Bug Description
Today I installed a Asus Xonar D2X in my system. Changing the volume by using the scroll wheel of the mouse on the volume icon in the top bar changes the sound the way it should.
I've got a keyboard with hotkeys for changing the volume (The Tux Keyboard from Zareason). When I mouse over the volume icon in the top bar, I can see the volume is at 100%. Now I press the XF86AudioLowerV
Now I press the XF86AudioRaiseV
Well, it's a much easier to explain when using screenshots (see attachment):
1) The volume is at 100% for all channels;
2) I press the XF86AudioLowerV
3) Pressing the XF86AudioRaiseV
4) Scrolling up one time raises the average volume of all channels to 30% (the volume of the front speakers fall back from 100% to 30%, while the other channels are raised from 0% to 30%).
Now I can scroll back to 100% for all channels.
