GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 761313
When dragging sound to "On", switch becomes "On", but slider goes back to 0% and has to be set again
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:28:52 UTC
I have recently noticed that in the gnome-control-center in the Sound section that if I have something muted so that the switch next to the slider is set to "Off", and then also the slider set to 0%, that if I then drag the slider to a state where it would be "On" rather than muted, the switch becomes "On", but then the slider no matter where I drag it to returns to the beginning where it is 0% and then I have to drag it again in order to set it, so it seems that switching the switch to "On" results in it going to 0% in certain circumstances. Also please note that at no point in this process, not even when I turn the sound off do I touch the switch, only the slider. I initially only reported this issue here on LaunchPad but they said that I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1539530 --- OS Information: No LSB modules are available.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1272952 has a better explanation, though it happens with every such slider: " Description of problem: When you set the Input Volume of the Microphone via Mouse to 0 and than rais it again, the volume jumps back to 0 and only reacts on the second setting Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-3.14.4-9.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: every time you try to set the Input Volume on the Mic from 0 to >0 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gnome Settings 2. switch to the Sound Module 3. click on Input 4. move the Input Volume slider to 0 (Switch at the end of the slider turns to "Off") 5. move the Input Volume slider to anything different than 0 Actual results: Switch at the end of the slider turns to "On" but slider jumps back to 0 Expected results: Slider should stay where it was set via mouse "
I still get this issue on Arch Linux with GNOME 3.24.2.
And on GNOME 3.28.3
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
