Comment 1 Nivag 2010-04-21 21:12:04 UTC
Last time I rebooted, the input sound device had _NOT_ reverted.

However, I have hibernated and restored several times since I raised this error, and the input sound device _HAD_ reverted, each and every time.

I am using the machine for work (I work from home).  So at the moment, I should not be causally rebooting it!

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 16:48:04 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

I just want to confirm that it's still the case for fedora 14. When I remove the usb device and replug it, it loses its priority in gnome-volume-control.

Comment 4 Nivag 2010-11-04 19:21:28 UTC
I installed Fedora 14 final.

I have a usb webcam that I had selected its microphone.

The selection survived a reboot.

However, when I hibernated and the restored, the camera's microphone was not even listed as an option!

Comment 5 Nivag 2010-11-04 19:22:59 UTC
Sorry, I should have changed the Fedora version to 14, only just noticed I had left it at 12!

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:57:03 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora

longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
