Volume control

Post by Grenouille »

Hello,

The volume applet in the panel (MATE desktop) is there but does not work : if I play a YouTube video for example, I can move the cursor in the panel as much as I want, but the volume stays at the same level. I can only use the cursor on the YouTube video to set the sound level. On my keyboard (HP Pavilion dv6 laptop), there are special keys for setting the volume, and those do not work as well.
