Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
On a Thinkpad T500, there are 3 buttons to control the sound volume. One
mute/unmute button, one to raise the volume and one to lower it.
When using Ubuntu Jaunty alpha 4, the sound configuration was correctly
reported by the Gnome volume applet. When I pressed the mute button, the
sound was muted. When I pressed it again, the sound was on again at the
same volume. When I increased the volume, it was putting the volume on
and increasing it. etc.
Since then, there have been several updates, and I cannot tell which one broke
this behaviour.
What I can tell is that the Gnome volume applet is perfectly working, every
interactions I do with it as the correct "output" (mute/unmute, raise/lower the
sound). So I suspect HAL to be the origin of my problem because with the latest
Ubuntu Jaunty (as of 25th of March) the keyboard buttons do not work as
expected.
So here is the current behaviour.
- Initial state: sound is ON, volume around 70%
- Pressing the mute button: sound is OFF but Gnome volume applet does not
reflect that. This is the expected behaviour, but the neither the Notification
nor Gnome vol applet reflect the change.
- Pressing the mute button again: sound remain OFF, Gnome volume applet is
still showing the same state as before. No notification.
- Pressing the raise vol button: sound becomes ON and volume about 10%. Gnome
volume applet reflect correctly this state. The notification is displayed
showing the volume level. However, the expected behaviour would have been sound
ON and volume at 70% or 80%.
- Pressing the lower vol button: sound becomes OFF and volume 0%. Gnome volume
applet reflect correctly this and the notification also.
- Pressing the mute button: sound remains OFF, no display of notification no
change in Gnome vol. applet.
Using Gnome vol applet to unmute the sound and put the sound volume to 70%:
correct behaviour/output.
- Pressing the mute button: sound is OFF, but Gnome volume applet does not
reflect that. This is the expected behaviour, but the neither the Notification
nor Gnome vol applet reflect the change.
- Pressing the lower volume button: sound remain OFF. Gnome volume applet can
show that the sound is lower but not that it is off. The notification shows
that the sound is off but that the volume is 60% (see attached screenshot)
- Pressing the raise volume button: sound is ON. Gnome volume applet shows
correct information so does the notification too.
I say it again, but this was working properly with Jaunty alpha 4...
there has been a regression at some points.
