Volume Control Icon

[aix0]

This is probably a really noob'ish question and a little petty, but, my volume control icon isn't held in the notification area, it's just displayed as a panel object. Any ideas how I can get it to show in the notification area?

I'm running Arch - Gnome btw.

I don't use gnome - but if you have the kde packages installed (probably just kde-base), you can use kmix - which stays in the notification area. I'm not suggesting that you install kde-base just for kmix, of course!!

There are some other volume controls such as gamix, however, I only use kmix and alsa-mixer.
