This is definetly a Gnome issue. As KDE has no problem at all detecting the PCM. The problem here is that with the Thinkpad T61 & some other newer laptops the sound card no longer has a hardware mixer (otherwise know as "Master"), now they only have "PCM".
KDE seems to be able to handle this fine. I confirmed this by booting up Kubuntu 7.10 live cd on my Thinkpad T61 and when I pressed the up and down volume keys, they changed the volume of "PCM". Just worked out of the box. I have been looking through the Gnome code base and I see places where if it does not detect "Master" it should fall back and try "PCM" , but this does not appear to work. -- Audio volume control keys control microphone volume instead of PCM volume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174292 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
