Volume off every time entering X (was: No volume in my Etch box!)
Rodolfo Medina [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On my laptop I installed x-window-system-core and gnome-core and the volume control small icon top right on Gnome desktop looks all right. Instead, on my desktop PC the same icon is not active, and when I left-click it the following message appears: - The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting Remove From Panel from the menu. - . Do you think that the sound card is not recognized by Etch? I hope not. Does anyone please have any suggestion? I don't know what to do. It seems the problem was due to the fact that the user did not belong to the `audio' group. So, it should be enough to do: # adduser user audio , then log out and in again. It seems that that small icon top right in gnome panel will let me angry. Now on my desktop PC it's fine, but on my laptop that damned icon shows the `mute' state every time I log in the X again. It must be something with Gnome settings, but I don't know how to fix it. Any hint from anyone? Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The problem disappeared since I installed the gnome-media package. But on my laptop this package is not installed and the problem does not exist. One more strange thing is that even with this problem, without installing gnome-media, the volume is heared fine! But you can't control it, of course.

If not, check whether the gnome-media package is installed (I expect it should have been sucked in with the whole Gnome conglomerate). If it isn't, either install ork reinstall it (apt-get install --reinstall gnome-media). If so, there may be a problem with the PATH setting, or some other part of the how-to-find-an-executable process. I can't help you there, but ry reinstalling gnome-media on GP.
