Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-19 11:51:54 UTC 
* right click on the mixer applet, mute
* left click on it, the slider is on the top
* try moving down the slider, it keeps jumping between the top and the position you want to give to it
* unpress the button, it jumps back to the top

Moving the slider when mutted should unmute and allow to use the slider normally

Looks like an alsamixer element issue. Does this fix this for you?
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-20 21:25:11 UTC 
That fixes the moving issue you can argue than moving the slider should unmute it but that's an another topic
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-02-21 13:48:30 UTC 
Something for the usability folks to ponder I suppose .... ;)
