audacious does not restore volume level

[Martin Emrich]

Binary package hint: audacious

After starting audacious and playing music, the volume control button is at the same position as it was when I exited audacious, but the volume itself is is almost completely down. When I then move the volume slider just a little bit, the volume is set to the "right" level corresponding to the slider position.

Update: The volume does not only reset when audacious is started, but also when I skip manually to the next song. Then I have to move the volume control a little bit back and forth to restore my desired volume setting.

I encountered the volume level changing bug only in pulseaudio 1.15, however, in 1.14, audacious' volume level only changes when it is started, not when changing songs.

I have the same issue with audacious 2.1-1ubuntu1 and pulseaudio 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4. The only thing that is restored when audacious is restarted is the mute state (previously set in gnome volume control for audacious) but not the volume level.

The latest release (from here: http://hg.atheme.org/) fixes the volume changing bugs when using the pulseaudio output plugin in ubuntu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test Audacious 2.3 from the latest stable Ubuntu version (10.04) or the current Ubuntu development version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect #390632, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

According to enb in comment #4 was this bug fixed upstream and should be fixed in Ubuntu 10.04.
