I have the same problem with gnome-applets-2.6.0-1. Also if I try to open the volume control through the applet it says that no mixer elemnts or devices could be found. Alsamixer and aumixer works fine. I believe that this is a dup of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120802 which has been fixed. no, i disagree. sound works correctly with the exception of the volume control applet. besides, i am running selinux in the enforcing = 0 mode. in FC2 test3, this problem still exists. i change the volume through the applet and then the computer changes it "slowly" (in test2, it moved much quicker) back until the volume is zero again. the behavior is slightly different in 2.6.0-3 from when i last reported but the net result is the same. the applet cannot control the volume as it is designed to do. this happened to me also. i wasn't able to control the volume at all and there were no audio channels listed in the preferences option. i removed the applet from the panel and added the applet again and it appears to be working normally now. i tried removing the applet and the placing it on the panel again, but still the volume control applet does not work... Same problem with latest devel RPMs. Ensoniq ES1371. I noticed the problem on FC2 final. As long as I set the GNOME Volume Control applet to its maximum setting, it'll stay there. Any setting less than that, the volume slider slowly slides down to zero on it's own. I removed the applet, inserted a new one on the panel - same behavior. My Realtek ALC650 onboard sound (on an Intel i865PE based Shuttle AB60N) is recognized and otherwise appears to be functioning properly for all users. FWIW, as others in the Fedora-test list have mentioned, opening the Volume Control from the applet reveals a two-tabbed mixer panel. For me, one tab is titled, "Intel ICH5 [Alsa Mixer]", the other, "Realtek rev 3 [Audio Mixer(OSS)]". The latter may be a representation of an OSS-capatibility layer that ALSA maintains for older programs that rely on OSS, but that is speculation on my part. This does not appear to be the same bug as 120802. my mixers are... SoundBlaster 16 [Alsa Mixer] CTL1745 [Audio Mixer (OSS)] i can also reproduce the behavior that if i set the volume to max then the volume slider stays put (didn't notice this until now). I have found a fix for this bug on gnome's bugzilla, referenced here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139961 The gnome-applets .rpm can be found here: http://www.math.utah.edu/~newren/linux/random/download/gnome-applets-2.6.1-1.i386.rpm Using the 2.6.1 gnome-applets, the Volume Control now stays where it's put! the redhat rpm package gnome-applets-2.6.0-5 appears to fix this problem. changing to resolved rawhide... |
