Following the recent announcement of the availability of MATE 1.8 in Debian, I went ahead and installed it on my Debian unstable install, alongside GNOME 3. Performance is great and I am seriously considering switching my old workstations to it.
Amongst the issues I encountered, one concerns the sound controls or sound applet which does nothing but move the filler bar, but do not raise or lower the sound. I have to use the controls within the sound preference app (Master and/or PCM) to get control over the sound. Meanwhile, the sound controls and applet work fine in GNOME 3. Anyone else facing this issue ? Any thoughts on a possible solution ? Ghis
