Acer volume slider Q

http://crunchbanglinux.org – First of all I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find any topic on this specific issue after searching around.I got a acer aspire 8730G. It got a few shiny media keys with background light and a volume slider. Setting up most of those keys were no problem since they use the normal XF86Audio keys signals. When setting XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume to raise and lower the volume the volume jumped around seemingly at random when using the volume slider.I used xev to see what was going on and it turns out that the volume slider sends both XF86AudioLower (HowTos)

Hi,

I just got an old Trust surround USB Headset to work on Ubuntu 11.10. However, the volume controls are bugged. Touching a slider in the taskbar or banshee in any way (even sliding it to the lower end) would set the volume to about 5000%. This usually causes me to jank the headset right off my head.

There is no gradient whatsoever in the slider.

How do you maximize sound volume in Gnome Shell under Ubuntu 11.10?

I have a Macbook, and my sound and volume keys generally work, but even if I use the volume keys to set volume to 100%, the sound is very low. However, if I open the Sound dialog, the "Output Volume" slider goes up to 150%, which allows me to comfortably hear sound.

Hey all,When i try to adjust the volume, my sound is completely silent until about 3/4 the way through the volume slider.  In that upper 1/4 of the volume slider, there is only coarse adjustment from very quiet to max volume.I know it's an arch/linux issue, because it doesn't happen in Windows on the same machine, and it was there before I reinstalled from scratch last week (not for

When I go to Settings / Sound / Volume I see 4 sliders (Incoming Call Volume, Media Volume, System Volume, Notification Volume). For 3 of the 4, when I move the slider I hear a sample of the volume as expected. But for the system volume slider, when I move it I hear nothing at all.

My laptop's media keys (volume up/down/mute) are detected via xev and showkey. I can go into System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts and set the volume controls with the media keys. However when I try to use the keys they do not function properly.

I tried setting the keys and rebooting the system but that hasn't worked. Any ideas?

I'm trying to set fn-F10 to mute the volume, fn-F11 to lower the volume, and fn-F12 to raise it (this is what's printed on the keys) but I'm having problems.I'm using LXDE and openbox, but I have xfdesktop (if that affects anything).First of all, these keys don't "just work".I can set fn-F10 to output "f": $(xmodmap -e 'keycode 121 = F') and I

I used to have a nice sleek-looking linear popup volume slider bar like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/DRBYY.png. Now I have a pixelly volume slider box whenever I change the volume on my keyboard: http://i.stack.imgur.com/mXva7.png How do I change my popup volume bar back to what it used to be?

I've been having a problem recently where I haven't been getting any sound alerts for receiving text messages and I finally figured out why: The notifications volume is tied with media volume, which I usually keep muted when I don't have headphones plugged in. Is there any way to change this?
