From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: My sound work fine and the gnome volume control work fine. My card use the module snd-intel8x0. I map my mute button on my keyboard in the gnome keyboard shortcut to the mute field. When I press the button, the small popup to say it mute my sound come. The sound don't mute, it simply go down to 0. And when I try to unmute, it don't do anything... If I go to the mixer and mute by hand, it work fine, it show a small red cross on the speaker applet. It work fine in FC2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. map mute key button 2. press mute key button 3. press mute key button Actual Results: It don't mute (just put the sound to 0) and don't unmute Expected Results: Mute and unmute Additional info:
More FC3 problems: cannot configure which channel to affect with multimedia keys. After mapping the multimedia keys with Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts the increase volume, decrease volume and mute keys shows the visual feedback (a speaker with a volume bar) when pressed. It looks perfectly OK, the bar is longer when increased, shorter when decreased, and the mute button toggles it to a zero state. The volume, however, is not affected at all, always the same. My setup is such that the 'Master' channel does not affect the volume; the 'PCM' and 'Master surround' does, though. Since the built-in volume command affects the 'Master' channel I presume this is the problem. The ACME package had a configuration option to determine which channel should be affected by the multimedia keys. BTW, testing with gnome-alsamixer I can confirm the mute bug: The 'increase volume', 'decrease volume' buttons affects the Master volume; looks fine. The 'mute' button just pulls it to zero, and there it stays even if you push it again :-( The ACME package worked in RH9, but not in FC2. Havn't been able to find a compilable RPM of ACME to try in FC3. (there is a compile bug which is fixed in the gnome sources, but in the RPM:s). FC2 had the same problem. Sw: FC3, updated as of Jan 18. Hw: ASUS A7V8X mbo, VIA sound chip (snd_via82xx module)
