always show unmuted at startup

[u-foka]

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

after startup, the sound indicator always shows an unmuted startup, even when the sound is actually muted...
On the menu, it shows unmute (what's right) when the icon is invalid through...

Hi,

Thanks for the taking the time to report this. One question is pulse audio running on your system ?

 Hy!

Yes, as the default installation comes with it :)

Hi,

I can't reproduce this. Just checking but is 'autospawn' definitely set to true in your pulse client.conf, in /etc/pulse/ ?

Conor

[u-foka (ufooka)]

Hy!

I have autospawn commented out in my config file: "; autospawn = yes" but it's suggesting that it's on by default (I never touched that)

Now as a quick test, i've muted the sound, logged out, and back in, and the sound indicator showed an unmuted state...

Can I post any other config file or anything to track down the problem?

[Conor Curran (cjcurran)]

Hi again,

I just cannot reproduce this. On either 32bit or 64bit. And nobody else seems to have this issue :(.
If you go use gnome-volume-settings does this show the device as being muted ?

[u-foka (ufooka)]

Hy!

The thing is I don't know what caused this bug only for me, because I didn't
do anything with pulse... I would appreciate, if you can point me the right
direction, how can I find what is the cause of this bug...

Bdw, I've thinking if it can be a driver problem or not? I have a Dell
Vostro 1310 with an integrated intel soundcard:
00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller [8086:284b] (rev 03)

I've also made a short video on what's happening (I kill the
indicator-applet, but the result is the same after logging in with muted
audio)

Thanks for your help!

[Conor Curran (cjcurran)]

looks like a bug alright but if only I could reproduce this on any of my 3 test machines...

[Nate Wiebe (natew)]

Installed 10.10 RC amd64 using VMWare and I can confirm that this problem exists.

[Nate Wiebe (natew)]

Also, as soon as a sound is played when muted, the icon properly updates to the red muted volume icon. But until a status update, it shows as being unmuted.

[Arthur Rilke (arthurrilke)]

This problem also occurs on my system. 64-bit Maverick, fully updated as of 2010-10-05.

[Conor Curran (cjcurran)]

Bug fixed, will be merged into 0.4.8 and released with the SRU next week sometime.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted indicator-sound into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Orest (orestta)]

I used to have this problem; Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop, Asus Eeepc 1005P. After installing the update from -proposed, it seems fixed. Thank you.

[Conor Curran (cjcurran)]

Thanks for the feedback Lores !

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

SRU verification for Maverick:
I have reproduced the problem with indicator-sound 0.4.7-0ubuntu2 in maverick and have verified that the version of indicator-sound 0.4.8-0ubuntu1 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Thanks to all the testers.

Marking as verification-done
