I remember a similar bug. The problem was that kmix doesn't unmute the underlying volume elements like "Speaker" and "Headphone" although it mutes these. Is it so in your case, too?
Maybe. At least Kmix only shows the "muted" symbol on _one_ channel only. The master volume can be muted by muting just _one_ of "Master, Front, Surround, Center, FLE, Speaker". It can not be unmuted by clicking the "mute" icon again. The workaround is, as written in the description, to use alsamixer to unmute. Btw. alsamixer only knows of one channel, the master channel. There are no others - like I had in openSUSE 11.4.
OK, so it's a bug in kmix. Reassigned to KDE guys.
I guess it's a bug of kmix. Could you check whether the same problem occurs with alsamixer? Simply run alsamixer, and it'll give only "Master" control. Mute/unmute via 'M' key.
As I already wrote in the description alsamixer is the only way that I found that can restore the sound. Yes, alsamixer can unmute the master channel - the only channel it shows or knows.
alsamixer shows only one channel unless -c0 option or such is given. It's because the pulse plugin is enabled as default. With -c0 (equivalent with -Dhw:0) option, you can access the hardware layer more directly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
