Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 192132
The volume buttons on USB sound are controlling WRONG mixer
Last modified: 2008-01-19 23:39:07 EST
I have Plantronics USB Sound headset (DSP400), which has mute button and volume control buttons. These buttons do work in FC5, but instead of changing the volume of the headphones (or microphone) on the headset, they change the volume of the built-in sound device (on my Acer Travelmate laptop). This is a bit irritating.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
Well, since at the moment I cannot reproduce the problem (that box has no FC on it any more), I think it would be fair just close this one. And sure I'll reopen once I find the problem again. Thank you very much for your support.
(this is a mass-close to kernel bugs in NEEDINFO state) As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug. If you believe that this bug was closed in error, please feel free to reopen this bug.
