Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kmix
I recently installed 8.10 beta (fresh install), updated daily. I have a HP Pavilion laptop. On 8.04 the multimedia volume keys on my laptop (Volume+ and Volume-) used to bring up an on-screen popup showing the volume level, and changing the volume level of a few % each press. Now in 8.10 I get a strange behavior. Out of the box, after installation, the keys would bring up the OSD showing the volume level, but not change it. I made some experiments in the "System Settings / Keyboard and mouse / Keyboard shortcuts" screen. Here's what I found: If I assign the volume keys to "Decrease Volume" and "Increase Volume": - The PCM channel slider in the mixer moves up and down at each keypress; other channels are unchanged - The OSD appears but the value shown doesn't change; - The small speaker icon on the panel doesn't change its aspect. If I assign the keys to "Decrease Volume - Front" and "Increase Volume - Front": - The Front channel slider in the mixer moves up and down at each keypress; the other channels are unchanged - The OSD doesn't come onscreen. But if I bring it up with i.e. the "Mute" key, I can see it reflects the "Front" slider value. - The small speaker icon on the panel changes (it goes from a speaker with 3 waves to a speaker with no waves). In either way, the actual sound output is changed, because both channels need to be up to have maximum volume. So it seems that - the "Bring up the OSD" command is tied to the PCM channel; - the actual value shown in the OSD is tied to the Front channel; - the icon on the panel is tied to the Front channel. This is confusing... ** Affects: kdemultimedia (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Regression - Intrepid - Multimedia volume keys bring up the popup but don't change the volume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdemultimedia in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
