Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xfce4-mixer
Soundcard : m-audio Revolution 5.1 (Envy24HT) Distribution:xubuntu feisty. xfce4-mixer resets the "H/W" setting from "PCM out" to "H/W in 1" every ~15 seconds The xfce4-mixer is out of sync with alsamixer. Alsamixer shows the actual state of "H/W" while xfce4-mixer keeps resetting to "H/W in 1" , but xfce4-mixer does not reflect that change in the gui and says it's still "PCM out". Actions on my pc: Start playing a music file. -no sound on left channel start alsa-mixer: change "H/W" to PCM-out. sound on left channel (for 15 seconds), gets reset to "H/W in 1" -repeat the steps above as many times as you like. kill xfce4-mixer -problem solved. start xfce4-mixer from terminal -15 seconds later : no sound on left chan. -alsamixer displays "H/W" is "HW in 1" -xfce4-mixer displays "H/W" is "PCM out" set "H/W" on xfce4-mixer to something else and set it back to "PCM out" -no result close xfce4-mixer gui start xfce4-mixer from term -xfce4-mixer still displays "H/W" is "PCM out" -alsamixer still displays "H/W" is "HW in 1" kill all xfce4-mixer processes, set H/W back using alsa mixer -problem solved --- Possibly totally unrelated , but there are more problems with the left channel on this card. But that is fixed by changing the volume once. And it's not recurring every xx seconds like my problem. http://www.google.nl/search?&q=m-audio+revolution+%22left+channel%22+muted+alsa&btnG=hi --- registered this bug on xfce-bugzilla : http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3503 ** Affects: xfce4-mixer Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: xfce4-mixer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #3503 http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3503 ** Also affects: xfce4-mixer via http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3503 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- xfce4-mixer mutes left channel (m-audio revolution) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
