Kmix GUI missing in FC1

Have FC2 on a machine with Audigy soundcard, and Kmix is present in the audio menu and works ok. The other machine has an Ensoniq card (ES1371) and FC1 OS. The sound works ok but Kmix is missing off the menu and I have no control over the volume, etc. Internet radio volume can be controlled from the BBC Radio Player but is limited. I also have an instance of FC1 on the machine with the Audigy card, and Kmix is missing off the menu there as well, but again the sounds work but with no way to control the volume. In the KDE control centre, Mixer just brings up a screen associated with Arts. The one with save current volumes, load volumes and a couple of sliders. I'm not sure what this does, but the same screen is there in FC2 and I also have the GUI for Kmix in the audio menu. Anyone know why the GUI for Kmix is missing in Fedora Core 1, But present in Fedora Core 2. Mekon.

You could check if the kmix executable is installed, just try to run "kmix" from a terminal or ALT-F2 commandline

If it is missing it might be a packaging problem in FC1, maybe the Fedora Bugtracking system has an entry about it.

Kmix GUI missing in FC1

Thanks. anda_skoa. Tried that but nothing. It seems even though Kmultimedia is installed there is a problem with Kmix. Any idea on what I might try to get Kmix installed and running. I downloaded Kmultimedia thinking Kmix might be installable from it ,but it is split up into so many different bits, its almost impossible. Perhaps theres another sound mixer I could DL and install to solve the problem if you know of one. Mekon

you could download and compile the kmix alternative, kamix from kde-apps.org

Kmix GUI missing in FC1

thanks seb for the link. I DLd the tar.bz2 and there was an i386.rpm there as well which I DLd. Tried to run the .rpm install thro the package manager in FC1 but told me there were a lot of missing dependencies, They are listed as being tied to Kamix, but could this be the reason why Kmix has'nt installed itself properly, as these dependencies are needed for Kmix as well.
Dependencies listed:
libasound.so.2
libaudio.so.2
libexpat.so.1
libidn.so.11
libjack-0.80.0.so.0
libkwalletclient.so.1
libmad.so.0

I presume these are going to be necessary for the .tar.bz2 install as well. I'll have to go back to sourceforge and see if I can find em, or have a look on the original FC1 disks to see if they are there. Mekon.
