Mind if I ask how you got that impression? I know that I only represent a single data point, but from my point of view it would be highly preferable not to have the AC97 mixer tweaked when I hit the volume control (although the OSD is nice - perhaps when the new ALSA mixer is in place...).[1] As for not filing a bug about it, this behavior only appeared on my machines after the discussions on this list about not sending volume key events to avoid brokenness. Therefore, I assumed that it was a transient problem that was not worth reporting. If you would like, I could report it somewhere so that you can add a tally to the "don't touch the mixer" count. -- Cheers, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin | http://kevinlocke.name | kevinoid on freenode 1. In case you are wondering why I care, the beep on my Thinkpad is ridiculously loud in my headphones. So whenever I need to adjust the volume down and put on some headphones it would be nice not to have to open the mixer and push the master volume back up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
