[Bug 389178] New: Software unmute fails to unmute hardware mute
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389178 Summary: Software unmute fails to unmute hardware mute Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Mobile Devices AssignedTo: zoz@novell.com ReportedBy: jw@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: behlert@novell.com Blocks: 357354 Found By: --- Lenovo X60s has Mute, Volume_down, Volume_up buttons next to the Escape Key. These three buttons interact badly with software volume control: Press Mute, -> kmix icon shows a crossed out speaker. Audio is muted. Press Mute again, -> kmix icon shows normal speaker, Audio is still muted. Nothing in kmix, realplay, kaffeine can bring back the audio to play. All signals are green, but the audio remains muted. Only pressing Volume_down or Volume_up button restores audio. -- 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.

Therefore it looks like the system is just showing the wrong state after pressing Mute a second time. kmix and friends should somehow show the real state. But I have no idea who is the culprit. What does alsamixer show? -- 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.

One more related issue: Plugging in or drawing the power supply produces a loud beep, even if muted by software. It is silent, if muted by the Mute-Button only. This state-machine needs some work, I suppose. -- 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.

If yes, it's basically bogus to toggle the sound-driver's mute, because the mute is done independently. -- 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.

This explains the continued muting after software unmute. Isn't there any introspection (e.g. VU-Meter tap) how the system could find out, if it is actually playing sound or not? -- 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.

This file contains the current codec information, and is essentially all what the driver cares. If this status is changed, it's a change in the "sound hardware". If it's unchanged but the sound gets actually on/off, it implies that the signal route outside the sound driver is affected (the hardware mute). -- 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.

The amp-out values in x.mute has the bit 0x80. That is the mute register bit. However, x.mute2 has no longer this bit although the sound is still muted. This is weird. So, I suspect it's a hardware mute. I vaguely remember that there is a thinkpad-specific driver that also controls the hardware volume. But, I'm not sure whether X60 is also affected by that. At least, the recent one, X61, has no longer this h/w control path. -- 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.

(1) input events get reported (2) the desktop environment (here: KDE) takes care of the incoming events Juergen, to solve this issue, I'd like to ask you to (1) boot a recent GNOME live CD (2) update your BIOS I advise using the GNOME live CD as this would ensure that there really isn't an issue with KDE.

I now understand the issue. However, I don't think that this is something which is important. Ever since you were required to press either volume up or down in order to unmute a ThinkPad. The only issue we now are facing is that the GUI is not in sync when pressing the mute button in order to unmute the system. Every user who recognizes that the system is not unmuted by pressing the mute button will surely press volume up. Once done, everything is fine again: system is being unmuted in hardware and the GUI is in sync again. As this is not a regression (it was like this before for ages) I am proposing to WONTFIX this issue. If this advice is not being considered as a solution it would require the desktop environments to special case the handling of mute/unmute for older ThinkPads. -- 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.
