[Bug 364973] Re: Mute sound on resume
This bug should be fixed and taken more seriously. It is a privacy breach because someone can have some information about a user without his knowledge. Some people put important things in recordings : their thought, and other important stuf.

[Bug 364973] Re: Mute sound on resume
Ok, I finally solved it. By naming the script "/etc/pm/sleep.d/00_mute- alsa", I guess it runs earlier in the suspend process, and doesn't cause a problem with PA and cause suspend to fail. Surprisingly, using amixer works, in spite of PA; I haven't tried using pactl, but since this works, I'm stopping here. :) So this script should work (adjust paramaters to amixer as needed): $ cat /etc/pm/sleep.d/00_mute-alsa #!/bin/sh case "$1" in suspend|hibernate) amixer -c 1 set Master mute esac ** Changed in: pm-utils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364973 Title: Mute sound on resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/364973/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 364973] Re: Mute sound on resume
I have tried everything I can think of to make this work, but there's a
roadblock at the end of every path.
1. Scripts in /etc/apm/{resume,suspend}.d do not appear to run at all in
Oneiric.
2. Scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d do run, however...
a. using alsactl doesn't do anything, perhaps because of a conflict with
PulseAudio. However, using alsactl manually, after the system has finished
resuming, works fine.
b. Using pactl at suspend time causes suspend to fail completely. I have no
idea why--all I know is that if I run "pactl set-sink-mute 0 1" at suspend
time, suspending doesn't happen. If I run it only at resume time, suspend
works, but...
c. Using pactl at resume time doesn't do anything. But if I run "pactl
set-sink-mute 0 1" after I've resumed and logged back in, it works fine.
I even tried removing the executable bit from /sbin/alsactl, just in
case the store/restore was conflicting with PA...but that made no
difference.
It seems like there is just no way to make the system mute itself when
suspending or resuming. I guess there is some race condition somewhere,
maybe ALSA or PA are not ready yet when the scripts try to control them.
The obvious solution is to mute it when suspending, but as I said, that
causes suspend to completely fail for no apparent reason.
I'd really like to not have to worry about my system making noise when I
open it up in a library, etc because I forgot to mute it.

Being able to mute sound with the media keys from gdm (which is apparently happening?) and the screensaver lock screen would be very useful here. -- Mute sound on resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
