# Chapter 2. Working with KMix

KMix usage is straightforward. Every mixer device that your soundcard provides is represented by a volume slider. Mono devices have a single slider, stereo devices can have either one or two sliders, depending on your choice. Additionaly there is a panning slider at the bottom of the KMix window. If you have multiple soundcards, they will each have their own tab.
