Last modified: 2006-02-13 07:27:38 UTC
Package: gnome-panel Severity: normal Version: 1.102.1 Synopsis: Volume Control useless Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: libpanel-applet Description: Description of Problem: The volume control applet doesn't do anything. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Add Volume Control to the panel if it does not already exist. 2. Click on the applet icon and adjust the volume meter. 3. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: The volume should change. How often does this happen? Everytime. Additional Information: If I open the gnome volume control v1.547.0 and change the ogain or pcm values the volume changes but the vol and speaker values do nothing to change my volume. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-05-21 00:25 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, mark@skynet.ie.
Has this been fixed in a later release?
No it has not. I've tried it on all 3 of my linux boxes and adjusting the volume through the applet does not in any way change the volume. Telling it to mute does not do anything at all either. I'm now using debian experimental/unstable installation of gnome2 on 2 of the boxes and garnome v0.12.2 on another box (which is a debian unstable only). I have a CS4232 sound card in the garnome v0.12.2 and one of the 2 experimental/unstable installations. I have a Sound Blaster Live in the other box (my gaming box). All systems are using OSS drivers not ALSA and are using esound
What apps are you using to test this? Is esd running as the user that is logged in? etc?
Yes esd is running on all machines and in addition to regular event sounds I tested it with xmms (esd output) and esdplay with .wav files on all 3 machines.
