Re: Mute button on T61 doesn't work in F11
Hi Matthew, I've lost the original message-id so I've started a new thread with the same subject (nabble, gmane, etc. don't provide the original message headers). I'm guessing that your mute control and volume controls have become attached to different sound channels. I had a similar problem on f10. I listen to a radio tuner that's fed into "Line In". At first the kb mute, volume up, and volume down buttons worked. Then the mute button went on vacation, i.e. when pressed the popup would show muted but the sound was not muted. Then yesterday morning I popped in a CD which brought up Rhythmbox. Volume AND mute buttons were both working. Well, me thinks, this is cool. After the CD finished I went back to my radio on Line In but then none of the keyboard controls worked. :( It turns out that there is the system volume control (by default on the default toolbar), the volume controls on the alsamixer, and another controller found at System->Preferences->Hardware->Sound. From there go to Default Mixer Tracks and choose (Alsa mixer) from the dropdown box. There you will see the same controls as on the alsamixer. By holding shift-control one can select multiple channels to control from the keyboard. (I deselected master and selected both PCM and Line-in). Voila'. Now the main volume control handles the master channel and the keyboard controls pcm and line-in. Since I only use one at a time there is no conflict for me. What had happened? Can't say for sure but it seems the the mute button had become attached to pcm while volume controls were attached to line-in (which later moved mysteriously to pcm). So... there is definitely a bug in there somewhere but I don't know enough yet to help track it down. Hope that helps. :m) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

This is a fresh install of F11, and I'm running GNOME. Simpler things first: System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts check if the accelerator for "Volume mute" is set and try to reassign it to your mute button -- Gianluca Sforna http://morefedora.blogspot.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/gianlucasforna -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Pressing the mute button doesn't change the setting. Also, this worked in F10 with no resetting of anything. Thanks for the suggestion, though. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Press it after starting xev(1) and putting the cursor inside the box. You may need to add XF86AudioMute back to which ever laptop-specific keymap file it used to be in but isn't any more. In my case, In some past fedora I slapped this into /etc/X11/Xmodmap . It is now done by default for me, so I no longer use it. /etc/X11/Xmodmap: ! some useful mappings for extended keyboards. ! only the first three are on the CPQ V5000Z kbd keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 236 = XF86Mail keycode 229 = XF86Search keycode 230 = XF86Go keycode 178 = XF86HomePage keycode 223 = XF86Sleep -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
