconf.xml
/etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-volume-control.schemas
/home/steve/.gnome2/gnome-volume-control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is where I would expect it, but there's nothing under it. It's
just a file with dockbar positions. The file in /etc/ all say
init-on-start, etc. but I have nothing that mentions the actual sound
card. Everything after this is /usr/share & /usr/bin, so I'm snipping
the list.
Still feeling lost, but thanks for the help so far,
Steve
