From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Fedora/1.0.4-2 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Sometimes the sound is muted. I have to change settings in gnome-volume-control then and then sound is there again Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.10.2-1 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot computer 2. login via GNOME 2. play sound Actual Results: no sound but sound card detected Expected Results: sound is played Also i would expect to be able to control sound via "PCM", "PC Speaker" and "Master". Additional info: I now know what to do to change things back. I have a Via KT400 Mainboard, The volume is only controllable by "VIA DXS". Master and PCM volume does never change anything - also PC Speaker. I can mute "Master". But I can not mute "PCM" without stopping sound. if the sound is gone there is a check mark at "IEC958 Capture Monitor" and "PCM" is muted. I then have to unmark the Capture Monitor an unmute "PCM". I don't know if gnome-media is the problem. Might it also be ALSA?
BTW: I use the onboard sound. VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller
RHEL5 is similar problem but it only happens when gnome-volume-control is running. When the volume slider on xmms is decreased into minimum, it mutes PCM slider. I'm able to reproduce the problem easily.
I don't understand what the problem is here. You're using the volume applet, and it mutes the Master channel when the volume is set to 0 with another application, right? Or is the problem that the tracks aren't unmuted on startup?
I am not using Fedora any more.
