Description David Timms 2008-04-27 05:21:01 UTC
Description of problem:
sometimes when the mouse wheel is used to adjust a volume level, turning it all
the way down, might cause the mute to become activated and the level control
disabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pavucontrol-0.9.6-1.fc9.i386

How reproducible: occurs as you hit 0%.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pavucontrol|output devices
2. put the mouse over the level control bar, and use the scroll up/down, or use
the keyboard left right or up/down to adjust the level
3. move to the left 0% end.
4. move back to the right.
  
Actual results:
- the level jumps to 5%, or however much changes you made after hitting 0%
- after 0.3 seconds,
- the mute button activates
- the level control becomes disabled.
- you can no longer adjust the level.

Expected results:
- mute is separate to level control - one should not affect the other.
- mute status should be shown with the mute button, not with the level graph.

Additional info:
- seems to be dependent on how fast I move back away from 0%
- seems to be dependent on whether the level step {10% for scroll wheel} is
aligned with the current level. if I am on 8% and step down, then up a few
times, then it might not occur.

- if I'm at 70% and I mute, I should be able to set the level to 50% and then
unmute, and the level control will be at 50%
- if I'm at 70% and I mute, I should be able to set the level to 90% and then
unmute, and the level control will be at 90%.

I may have also seen this in gnome-volume control.

Are you runnin the gnome mixer applet at the same time? Or some other mixer
tool? Please terminate those and try again. I am pretty sure this is not a bug
in pavucontrol but in those other volume controls.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

I am pretty sure that this is unrelated to PA but caused by some other mixer
running in parallel, most likely the GNOME mixer applet or GNOME volume control.
Since I got not feedback on this I am closing this now. Feel free to reopen when
this problem persists and is unrelated to those mixers.
