Package: xfce4-mixer
Version: 4.8.0-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
My hardware environment is an Acer Aspire laptop, model 5253-bz849.
After performing an update recently, I noticed that the alsa
mixer controls had changed their defaults and are now
persistent in not wanting to mute pcm or internal mic boost.
For example, now I'm getting a (very loud) beep on every ACPI
event (eg. disconnect laptop from AC) and whenever I compile
a file using geany.
When I manually open the mixer (on my XFCE v4.8 taskbar notification area)
and manually select mute for those two options, the icons DO display mute;
however, upon closing the alsa_mixer and reopening the alsa_mixer, those
two icons (pcm and mic boost) show un-muted. And, in fact, when I open
geany and compile a program, geany audibly beeps upon completion of the
commpile.
This is especially annoying because it has happened in the past,
after a previous apt-get update. That first time the update to the
package had messed with the /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file, which
was the only config file mentioned in the alsactl man page. At the
time, I fiddled with /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and used (su) alsactl restore
to get the system to mute.
Fortunately, I retained a backup copy of my modifications, so when I
go really annoyed with all the noise (and it is REALLY annoying) and
the unresponsive (non-su) gui mixer control, I went looking for my
backup and restored my prior state.
So, the 'not muting' issue seems to just part of the story:
1] The updates are destructive to prior configurations, without
an update-time warning or prompt;
2] If the file /etc/asound.conf is relevant to alsactl, it should
be documented either 'man alsactl' or in the one of the config
files themselves. The current man file mentions only the file
in /var/... When I 'zgrep -r asound /usr/share/man/*', all I
get for /etc/asound.conf is a reference in man amidi.
3] A person shouldn't need administrator privileges to mute his/her
laptop speaker.
If you would like me submit separate bugs for these related issues, let me know.
