Since audacious-1.4* there seems to be something b0rked with the volume controls. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't (there is a thread about this in users-de). In more detail:
Adjusting the volume from within audacious works, usually with all files in the current playlist, if at least one of these files has been added manually, since audacious has been started. If this is not the case, you might be able to change the volume from within audacious for a few seconds, but after that, audacious seems to loose complete control over it. You can move the sliders, without them changing anything. If you want to do a quick check, if this problem applies also to you, try " $ audacious foo.mp3 " wait, say 10 seconds, and then try to change the volume from within audacious. I'm going to file a Bug about this, but before doing so, I want to collect some more information, as I don't think, that this problem affects anyone using audacious, and I want this fixed. So, if you are using audacious-1.4.*, please tell me if the issue I've described above applies to you or not. Also include at least the following information: a.) The versions and USE-Flags of audacious and audacious-plugins. b.) "$ uname -msvr" c.) Your CFLAGS. d.) The audio output plugin you are using. Here is what I have: a.) media-sound/audacious-1.4.5 USE="dbus nls -chardet -libsamplerate" 0 kB media-plugins/audacious-plugins-1.4.4 USE="aac alsa dbus flac gnome mp3 nls pulseaudio sdl sse2 vorbis wma -adplug -arts -chardet -esd -jack -lirc -modplug -mtp -musepack -oss -sid -sndfile -timidity -tta -wavpack" 0 kB b.) Linux 2.6.23-gentoo-r9 #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 10 21:18:38 CET 2008 x86_64 c.) CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" d.) ALSA Thanks for your help, Matthias
