yeah i missed that, but when you say system wide, its still a user specific setting. Changing in preferences > sound >device ... all of the options change to pulse audio is what is required, and should be set by default. the panel volume control does the right thing, the full volume control does the right thing, keyboard shortcuts work, sound recorder no longer complains about multimedia setting (not sure if it can actually record) the fact that there is one volume track when using pulseaudio is what is expected i guess for pulseaudio, as it controls stuff itself. Good.
so this fixes everything, but should be set by default. this is a defaults bug, which should be within the scope of ubuntu. As pulseaudio wil be installed on all hardy heron machines they should all default to controlling pulseaudio, whatever the specific sound card they have. This should be a fix for everyone, not just my specific sound card. BY setting the default to always be pulseaudio, whatever the device, no sound card can have this specific problem. -- gnome-volume-control chooses oss as default device instead of pulse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
