GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 156206
Mute problem and External Amplifier (laptop) support
Last modified: 2005-01-05 10:35:59 UTC
Reproduce: Press button assigned to the Mute keyboard shortcut. Mutes, but does not unmute- seems to set volume to zero. The change between "version 1.3, Tue Jun 15 15:39:36 2004 UTC" and "version 1.4, Thu Jul 15 22:41:06 2004 UTC" of acme-volume-alsa.c caused my laptop to start this behavior. Changing line 84 or so to back to snd_mixer_selem_set_playback_>>>switch<<<_all seems to fix things. My original intention was to look at flipping the "External Amplifier" element instead, as that turns on the muted light on my laptop. Attached is a patch that does both.

Ishikawa, could you update this patch against the current CVS?
If this gets added it sort of makes my RFE (bug 161442) moot. Clear as appropriate :)
I didn't see the other bug, so this is a dupe (with a nice patch this time ;).
*** Bug 161442 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The LED issue is being fixed in the driver, where it belongs, so you can close this bug. See: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=667
Thanks for the note Pierre. I'm closing this bug now.
