Description of problem: I'm doing release validation testing with a qemu-kvm system installed from the compose "Fedora-Live-MATE_Compiz-x86_64-23-TC1.iso". By default, the applet from mate-panel is muted. The TestCase "QA:Testcase_audio_basic" states explicitly that "users should not have to adjust any default volume settings in order to hear the sound". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mate-panel-1.10.1-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 23 Mate (Final TC1 Compose). 2. Log in to a Mate session. Actual results: mate-panel's volume applet is muted by default. Expected results: In accordance to the TestCase cited above, the volume should not be muted by default. Additional info: Well, I know that this might be silly and all, but I must follow QA's guidelines. See this for reference: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_audio_basic I set 'severity' to low since, in my opinion, this is not a big issue.
Is it only muted and you can unmute it? Or you can't unmute it? Is pulsaudio running?
I did the installation 2 times from mate-compiz tc1 with virtual-manger qemu-kvm virtualization. Mate volume applet isn't muted. Maybe you're a victim of the pulseaudio flat volume bug, see devel mailing list. I use 'flat-volumes = no' in daemon.conf on my host system. Please try again and give more debug infos. Otherwise i will mark this report with 'works for me'.
Hi Wolfgang, thank you for your replies and your hints.

With this setting, the bug isn't reproducible here too, thanks! Also, I've tested with a live usb on bare metal and everything is working properly by default. (In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #1) > Is it only muted and you can unmute it? > Or you can't unmute it? > Is pulsaudio running? Yes, I was able to unmute the applet. Audio was already working fine, anyway, it was only muted by default.
Hi Giulio, cool that it works. I don't think it makes sence to re-asign the report to virtual-manager or pulseaudio, so i will close it. Feel free to re-open and re-asign the report to culprit component, if you don't agree.
