Re: [gentoo-user] GNOME Volume Hotkeys (or how to set what my master volume control actually increases/decreases...)

 I don't have a solution for you unfortunately.
 
 I've been living with it like an on/off switch. Sometimes it works,
 sometimes not. (This is on a D600 laptop)

Yeah, well, mute works.

I noticed a key in gconf. It's something like
/apps/panel/profiles/default/applet.4/preferences/channel (or
something to that effect, I have no idea what it actually is -- it's
the applet's preferences area under the panel settings thing). Any
clues as to what kind of values it takes? It defaults to 0, so I tried
1 (which would point to PCM on the OSS and ALSA mixer). No dice
(doesn't make PCM go up or down, but doesn't make the master work
either).

I had a play around, and it looks like its the settings for the volume
control applet on the gnome panel.  Right click on this applet to bring
up preferences, then you can select which chanel the applet controls.
(You'll notice the value in gconf-editor changing as well).

I use this applet to control my volume, because I can't get the keys
working properly - its second best though as I have to move the mouse to
the applet, etc.

HTH,

If not mistaken, acme has been taken out and made to be integrated into

 any more hints?

nevertheless, the original problem of changing a mixer other than the
master with multimedia keys is still unsolved...

 that has an effect on the master mixer is mute/unmute. Volume has
 absolutely no effect. PCM doesn't either. It seems the only one that
 has any effect as far as sound output goes is one called VIA DXS.
 Moving that slider makes the volume go up and down.

 emerge acme

$ emerge acme
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy acme.

I did try to emerge acme once, when it was still in portage (apparently
its not there anymore) but it wouldn't install properly - I saw
somewhere that it was already integrated into gnome.  They appear to
have integrated all of it except the part that lets you control a level
other than the master volume level.

any more hints?
