<para>This module can be used to configure some of the more basic
options of &kmix; (the &kde; Mixer).</para>

<para>The first section, relates to default volumes.  With this section,
you can save the current volume levels as the default.  You can also
load the default volume levels (thereby restoring them to the default
status).</para>

<para>By selecting the <guilabel>Load volumes on login</guilabel>, you
can instruct &kde; to automatically load the default volume levels
whenever &kde; is started.</para>

<para>The next section, lets you specify what hardware &kmix; should
look for.</para>

<para>The slider labeled <guilabel>Maximum number of probed
mixers</guilabel> determines when &kmix; stops looking for soundcards.
If you have one soundcard in your computer, you should set this to
one.  Using a higher number, means &kmix; will continue to search for
a second sound card, which will delay the startup of &kmix;.</para>

<para>The slider labeled <guilabel>Maximum number of probed devices
per mixer</guilabel> determines how many devices &kmix; tries to detect
on each soundcard.  If there are more devices on your soundcard than
&kmix; shows on startup, you should increase this number.</para>
