At first I was following a how-to of someone with a similar notebook - http://www.caiacoa.de/wiki/index.php/Samsung_R40-T2050_Chasubi
The difference is, that I have a R40-T2050-Devron and lspci reports a different sound hardware: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Azalia It is working out of the box with Feisty 7.04, but the volume was tuned extremely low, so I first did not realize there was a very faint whisper. KMilo could mute it correctly. But the percentage would only switch between 0 and 10%. Then I played around with KMix and turned up every knob I could get hold of. Then I suddenly had all the sound I wanted. This time KMilo was jumping from 100 to 90% or from 87 to 67 ... But I cannot remember if it really changed the volume ... at least it did not alter the front channel in KMix. I assigned the very same buttons to KMix which had no effect at first. Then I uninstalled KMilo, because it in addition would not show changes in brightness too. Even though the package was gone, my machine still showed KMilos OSD ... so I did a soft reboot. Afterward the special keys did not work at all. But this morning (after switching the notebook completely off and on again) it works great. There is just no OSD. It is only strange, that KMix cannot mute the headphones. Even on 0% I still hear it playing without straining my ears. But then I just pull the plug. -- Kmilo doesn't properly adjust volume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127082 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
