My music player (iPod) doesn't have mute. It has a volume slider, and that's it. The only way to mute it, is to turn the volume to 0, or to pause the music.
My Alpine stereo in my truck, also does not behave this way with mute. The mute button on it, decreases the volume level to 4% of the original, and then restores it when pressed again. To get no volume, the only options are to decrease the volume by turning the knob to 0, turn the power off, or pause the music (if the source is pausable). I think we should probably either behave like Mac OS X does here, or make the applet be astoundingly smarter, rather than exposing silly technicalities to the user, as we are currently doing now. -- Panel volume icon state changes to "mute" when volume reaches zero https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Desktop Experience Team, which is a direct subscriber. Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon When changing volume using slider/keyboard, the icon changes to "mute" when volume level is 0. It should change to an empty speaker icon instead. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
