This is weird.  The way Smplayer is set, the volume thingy doesn't do anything.  Basically, it goes from video directly to the TV.  That said, I went and set it to like half way and I've been playing videos all night and some today, other than when I was on a roof painting.  So far, the volume has stuck to what it is set to in Smplayer, even tho the volume thingy is disabled.  I'm confused.  Why is something that is disabled in Smplayer changing Kmix???  It works so I'm not complaining. :-D I took pics of my freshly painted roof, shop not house. Now my phone won't pop up in the notifier 'do dad' when I plug it up.  I can't mount it or even get it to see it even tho I allow it to connect on the phone screen.  It worked a few weeks ago.  May have to get my hammer.  ROFL Thanks for the idea.  I would never have thought to try that.  It has been annoying me for months maybe even a year.  Dale :-)  :-)
