I have the same issue, only with gutsy, on multiple computers (mainly DELLs but also an HP), all with an intel sound card (snd_hda_intel module) ...
Trying to describe the problem in other words: Sliding the volume bar from, say, the bottom to the top produces, instead of a steady volume increase: volume increase, mute, volume increase, volume decrease, mute, volume increase. Sliding volume bars in the gnome-volume-control windows gives the same weirdness, sometimes also unlocking the left and right channels and setting one of them to a different random value. If i "strace" the mixer applet process, I cannot reproduce the problem, which somehow makes me think of a timing related race. -- [Gutsy] gnome panel volume control alternates mute/% volume during sliding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151877 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-applets in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
