Description of problem: If I set the volume control to control the Master channel and drag the bar to any position above the absolute bottom, it starts moving down step-by-step (approx. two "ticks" per second). It's as if it was a rubber band attached to it that pulls it down. Very strange. I have to set it to control the "Volume" (channel?) to make it stay up, but this setting isn't remembered between sessions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on speaker icon in the tray 2. Drag the knob/bar to desired level Actual results: The knob/bar starts moving downwards Expected results: It should stay where you leave it Additional info: Hardware setup: Shuttle ST62K, ATI RS300 chipset ALSA version: alsa-lib-1.0.3a-1, alsa-utils-1.0.3-1
This problem has reared it's ugly head here on this Gateway M500 laptop in FC2-T3 as well... When I first log into Gnome the login sound file is played but there after I have no sound. The sound chip used is the ALI-5451. Also, I have the same bug/problem as described in bug #119732 in that when I open the volume applet there appears two mixer tabs with one being ALSA Mixer and the other OSS Mixer. BTW - the sound plays normally in the KDE desktop!
Next time I will double-check everything before I say word -- I no longer have any sound working in KDE either!!! Everything looks normal, Kmix shows I should have sound at my disposal, but nothing is heard.... Aagghh!!!
Same thing here with a SIS7012 sound chipset. I can set the volume level to max and it will stay there and sound levels ARE restored after reboot. However, if I do not set the volume level to maximum in the panel applet, it gradually lowers until itâs at 0 and the master level will be muted upon reboot because that's what was stored at shutdown. I can set the master volume level to whatever I want if I bring up the mixer and adjust it there and it retains that level.
This problem happens in FC2-test3 with a fresh install. Could someone change the version to test3?
Same problem with FC2 final. I also have 2 mixers as mentioned above. Sound card is soundblaster live (emu10k1).
This is a duplicate of the upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139961. I have updated rpms available at http://www.math.utah.edu/~newren/linux/random/download/. (I created the rpms by merely taking the 2.6.1 tarball of gnome-applets from ftp.gnome.org and using it in place of the 2.6.0 tarball in the fedora srpm). The rpms at that site fix the problem for me. :)
I can verify this problem in FC2 Final on SB Live. I can also confirm that the fix mentioned in comment #6 works.

Elijah's RPM from comment #6 works for me, too.

Problem still present in FC3test1.
I'm going to pull in gnome-applets-2.6.2 in an FC2 update soon. It'll go into rawhide too.

Just pushed a testing update which should fix this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-July/msg00494.html Appreciate if someone could try it out and confirm.
I can confirm that gnome-applets-2.6.2.1-1 fixes this problem on FC2. Anything in particular you want me to try? The "Steps to reproduce" in the original bug report no longer reproduce it :-)
Thanks for testing :-) And Elijah - thanks for tracking down the upstream bug and making a test RPM with the fix available. Very helpful ...
Okay, gnome-applets-2.6.2.1-1 has been pushed to FC2 updates
Applying gnome-applets-2.6.2.1-1 this morning via up2date has caused this issue to appear for me.. it was working fine before. running FC2
