From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461) Description of problem: On machines with no sound hardware, the default FC4 installation has a volume control that starts with the desktop startup. Every time a user logs in, they get a "No volume control elements and/or devices found." which they have to acknowledge (ok, I guess they don't *have* to, but it does get confusing/annoying). At logout time, when X is shutting down, there is another box that flashes by too quickly to see, but I assume it's from the applet trying to save the mixer settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.10.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and start FC4 on a machine with no sound HW. 2. Get annoyed by the dialog boxes at login and logout time. 3. Actual Results: Annoying dialog box appears. Expected Results: If there is no sound hardware present, it should silently fail. If there is a problem with a machine where sound hardware is present, but not working, then the user will probably go to the sound card detection applet. Additional info:
