[Desktop-packages] [Bug 871133] Re: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops
Still not fixed in 16.04. I just upgraded from Debian wheezy where one nudge of the scroll wheel changed the alsamixer control by a consistent 5dB. This was bad already, because 5dB is too coarse. It feels like a compromise between those who want to use the scroll wheel for fine volume adjustments (which would require a step no larger than 2dB) and those who want to use it as a mute button (see Bug #551725). Unfortunately this compromise benefits nobody, because it falls in between the only two sensible use cases. The slider behavior in Xenial is worse. The amplitude follows what appears to be a quadratic function. This feels like someone lacking proper knowledge about audio had a go at fixing the previous volume slider that, being a bad compromise, didn't work for anyone. Step size varies depending on the slider position. I use sensitive earphones that are already quite loud with the slider near the leftmost position, where step sizes are about 8dB, which is awful. Anyone touching code that involves audio, should perhaps first read my rant about software volume controls: http://www.dr-lex.be/info-stuff/volumecontrols.html The position of the slider should map linearly to dB values, or in other words the volume multiplication factor must be an exponential function of slider position. It _will_ be unavoidable that for some users the slider will either have a ‘dead zone’ or a ‘too loud’ zone, because the maximum loudness of connected loudspeakers or headphones can vary wildly. Any interface that changes the volume by discrete increments like volume keys or the scroll wheel, must use fixed dB steps, in other words a fixed multiplication factor for linear amplitude. A good size for this step is 2 dB. To cater for those who only want to use the volume keys or scroll wheel to quickly make huge volume adjustments, the step size should indeed be configurable as this bug suggests. A drop-down menu with values of 1dB, 2dB, 3dB, and 6dB would be sufficient. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871133 Title: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops Status in gnome-settings-daemon: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the volume step in gconf-editor does not do anything when adjusting the volume on a hardware dial. --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110413) Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.0-0ubuntu5 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Tags: oneiric running-unity Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-08 (3 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/871133/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 871133] Re: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops
"...just attached the patch done by Nathan Osman" I didn't create the patch either, though I did need to tweak it a bit to fix some compilation errors. "First I see reports (mostly in the upstream report) that people are getting 10-30% steps in volume instead of the defined 6%." I know this isn't going to carry a lot of weight but I've been running the modified package on my desktop for a couple weeks now and it has worked flawlessly. Volume always changes by the percentage I choose. One important question worth answering is whether the users observing the 10-30% jump modified the value from its default. If users leave the setting at its default value, is behavior any different? If not, then the issue only affects those who change the setting - users who are likely willing to accept the issues anyway. "Second using a linear scale for a volume slider is really not ideal, pulse audio uses a cubic scale to define volume, but from a quick glance at the source code it may be that g-s-d is plugging linear values into these structures." The patch doesn't change the expression used for calculating norm_vol_step. It merely replaces VOLUME_STEP with the value from the new setting. I've linked my branch containing the patch and uploaded a Xenial build of gnome-settings-daemon to the PPA mentioned in my earlier message with the same patch. If the patch is accepted and merged, I will do the same thing for unity-settings-daemon - but I don't want to take the time to do that now if there isn't any chance of this getting accepted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871133 Title: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops Status in gnome-settings-daemon: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the volume step in gconf-editor does not do anything when adjusting the volume on a hardware dial. --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110413) Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.0-0ubuntu5 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Tags: oneiric running-unity Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-08 (3 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/871133/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 871133] Re: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops
HEXcube, thanks for taking the time to attaching the patch, however for a fix to be backported into the stable releases it must land in the current development release (Xenial) first. However that said, I mostly agree with upstream here and would not want to see it incorporated into ubuntu except as a last resort, it really is just a hidden magic button that glosses over potentially real bugs. First I see reports (mostly in the upstream report) that people are getting 10-30% steps in volume instead of the defined 6%. That is clearly a bug, and should be fixed first since it is really unclear how much that is contributing to the reported issues. Second using a linear scale for a volume slider is really not ideal, pulse audio uses a cubic scale to define volume, but from a quick glance at the source code it may be that g-s-d is plugging linear values into these structures. IF that is indeed true, then it is also going to mess up the actual steps, of the actual audio volume. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871133 Title: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops Status in gnome-settings-daemon: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the volume step in gconf-editor does not do anything when adjusting the volume on a hardware dial. --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110413) Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.0-0ubuntu5 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Tags: oneiric running-unity Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-08 (3 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/871133/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
