GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 730557
Sound volume does not have its own menu in the topbar
Last modified: 2014-09-20 15:37:47 UTC
Sound volume is now in the status menu instead of having its own separate menu. The page needs to give instructions to access the volume slider through the status menu instead of the sound menu.

You can completely turn off sound by dragging the slider all the way to the left.</p> <p>Some keyboards have keys that let you control the volume. They normally look like stylized speakers with waves coming out of them. They are often near the "F" keys at the top. On laptop keyboards, they are usually on the "F" keys. Hold down the <key>Fn</key> key on your keyboard to use them.</p> <p>Of course, if you have external speakers, you can also change the volume using the volume control on the speakers themselves. Some headphones have a volume control too.</p> <section id="apps"> <title>Changing the sound volume for individual applications</title> <p>You can change the volume for one application, but leave the volume for others unchanged. This is useful if you're listening to music and browsing the web, for example. You might want to turn off the volume in the web browser so sounds from websites don't interrupt the music.</p> <p>Some applications have volume controls in their main windows. If your application has one of these, use that to change the volume. Otherwise, click the sound icon on the top bar and select <gui>Sound Settings</gui>. Go to the <gui>Applications</gui> tab and change the volume of the application there.</p> <p>Only applications that are playing sounds will be listed. If an application is playing sounds but isn't listed, it might not support the feature that lets you control its volume in this way. In that case, you can't change its volume.</p> </section> </page>
Yu Qujia: Thanks for working on this! Could you turn your last comment into a patch file (which only contains your changes compared to the current version of that help file)? Please see https://wiki.gnome.org/Git/Developers#Contributing_patches for how to do that, and please ask if something is unclear with that documentation. Thanks!
line 20 add the on the top bar
Yu Qujia: Hi, did you mean to attach a patch, because we can't see it yet! :)
What we should do is change instructions to access the volume. If it's right,our change is add the on the top bar at the line 20.
Thanks for the suggestions. I reviewed the page and pushed the change to master as c1bc42fc663c68ed9840a37218a10d1a92c3784d.
