I have just sent the following instructions to everyone who sent an email to this list, or to -test-list, indicating they are suffering from a manifestation of the bug whereby the simple PulseAudio-implemented 'Volume' control in gnome-volume-control cannot properly control their volume. I'm also sending it to the lists to catch anyone I missed, or who didn't post about it but nevertheless is suffering. If you are suffering from this issue - if g-v-c does not properly control your volume and you have to use alsamixer to get output at a usable level (*not* if you need alsamixer to switch input devices or set input volumes, at least not for now) - please file a report according to these instructions. Thanks. We're trying to get these kinds of bugs fixed. It would be very helpful if you could file a bug at http://bugzilla.redhat.com , on the pulseaudio package in Rawhide. Please include the following information. 1. Attach the file /tmp/alsa-info.txt, after running 'alsa-info.sh --no-upload' 2. To find out exactly what you had to change to control your volume, please do this, as root: alsactl init amixer -c0 > amixer_before.txt Now verify that your problem exists again. Then run a mixer and make the changes you have to make to 'resolve' your problem. Then go back to running commands: amixer -c0 > amixer_after.txt diff -u amixer_before.txt amixer_after.txt > amixer_diff.txt Then attach the file 'amixer_diff.txt' to the bug report. The commands above assume the important sound device is card #0 in the output of 'cat /proc/asound/cards' . If this is not the case, change -c0 in each of the above commands to -cN, where N is the actual number of the important device in 'cat /proc/asound/cards' - for instance, if it's card number 2 in that list, change all -c0 to -c2 . 3. Also please include an exact description of the problem, including how your card behaves before the problem is fixed, how it behaves after the problem is fixed, and information on your actual sound output device - are you using a simple pair of computer speakers? Internal speakers on a laptop? Headphones? A digital S/PDIF connection to an external decoder? Once you have done this, please let me know the number of your bug report. We will then work to make sure as many of these bugs are resolved as possible. You may be contacted for further information, or a confirmation of the fix, on the bug report, so please keep an eye on it after filing.
