Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] volume-independence on secondary output devices
'Twas brillig, and Jud Craft at 08/11/09 03:09 did gyre and gimble: It appears that when I plug in a secondary output device (like my docking station's USB-type sound card) and reroute Pulse to it, I can no longer use the main volume control in GNOME to change the volume of sound output. The main volume control (e.g. the applet in the system tray or the buttons on your keyboard/laptop) will control whatever device is marked as default or fallback. If you tweak this, it will work with the appropriate device.

If you tweak this, it will work with the appropriate device. I'm not sure what you mean by fallback device. Can you set that on the Output tab in gnome-sound-properties? All I know is, changing my Output device from Internal Audio to USB Audio means volume control has no effect anymore.

Under 'Output Devices', each output has three icons on the top right of its 'box'. The first from the left is the mute icon, the second is the lock icon (looks like a shield) the third which is a green circle with a white tick is the 'set as fallback' icon. ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss

You need to look for something called (I think) Pulseaudio Volume Control. To check if you have it, open a terminal and try and run `pavucontrol`. If you don't have it, your distro probably has it in the repos somewhere, install it. That's the Right Way (tm) to adjust pulseaudio volumes, streams, and the like. ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss

Gnome Volume Control, which Jud is using, *is* the official Gnome way to interact with PulseAudio these days. pavucontrol is still the tool we use upstream a lot and where new features get implemented first for testing etc., but the official Gnome UI should be used and workable too. As per your first reply Jud, the setting of the default device in g-v-c should work fine and allow the volume buttons to adjust the appropriate device, so dunno why that's not working :( Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/] ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss

So this is not an intentional functionality change. Well, this worked automatically in F11's Sound Properties, but no longer in F12's Pulse 0.9.19. Should I file a bug ticket? ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] volume-independence on secondary output devices
This also causes problems with flat volumes too -- my flat volumes don't seem to be applied (ex., to Rhythmbox) when using the external USB output. ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
