Muting makes the sliders out of sync
Last modified: 2010-02-03 11:52:48 UTC
Created attachment 146496 [details] bug demonstration video In gnome-panel applet, moving the slider to bottom mutes the sound, moving it up unmutes the sound. In gnome-volume-control moving the slider to left mutes the sound, moving it right does *not* unmute the sound. When sound is mutes, slider in gnome-panel applet and slider in g-v-c are out of sync. Moving slider in applet syncs the sliders again, but only after mouse release. Moving slider in g-v-c does not sync the sliders at all. Please see attached screencast. gnome-media-2.28.1-3.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 Fedora 12 Rawhide
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 599663 ***
I don't this it is a duplicate. This report is about two things: 1. applet slider is behaving differently then g-v-c dialog slider when trying to unmute sound -- that is a duplicate, correct 2. the sliders fall out of sync when mute is enabled -- that is an unresolved issue It is really weird when you see one volume slider having being at 50% and second being at 0%, and they should have been the same sliders (output volume). Also usually the volume is changed while (during) dragging the applet slider. When the sound is muted through g-v-c, the applet slider does nothing until mouse release (which can cause a sudden burst of loud sound). Is that really intentional? I doubt that. On top of that, all two issues were not present in gnome-media 2.27.91, it's a regression. Unfortunately I don't know how this issue can be solved if you insist on notabug for the first one (which I don't see as a good solution, I will comment to that original report on that).

One shows a mute checkbox, and not the other one. The applet also has the problem that it's space-constrained. > Also usually the volume is changed while (during) dragging the applet slider. > When the sound is muted through g-v-c, the applet slider does nothing until > mouse release (which can cause a sudden burst of loud sound).

It is intentional, although I'll be changing that as part of bug 602203. > On top of that, all two issues were not present in gnome-media 2.27.91, it's a > regression. > > Unfortunately I don't know how this issue can be solved if you insist on > notabug for the first one (which I don't see as a good solution, I will comment > to that original report on that). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 599663 ***
