*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 39098 *** Martin: Okay, I think what you're highlighting is this:
Mute => hardware mute-set regardless VolumeDown/VolumeUp => Unmute and this is [almost] the same as 'gnome-settings-daemon', which takes the first movement (Up or Down) after a mute as also meaning Unmute; however it differs in that a Mute event while muted makes 'g-s-d' Unmute aswell. So; if the hardware mute is already active, then the VolumeUp is sent, immediately followed by Mute in order to maintain the status-quo, keep the software-mixer matching the hardware mixer and cause the status dialogue (the volume bar) to be shown. In the case above, it does not matter whether up or down is sent, as the first up or down after a mute causes Unmute, both in GNOME and in the hardware mixer. -- ibm-acpi volume control unpredictable https://launchpad.net/bugs/42886 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
