GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 565196
RFE: Support for testing sound devices
Last modified: 2010-05-18 08:25:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: When selecting sound devices for output (ring device, output device) there is no way to test whether the selected device actually works. Such a function ("Play a test sound") are common in other sip phones e. g. Skype or Wengophone. The lack of testing creates a hard situation when configuring, since the "no sound" error could be either a problem with the device, the attached hw or with the network. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select Edit | Preferences | Audio | Devices 2. Change the Output device 3. Change the Ringing Device Actual results: The sound possibly works, or not; I have no way to know. Expected results: Buttons labeled "Play test sound" for the Output Device and the Ringing Device, with the obvious function. Does this happen every time? Yep. Other information:
