 + 
 +The Xfce panel plugin presents itself with a nice speaker icon. Clicking onto the icon, the volume can be changed: 
 + 
 +<figure "xfce4-mixer Speaker Icon"> 
 +{{:apps:xfce4-mixer:volume.png|xfce4-mixer Speaker Icon}} 
 +</figure> 
 + 
 +There's also the well-known context menu, providing muting functionality, running the mixer application or opening the properties dialog: 
 + 
 +<figure "xfce4-mixer Context Menu"> 
 +{{:apps:xfce4-mixer:menu.png|xfce4-mixer Context Menu Window}} 
 +</figure> 
 + 
 +For the plugin and volume settings to work, you have to have the correct sound card and channel selected in the plugin's properties dialog: 
 + 
 +<figure "xfce4-mixer Sound Card and Channel Dialog"> 
 +{{:apps:xfce4-mixer:settings.png |xfce4-mixer Sound Card and Channel Dialog Window}} 
 +</figure> 
 + 
 +In addition, it provides a simple-to-use mixer application. Of course, everything is fully translated into many different languages: 
 + 
 +<figure "xfce4-mixer Application"> 
 +{{:apps:xfce4-mixer:alsa.png?600|xfce4-mixer Application Window}}  
 +</figure> 
 + 
 +The mixer works smoothly not only with the well-known ALSA setup, but also with PulseAudio:

 +<figure "xfce4-mixer using PulseAudio"> 
 +{{:apps:xfce4-mixer:mixer.png?600|xfce4-mixer using PulseAudio}}
