My opinion is that the volume in the applet should work as in the sound- settings. IOW, present the user a linear "volume"slider; when it is at the top it has full amplification, and in some point midway there is 100% volume with no amplification.
See the attached screenshot. The applet is showing 100% volume --- maybe that is technically correct, but in reality the volume could be upped more (see position of the cursor, in B). Worse, if I close the sound-settings window, an then simply touch the indicator trying to up the volume, the level is snapped back to point C (where it says 100%). You can't see that in real time (you have to close and reopen sound/settings to see it), which is another bug in itself ;-), but you can hear it. My opinion is that the behavior of the sound-settings slider is the correct one, and should be mimicked by the applet. ** Attachment added: "Non-coherent volume indicators" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/786525/+attachment/3896102/+files/ScreenshotVolumeAmpl.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786525 Title: unity volume indicator do not take into account amplification To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/786525/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
