I think this is a case of misleading UI layout. The horizontal slider in the top-right corner isn't a volume control but a position-in-track control. Start something playing and you can use it to jump around the track. If instead you click on the speaker icon at the right-hand end you get a vertical volume control that seems to work normally.
Am I understanding this right? If so, it's really a design issue. Perhaps the horizontal slider should be inactive or invisible unless something is playing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070701 Title: Volume slider set to minimum each time Rhythmbox starts, no matter what it was at before closing Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Triaged Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When you first start Rhythmbox, you will see the volume slider set to minimum. Move the slider to the right some distance then close and reopen the app. The slider will be back at zero. What should happen is the slider is set to half way on first startup, and then remembers its previous setting at each subsequent startup.
