Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
I recently upgraded to Intrepid.
When I press the volume up/down keys on my laptop, the volume OSD
appears and shows that the volume changes. Unfortunately it gives me
very little granularity: I can have either 25%, 51%, 77% or 100% going
up from muted, or 74%, 48% or 22% going down from 100%. I almost always
want a volume somewhere in between these values (48% is typically much
too soft, and 74% is typically too loud).
As far as I can tell, the granularity is supposed to be controlled by
the /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/volume_step gconf key, which I've never
changed and seems to have defaulted to 6. That would be fine, but I am
not seeing 6% increments. If I change volume_step to any other positive
integer the effect seems to be the same (increments of roughly 25%). If
I change volume_step to 0, the volume keys still display the OSD but
don't change the value, as expected.
The way Hardy and earlier behaved worked just fine for me.
