Problems with recording.

[Graeme Wolfendale]

Hi Ray,

This probably isn't XFCE related. The sound handling isn't that good
on linux, I have a problem with gnome and XFCE where I can't play
sound from two different windows at once.

As for your problem, have you tried

sudo apt-get install gnome-volume-control

Then go back and try to open the volume control again.

Hope this helps..

Kind regards,

Graeme
