Keep in mind that behind the scenes, when running one program,
Pulseaudio actually treats the device volume as the current
application volume, and scales other applications relative to the
loudest application.
This is because in terms of amplification and quietness, the actual

Hey there. I was inspired by a recently named thread, but this is a

The new 0.9.21 just hit Fedora 12, and volume control on external USB
speakers works just fine again. I'm pretty sure this did it!

I think this may possibly fix my problem with volume control not
working on external USB speakers as well.

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.
I'm not sure what you mean by fallback device. Can you set that on
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.
I apologize, but now I'm lost. Are
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 :(
I see. So this is not an intentional functionality change.
Well, this worked automatically in F11's Sound
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.

Hello there! I finally upgraded to F12 and Pulse 0.9.19.
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.
In a way, this is
It could be that PA actually overrides what was sensed. Could you check
if selecting a different connector in g-v-c makes things work for
you?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Sorry to say I've still got F11

Output tab I
Sorry to take up your time, but if I have a headphone jack-event
related bug, is that the realm of Pulse or ALSA?
Specifically, my F11 install detects jack-in perfectly, EXCEPT at
startup; it cannot tell from power on (and possibly from
standby-resume) that I have the headphones plugged in
PA 0.9.15 does not really touch the mixer controls except for the most
basic volume control. If jack sensing is broken, than it is hence
unlikely that this is PA's fault and you should file a bug against
ALSA.
Does PA do more for speaker control in 0.9.16? Or is this a sign that

Your microphone should have the same capability under ALSA that it
does under Windows. It's the same hardware, it's just a little harder
to configure. While it's possible that it has special only make good

Hmm. I assume that when you say that ALSA gives no reference point
for 0dB on a card, this is because the cards themselves have no such

If every card had the same reference point, then ALSA could randomly

Unlike most multimedia applications that have an internal volume
meter, Rhythmbox actually communicates it's internal volume value to
Pulseaudio, and Pulse in turn uses that as Rhythmbox's per-app volume.
Problem: when Rhythmbox is the only app running, this means that any

Is this possible? I haven't used Fedora in a month or two (which I

it was only possible to move a stream between sinks, as opposed to
selecting different sinks for playback.
I'm not sure of a good use case for that one --
Pardon the lack of quoting. It makes me feel as if I'm debating
points, rather than discussing. But...
If a media player terminated its stream it will not show up. But I

A good point, but you can't expect all Linux applications to alter
their sound playback to be forward compatible with Pulse. I'm sure

There is still the case where programs that _do_ play long sound

On a side note, that appears to be how Vista's per-app sound panel
works: it doesn't detect apps, but sound streams. Once a stream is
detected, the Vista mixer leaves that app's entry on the volume panel
even when the sound stops.
It does seem to monitor when the app closes though, and then
