2008-11-05 16:17:23 Parthan SR gnome-volume-manager: statusexplanation I am facing the same issue in Ubuntu Inrepid. I have a Volume mute, up and down keys in my keyboard, in addition to having a Fn+Esc=Mute, Fn+F2=Vol Up and Fn+F1=Vol Down key combination as well. When playing some media in a player, be it Rhythmbox or Totem, I could use either of it to reduce the Volume as in the volume provided by the Volume/Sound applet in the notification area as well. But now, when I use these buttons I still get a Volume applet popup, but this is not anyway relating to the notification area's Volume applet. As a result, when I press the keyboard keys though the popup shows volume to be changing, there is no actual change in the Master volume. Thus my keyboard volume buttons are actually of no use in altering the volume. I had to use the notification area volume applet every time I want to change the volume. Am attaching my lspci -vvnn output to the bug report. Am not sure which package does the sound/volume applet falls into. Please let me know if it requires additional information.

Pathan - thats because gnome-volume-manager has nothing to do with this. gnome-volume-manager is a legacy application for managing removable volumes. The mixer applet you speak of is part of gnome-applets, so re-assigning. This also has nothing to do with the kernel so I'm closing that task

This also has nothing to do with the kernel so I'm closing that task It seems you're mixing things here, the original report is about the applet not being able to work with the UP and DOWN keys there's nothing about FN keys, if you're facing that issue, you should open a new bug rather.

I've sent this upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562471 ; I've also changed the linux task to ubuntu since i don't to spam the subscribers of that product with information regarding a bug which is not related to it. thanks all for reporting.
