I just looked a bit at the source and how hard to fix should depend on how nice a solution you want. If you only want to change the number of steps it should be enough to change their hardcoded line:
#define VOLUME_STEP 6 /* percents for one volume button press */ to say 2. Ideally though would be to make it configurable such that VOLUME_STEP is like before in gnome2 is externally configurable. The problem though is that the Gnome viewpoint is flawed since they have built it for embedded sound systems where the usable volume is from 0% up to 100% but if you use an external sound system then this is usually not the case but rather 20-30 % might me maximum. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871133 Title: Ubuntu Oneric Volume Step Can Not be Changed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the volume step in gconf-editor does not do anything when adjusting the volume on a hardware dial. --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110413) Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.0-0ubuntu5 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Tags: oneiric running-unity Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-08 (3 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/871133/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
