GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 553210
[oss4mixer] reports incorrect volume percent
Last modified: 2008-10-29 16:38:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: When using OSS4 (tried both stable and 4.1RC), GNOME's volume applet reports the volume of vmix0-vol (the master channel) to be something like 4769%. You can't use the mixer to set the volume to anything other than full and 0. Workarounds are to use ALSA or OSS4's mixer (ossmix & ossxmix), but it would be nice if I could use OSS4 (which works better for my soundcard than ALSA) and have my multimedia keys & gnome audio OSD work. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install OSS4 2. Set GNOME's audio to go through OSS 3. Check the volume of the master channel Actual results: volume is reported as a large percentage (>100%), and you can't use the mixer to set the volume to anything but full or 0 Expected results: you get a percentage from 0-100%, and you can set the volume to whatever you want in between Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
What's the output of $ gst-inspect-0.10 oss4mixer | grep Version ?
Robert: ping?
No reply for >3 weeks, closing as INCOMPLETE. Robert: please re-open if you can provide the information requested. For what it's worth, I think this bug is fixed in the upcoming release of gst-plugins-bad (0.10.9) Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
sorry about the lack of response, I've been using vista (yuk) for the last while you can mark the problem as resolved/fixed, works fine now due to some combination of upgrades to kernel, oss, gnome, and/or gstreamer
