Package: xfce4-volumed Version: 0.1.13-3 Followup-For: Bug #654633 Hi.
I also experienced this while using Openbox and I found the solution in the Ubuntu bug #883485 [1], comment #3 [2]. 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed/+bug/883485 2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed/+bug/883485/comments/3 But while for the comment #3, the issue was fixed by setting the active-card property to PlaybackInternalAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer, in my case I had to install the xfce4-mixer package, start the xfce4-mixer application and set the soundcard to "Playback: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer)". After I made this operation, a new soundcard appeard in "xfconf-query -c xfce4-mixer -l": /sound-cards/PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer. So I set the active-card to "PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer" with: xfconf-query -c xfce4-mixer -p /active-card -s PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer and the xfce4-volumed started muting/unmuting correctly. I think this behaviour is due to the fact that the active soundcard is not set if the xfce4-mixer is not started and I presume this doesn't happen in xfce, where xfce-session is working and starting all the applications and setting the right properties in xfconf. That would be a reason why this bug is overlooked. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-volumed depends on: ii gstreamer0.10-alsa [gstreamer0.10-audiosink] 0.10.36-1.1 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [gstreamer0.10-audiosink] 0.10.23-7.1 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good [gstreamer0.10-audiosink 0.10.31-3+nmu1 ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio [gstreamer0.10-audiosink] 0.10.31-3+nmu1 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.36-1.1 ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.36-1.1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libkeybinder0 0.2.2-4 ii libnotify4 0.7.5-1 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.8.1-1 xfce4-volumed recommends no packages. xfce4-volumed suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
