Some drivers may implement a mute intentionally, but I agree it seems likely to be pulseaudio. You can test this by moving the control with alsamixer or amixer. If the mute changes state, it is the driver doing it. If the mute only changes state with pulseaudio driving it, then it is pulseaudio doing it. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
