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: After performing an upgrade from FC2 to FC3, I discovered that common GNOME audio control functionality was broken. Specifically, keyboard shortcuts defined in gnome-keybinding-properties fail to achieve the desired effect. Shortcuts bound to the options in the 'Sound' subsection are misbehaving. I have observed the following: Volume mute: behaves normally. Volume is brought to zero and an OSD is displayed with a clear progress bar. Volume up/down: misbehaving. OSD is displayed with same clear progress bar as the mute keyboard shortut. Volume level is unaffected. Play, pause, stop, and forward/back track are also working properly. The volume control works properly when scaled with the scroll wheel or manually adjusted with the mouse. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Assign volume up/down keyboard shortcut in gnome-keybinding-properties 2. Press assigned shortcut 3. Actual Results: Volume is not modified and an OSD is displayed indicating a blank/muted volume level. Expected Results: Volume level is adjusted up/down and new level is reflected on OSD. Additional info:
Deleting ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard and re-assigning the keybindings now allows volume functionality, although it is not working properly. Applying the 'volume up' combination will increment the volume on the OSD and in the volume control, up to four times. (This is something like 1/8 the maximum volume.) Applying the 'volume down' combination will mute. Applying the 'mute' combination will zero the volume; however, a second application of 'mute' will not restore the prior volume level.
I am having similiar problems. I just switched systems but kept the same home hard drive so my settings didn't change at all. It used to work but now volume up maxes out the volume on one keypress and volume down doesn't do anything. Mute does work as do the other controls. On my home system, I added the same keyboard and have never been able to get volume up or down to work with similiar behaviour to comment #1. OSD comes up correctly but behaviour is wrong.
This still is a problem for me in FC4T3 + may 26th updates. If there just was a way to reset it, I'd be happy as this used to work.
Clean install of fc4, new user created from scratch, same results. I think this is not a gnome problem but maybe an alsa problem with the emu10k1? I wish I knew what software was used from end to end. For me, the volume up key goes full blast, volume down does nothing, and mute mutes but subsequent presses make it unmute with the volume turned down just a little. So 10 presses of the mute key do mute, unmute, mute, unmute, etc with the volume slowly going to zero.
Additional "me too": OS: FC4 i386 (clean install) Machine: Dell Inspiron 8500 (laptop) Problem: GNOME Keyboard Shortcuts settings detect key-press of the volume media keys (play, stop etc not yet tested), but they do not work AT All when used. The Above worked fine in FC3. Interestingly the cursor flashes as if a normal key were pressed when the volume keys are hit, but not the play/pause (etc.) ones.
Is there anything I could do to help resolve this problem? What other information would be helpful?
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
