If deferred volumes were activated, set_volume does not really set the volume, and is probably only meant to be called from the main thread. As we're currently really setting the port and the mute here (i e modifying ALSA), we should really modify the volume as well. Signed-off-by: David Henningsson <david.henningsson at canonical.com> --- Ok, so I believe I finally found something that could be the cause, or at least one of the causes, of my volume control problems. As this still is tricky stuff, I'm happy for additional eyes, but will push in a day or two if I get none. Also cc:ing Jyri Sasha on this one as he wrote the deferred volume stuff originally. src/modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c | 9 +++++++-- src/modules/alsa/alsa-source.c | 9 +++++++-- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c b/src/modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c index ea5188c..65f12c2 100644 --- a/src/modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c +++ b/src/modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c @@ -1465,8 +1465,13 @@ static int sink_set_port_cb(pa_sink *s, pa_device_port *p) { if (s->set_mute) s->set_mute(s); - if (s->set_volume) - s->set_volume(s); + if (s->flags & PA_SINK_DEFERRED_VOLUME) { + if (s->write_volume) + s->write_volume(s); + } else { + if (s->set_volume) + s->set_volume(s); + } return 0; } diff --git a/src/modules/alsa/alsa-source.c b/src/modules/alsa/alsa-source.c index 2680302..ab7335d 100644 --- a/src/modules/alsa/alsa-source.c +++ b/src/modules/alsa/alsa-source.c @@ -1368,8 +1368,13 @@ static int source_set_port_cb(pa_source *s, pa_device_port *p) { if (s->set_mute) s->set_mute(s); - if (s->set_volume) - s->set_volume(s); + if (s->flags & PA_SOURCE_DEFERRED_VOLUME) { + if (s->write_volume) + s->write_volume(s); + } else { + if (s->set_volume) + s->set_volume(s); + } return 0; } -- 1.7.9.1
