Description Spencer McGuire 2006-06-23 15:01:36 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #342228 +++

Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/45345

As seen in https://launchpad.net/bugs/45167, on newer AC'97 codec cards, the Master channel is no longer called Master, but rather "Front". This confuses the GNOME mixer applet into believing that there is no master channel, and it incorrectly begins mixing the PCM channel. This cannot mute, nor turn down sound completely, and thus is the wrong behavior.

It looks like the ALSA drivers will continue using the 'Front' nomenclature... that's not going to change. So, the mixer applets must change instead. The GNOME mixer should recognize Front to be synonymous with Master

There wasn't really a reason for cloning this bug, was there? 

If you just want to know when something changes with the bug, add yourself into the CC field.
