Linux Help- Volume Control Malfunctioning

I just installed Mandriva- and it was fine until the installation was complete.

There is the Volume box that pop-ups when you are changing volume- stuck in the middle of my screen. I think this is because it is constantly decreasing.

How do I fix this? Mostly I want the big Volume box out of my view- but I would also like to have volume. - Any suggestions?

I’m a totally new- so I’ve played with some things. I tried to kill Kmix- but it would re-start immediately after. (and the volume box never went way) I tried to have no sound programs on the auto-start, but it didn’t change anything (I wasn’t familiar with most of those programs, so I might have missed one) I tried checking for jammed keys. (The shortcut on my keyboard is Fn-Page down and neither, let alone both, were jammed) I tried to erase all the short-cuts, and that also didn’t help. (actually- my shortcuts still worked, so perhaps I did that wrong)

I’m out of ideas that are obvious to me. (I’m probably missing it because I’m in windows mode still)
