Created attachment 364433 [details] pulseaudio -vvvvv when changing volumes Description of problem: When Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep -i -e pulse -e alsa | sort alsa-lib-1.0.21-3.fc12.i686 alsa-lib-1.0.21-3.fc12.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.21-2.fc12.x86_64 kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.3-10.1.noarch pulseaudio-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.19-1.fc12.i686 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.19-1.fc12.x86_64 xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-4.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set profile to 5.1 2.unset "lock channels together" 3.set rear left and rear right to zero Actual results: slider is always reset and bumps back to higher volume Expected results: slider can be set independently to whatever value Additional info: this was working in Fedora 11
which volume control tool are you using?
pavucontrol-0.9.9-1.fc12.x86_64 but it seems it's not caused by pavucontrol itself, looks more like pavucontrol sets volume and than shows higher volume (changed by pulseaudio itself?) This happens only with profile other than stereo and maybe it's caused by copying front channels to rear and center. If I set front-left channel to zero first, I can set rear-left channel to zero and it does not bump back. I can provide you screencast if it helps
hmm, there might be something wrong how we map the volume from 5.1 to stereo and back.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is caused by the feedback sound we play when you change the setting. Now the question is why that feedback sound has this effect.
ping, any update?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
problem still exists in Fedora 14
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora.
