Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 115777
volume control applet does not control correct output, cannot change
Last modified: 2013-03-13 00:46:09 EDT
Description of problem: In the preferences for the volume control applet, there is no choice for 'Master Surround' output (as described by gnome-alsamixer for device 'Analog Devices AD1980'). There is a 'main volume' choice, but this has no effect on my hardware. BTW, the volume control applet worked perfectly when I installed the x86_64 core 1 test 1 distro without any modifications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets 2.5.4 kernel: 2.6.2-1.81 gnome-alsamixer-0.9.6-1.fr alsa-lib-1.0.2-1 alsa-utils-1.0.2-1 Additional info: sound device: snd_via82xx 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) Hardware: Asus K8V deluxe mobo AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Fedora Core release 1.90 (FC2 Test 1) Linux xxx.com 2.6.2-1.81 #1 Sat Feb 14 09:37:09 EST 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Hm, lots of updates since FC2 test 1, would be nice to know whether this is reproducible with e.g. FC3 test 2 or even just FC2, particularly after upgrading the kernel. I suspect that your sound device driver is broken.
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. Note that FC3 and FC4 are only supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes. If this is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy. Otherwise, please retest with FC5 or FC6, and if it still occurs, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Many changes have occurred since this bug was first filed and it may be fixed in a more recent version. We apologize for not fixing this bug earlier. Thanks!
