It is NOT fixed in Hardy Alpha 6. At least not when installed to HD. It's MUCH better than it was; in fact it doesn't seem to jump around at all now. But the volume applet still displays muted when it is not.
Attached are three cropped screenshots. Because balloon tips are not included in a screencapture, you'll have to take my word that the balloon tip was displaying "Master: 12%", "Master: Muted", "Master: 19%". The volume level was not muted and sounded normal. Ubuntu version info is below. I'm glad to provide any more data as requested. Please keep in mind that we're not all developers here, so asking me which code segment I'm referring to or demanding a backtrace might result in a glazed-over look. :) $ uname -a Linux hostname 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 23:01:54 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)" ** Attachment added: "volumeApplet.zip" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12688953/volumeApplet.zip -- [GUTSY] Regression - Volume Control using gnome panel applet and keyboard shortcut alternates mute / % volume during sliding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126333 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
