Update : if the 'device and track to control' in the applet preferences is set to PCM the mute button works as expected. If the device is still set to Master the muting does not work. I suppose this bug could either be changed to "wrong device selected for control on macbook", or it could try to set the PCM as the correct device instead..
In any event, the muting whether with hardware keys or the mixer only work as expected if PCM is the device selected to control. -- [tribe 5] "mute" hardware key on macbook shows muted visual but does not mute audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139664 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
