I'm confused,how can I change the sound output in LXDE? There's not even a single option anywhere unlike other environments.

I've tried doing anything with alsamixerbut still nothing, the output device is the HDMI audio of a Radeon HD card.

Edit: As it Turns out i was able to change the ouput device, but i had to use Gnome for that and its Gnome Sound applet, that is log out and log in once in Gnome change the device, log out and log back in LXDE.

Now the question becomes Why can't i do this in LXDE?

xfce4-mixer

Lubuntu shares many components with XFCE. My suggestion would be to use the XFCE4-Mixer. This still gives you a lightweight solution compatible with the lxde ethos.

enter image description here

to install

sudo apt-get install xfce4-mixer gstreamer0.10-alsa

This installs the following limited number of xfce packages -

exo-utils libgarcon-1-0 libgarcon-common libwnck-common libwnck22 libxres1

  xfce4-mixer xfce4-panel

to run

type xfce4-mixer in a lxterminal

In Options Auto-Mute Mode

It should be set as Disabled.

pavucontrol

Slightly more heavyweight - you could install pulseaudio and thus use the pulseaudio packages such as pavucontrol

enter image description here

to install

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol

This installs the following pulseaudio packages:

gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libasound2-plugins libspeexdsp1

  pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-x11 pulseaudio-utils rtkit

to run

type pavucontrol in a lxterminal
