It looks like the /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/volume_step setting is now (in Oneiric Ocelot 11.10) ignored by whatever the new volume control thing is in the GNOME 3 Shell, so both the keyboard multimedia keys and the mouse wheel have larger step sizes than what I'd like to see.
It would actually be nice to have volume control behave on something like a gamma curve for a monitor's brightness -- I have one system at work where the volume goes from inaudible to quite loud in just a few steps, but increasing volume from 20 or 30% up to 100% barely has any effect. But I'm very close to ditching both GNOME 3 or Unity and going for XFCE or something. This is one of dozens of annoyances that have piled up. I'm pretty disappointed that things have gotten to this state, as I've used GNOME since something like version 0.13. Applets and other bits of the desktop environment seem to get rewritten every few years for no good reason, and there's always a degradation in functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553073 Title: Make step size of mouse wheel volume control configurable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/553073/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
