Volume controls ineffective for all devices

[Oliver Elphick]

The panel volume control and the volume/mute keys on the keyboard have no effect. I have tried all available devices in System->Preferences->Sound and those available by right-clicking the panel volume control. None have any effect.

Alsamixer also has no effect.

Pulseaudio's volume controls have no effect.

gnome-alsa-mixer shows 3 "USB mixer" tabs. The middle one has sliders for 2 PCMs, CD, Mic, and 2 Speakers. The 2nd Speaker slider does work.

The applications' internal volume controls work.

Ubuntu version 9.04
pulseaudio 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20
gnome-volume-manager 2.24.0-0ubuntu1

There is no obvious documentation about how sound applications fit together.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Thanks in advance.

Not as such.

I recently had to reinstall Lucid after previously upgrading to it.
Sound now seems to work, although the system guessed wrong about which
channels to assign as input and output.

The current problem is that the Preferences->Sound dialog seems to grab
resources; it takes minutes to respond to any click and slows down
response times of other windows too.

I am not yet aware of any detailed documentation on sound in Ubuntu.

Sorry. It has gone away following a complete reinstallation of Lucid.
I can only say that I had previously been updating as new releases came
out, and that would offer the only hope of possibly reproducing the bug.
