Definitely not a hardware issue, as audio had been working just fine with pulseaudio on this machine for the last 5 or 6 months.
As far as this packages relevance to audio problems, the first manifestation of the symptoms for most audio problems is the volume controls somehow getting screwed up. "It worked yesterday, the day before, and every day before that for as long as I can remember, then after yesterday's updates, the volume control keeps jumping up to 100%." One can actually see it happening. The gnome-media packages may not ultimately be at fault, but the user interacts with them the most so they are going to take the hit. If my volume control jumps around like a rabbit and ALWAYS starts out muted (how long has the volume muted bug been open? Six months? A year?), no matter what other components are involved, it is a problem with gnome-volume-control-applet. --- On Thu, 12/10/09, Josselin Mouette <j...@debian.org> wrote: > From: Josselin Mouette <j...@debian.org> > Subject: Re: Bug#556948: After recent upgrade the volume was 100% for every > song in a playlist > To: "Dominique Brazziel" <dbrazz...@snet.net>, 556...@bugs.debian.org > Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009, 2:09 PM > Le jeudi 10 décembre 2009 à 09:43 > -0500, Dominique Brazziel a écrit : > > Now, after changing the output from pulse to ALSA to > try and fix things, > > (which worked), then killing > gnome-volume-control-applet and adding it > > back to the panel, change the output back to pulse, NO > SOUND. > > > > gnome-volume-control-applet + pulse = RECURRING > NIGHTMARE. > > PulseAudio is not compatible with all sound hardware, and > this has > barely nothing to do with the frontends in gnome-media… > > -- > .''`.
