Ah, okay! Cool, that worked great. Thanks! No the indicator icon is not hollowed out. (If I understand what you mean.) When I restart pulse, the indicator icon only reflects the indicator slider. If I drag the indicator slider, the icon changes with it, but the volume is unchanged.
When I run 'killall indicator-sound-service' however, the indicator icon changes to reflect the volume of the system if that was different than that of the slider. By the way, I just found out that pulseaudio is restarted immediately when I kill it. $ pkill pulseaudio && pgrep -l pulse 31854 pulseaudio $ pkill pulseaudio && pgrep -l pulse 31857 pulseaudio $ pkill pulseaudio && pgrep -l pulse 31871 pulseaudio So if I run pulseaudio in the terminal after killing it, it tells me the following. $ pulseaudio E: pid.c: Daemon already running. E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. Maybe that's normal, I'm unsure. I just thought I'd mention it. -- sound applet volume slider has no effect if pulseaudio is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662296 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
