Solaris Common Desktop Environment: User's Guide

Controlling the Master and Application Output

The Playback tab lets you control individual process audio output parameters. You can access it by selecting the Application Controls option from the View menu when the Playback tab is active. The new controls provided are exactly the same as those provided for the Master Output, with the exception that they are provided for one process at a time, rather than for an entire output device. Processes that are currently using audio are displayed in the list box at the top of the panel. By selecting a process, you can individually control the volume, balance, and muting of that process. If you have multiple audio channels, you can customize the individual volume and balance of each channel.
