I'm experiencing the same issue on a Dell Inspiron 530 (desktop), but not on a Dell Inspiron 1420N (laptop).
I thought I might be able to work around this by calling the "--session volume=100" option. However, even with this, there's no sound. If I hit one of the volume up or volume down keys within Xine (not the Gnome system volume) then the sound appears instantly (at the correct level). So for instance, if I hit the "Volume Down" key once, suddenly I have sound at 99%. I tried removing my .xine config directory and re-running xine, but still the same. -- Xine-UI defaults to sound volume to 0% in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231507 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
