Description of problem: sometimes when the mouse wheel is used to adjust a volume level, turning it all the way down, might cause the mute to become activated and the level control disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pavucontrol-0.9.6-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: occurs as you hit 0%. Steps to Reproduce: 1. pavucontrol|output devices 2. put the mouse over the level control bar, and use the scroll up/down, or use the keyboard left right or up/down to adjust the level 3. move to the left 0% end. 4. move back to the right. Actual results: - the level jumps to 5%, or however much changes you made after hitting 0% - after 0.3 seconds, - the mute button activates - the level control becomes disabled. - you can no longer adjust the level. Expected results: - mute is separate to level control - one should not affect the other. - mute status should be shown with the mute button, not with the level graph. Additional info: - seems to be dependent on how fast I move back away from 0% - seems to be dependent on whether the level step {10% for scroll wheel} is aligned with the current level. if I am on 8% and step down, then up a few times, then it might not occur. - if I'm at 70% and I mute, I should be able to set the level to 50% and then unmute, and the level control will be at 50% - if I'm at 70% and I mute, I should be able to set the level to 90% and then unmute, and the level control will be at 90%. I may have also seen this in gnome-volume control.
Created attachment 303891 [details] example result of mouse scrolling the level up and down.
Are you runnin the gnome mixer applet at the same time? Or some other mixer tool? Please terminate those and try again. I am pretty sure this is not a bug in pavucontrol but in those other volume controls.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I am pretty sure that this is unrelated to PA but caused by some other mixer running in parallel, most likely the GNOME mixer applet or GNOME volume control. Since I got not feedback on this I am closing this now. Feel free to reopen when this problem persists and is unrelated to those mixers.
