+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #444251 +++ Cloned because this bug exists since over 6 years and the Maintainer did not take any action on it. Description of problem: Adjusting any of the levels with the mouse wheel changes the level in the opposite direction to what would be considered normal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pavucontrol-0.9.6-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: on both F8 and rawhide. Steps to Reproduce: 1. pavucontrol 2. place mouse cursor over either channel level control for any element. 3. mouse wheel rotate down {ie equivalent to web page scroll down}. result: volume is turned up {increased}. 4. mouse wheel rotate up result: volume is turned down {decreased}. Expected results: scroll up -> vol up scroll down -> vol down Additional info: The other level control tools {speaker icon at the top right of the desktop, and the gnome-mixer} use the scroll up -> volume up logic. --- Additional comment from David Timms on 2008-04-27 01:23:54 EDT --- While the left and right arrows make sense, then up and down arrows also adjust in direction down and up respectively. --- Additional comment from Bug Zapper on 2008-05-14 06:12:00 EDT --- Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping --- Additional comment from Lennart Poettering on 2008-06-04 07:16:55 EDT --- *** Bug 449269 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** --- Additional comment from Bug Zapper on 2009-11-18 07:28:57 EST --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping --- Additional comment from Bug Zapper on 2009-12-18 01:07:26 EST --- Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. --- Additional comment from David Timms on 2009-12-18 03:10:15 EST --- The issue continues to exist in pavucontrol-0.9.10-1.fc12.i686. Unfortunately my attempts to fix led nowhere, yet this is a silly usability problem; compare rolling the mouse wheel over the notification speaker icon, which at least adjusts the level in the expected direction. --- Additional comment from Bug Zapper on 2010-11-04 07:56:16 EDT --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.

The newer Sound Preferences dialog gets the scroll direction to action the right way around. --- Additional comment from Bug Zapper on 2011-06-02 14:33:01 EDT --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
