Public bug reported:
The volume is totally unusable.
If I use it from the volume applet, it barely changes when using the
mouse wheel. If I select it and try to change, it just goes to whatever
position it wants. In the best case, iot goes up or down a little, but
always with a moment of around 100-300 milliseconds of mute in the
middle.
If I open the full volume control, with all the preferences, it's worse.
I need to enable Speaker1 to be able to control my sound card output,
and only one of the six bars control my speaker (which is ok, because I
only have two speakers, not a full sound system). The problem is that
every time I want to change the volume, they go to the position they
want, and with a half-second mute in the middle. The "lock all the bars
to have the same position" (the small chain-like icon) does not work
either: I can lock it, but then I try to change one bar (and all the
bars should also change), but sometimes it works, sometimes the chain
unlocks itself and the bars goes like crazy.
If I use the volume through the keyboard (I configured ctrl-shift-(+)
and ctrl-shift-(-) to up and down the volume), it doesn't work either:
everytime I hit one of those keys a small volume indicator appears in
the middle of the screen but goes up or down as it wants, not respecting
the key I pressed. Note that the real volume that I hear doesn't follow
the key that I press and doesn't follow the volume shown in the screen
(for example, sometimes I press the "down volume" key, and the indicator
goes up and down as it wants, and the real volume does not change...).
My system:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
My sound card: "CM6501 USB High-Performance 8CH Audio Chip"
As a final note, I want to tell that this is pretty serious: the system
is not usable for a normal user.
