GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 136654
Volume level selected is being ignored with volume control applet
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Using build from CVS HEAD 8th March 2004 -Add the volume control applet to the top panel -Activate the applet -Using the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard, increase and decrease the volume. Notice the volume level keeps returning to the bottom after you hit any arrow key. The volume level you select is being ignored.
Hmms i am seeing this as well, that is odd, do you use ALSA ?
I am also seeing this problem. I am using ALSA with an intel 810 sound chip. It worked fine with volume-control from a few days back.
I got an mail from Frances reporting that he doesn't think he uses alsa. I am changing Severity to critical because this really isn't suppose to happen.

After a rebuild and a relogin this problem has been solved. Marking as FIXED.
This bug is still present in build from CVS HEAD 23rd March 2004. Reopening bug.
I'm using ALSA and seeing this bug. Perhaps notable that when you go to the applet's preferences, the 'Select [audio] channel to control' list is empty. This is w/ 2.6.0 tarball
I'm testing bug 139195, please ignore me. Sorry for the spam.
I'm using gnome-2.6 from HEAD 01/04/04 and am _not_ seeing this bug. I have ALSA and i810 sound support built-in to the kernel.
I had the same problem. Now fixed upgrading alsalib and alsa-tools to last version.
Hey, I was wrong... The problem continues here... I thought it was fixed, but when I select the ALSA master volume in preferences dialog, it has again the same behaviour: the volume goes down slowly but persistently... Choosing in preferences box the main volume control from ALSA's OSS-emulated mixer fixes the problem for me, though.
I'm seeing the same issue here with version 2.6.0 of the applet. If I adjust the volume with the mouse or arrow keys, the volume steadily drops until reaching 0. This does not happen with the volume control program. My volume settings are also not restored after logging out/in, but that's probably another issue.
Volume Control applet version 2.6.0 Alsa is built into my 2.6.3 kernel. EMU10K1 sound card PCM and Master are both affected by this, if adjusting the volume using the applet in the panel.
I had the same problem (using 2.6.0 with alsa 1.0.4 with emu10k1 sound card) but the patch from #137307 fixed it.
