Audio sliders snap to left (zero) in Ekiga

[Dave Henning]

Binary package hint: ekiga

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (32-bit) on an HP DV1000 Laptop.

I am running the v2.0.12-0ubuntu2 version of Ekiga.

When I go through the configuration druid, everything works fine. The audio test passes using the default audio device and there is no problem hearing myself on the 4-second echo. I am using the ALSA manager.

However, when I go to use the software, the audio sliders are stuck to the left which means the audio levels are both zero.

If I call <email address hidden>, it says that I am connected, but I don't hear anything. I assume I am connected. The connected icon says I am connected until I manually disconnect. The log says that the "Local user cleared the call." It says "Registered Accounts: 1" so I think my diamondcard.us account is all set.

Expected behavior: Audio sliders go to desired location, audio can be heard.
What happened: Audio sliders go back to zero after letting go of mouse.

I happens the same to me with Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H, and before it was the same on an Asus A8V-MX.

still an issue with intrepid?

[Dave Henning (dave-evlax)]

I still see a problem (in Intrepid AMD64), but it is not as bad. Now, I
can operate the sliders while I have connected a phone call. But, if I
try to operate the sliders before the call connects, they still seem to
snap back.

The ekiga version is still 2.0.12.

I am having this same problem with Ekiga 2.0.12 in Ubuntu Intrepid. The problem is with the audio sliders and the video sliders as well.

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

Could you test in jaunty, I tried reproducing but this appears to be fixed.

[Yannick Defais (sevmek)]

Hi,

The intended behaviour is not to be able to use the slider if not in call. It is "fixed" in Jaunty (ekiga 3.2.0) as the button is not usable if not in a call.

Closing this bug.

Best regards,
Yannick
