Volume applet 2.24.0.1 bug volume control

[ba5e]

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

When using a logitech s510 wireless keyboard's volume buttons, no volume is changed.

fig1. shows volume control and adjustment of Master changes volume level.
fig2. shows config of the volume applet (preferences) which should allow you to change what device is controlled by the vol up and vol down keys. It is set to the correct device and channel (only master exists) but it fails to change the volume.

I have two soundcards, a SB Audigy and inbuilt one and this happens with both.

thank you for your bug report, does using alsamixer works correctly?

[ba5e (willieham)]

I have tried adjusting volumes with all the numerous sliders on different mixers, to no avail. I did however 'unhide' some sliders from the SB Audigy (CAXXX) mixer and find one that set the volume It was 'front' I think, it was set at 7/8 volume but moving it up clipped the sound terribly.

that's rather an alsa-utils bug

[Parthan SR (parth-technofreak)]

I can confirmed this bug. I face the same issue of keyboard volume keys not having any effect in actually changing the volume (as in what the volume applet found in notification area does).

I confirmed bug #268949 but should I mark it duplicate of this bug?
