Running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Dell Latitude D830. Also running a Dell BT keyboard without USB dongle (because laptop has BT built-in). This used to work then suddenly stopped. The volume knob used to allow me to incremently adjust the volume. Now it's either on or off (the sound that is, via the knob on the keyboard). Hoping this makes sense.
Up.Still don't know the solution to this, but things has changed a bit. Now it's my M-Audio USB sound card's controllers that move in the mixer when adjusting volume in the keyboard. I don't know why that is... I did play with the mixer, but...
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.
I just installed Xubuntu 12.04 lts. I managed to get my keyboards volume keys working properly by going into settings manager and then xfce4-mixer. I changed the active card to get the speaker volume working through the controls. Unfortunately, the icon for volume on the bar at the top does not update accordingly, or at all.
Just installed F12 and noticed that the volume control applet is now all Pulseaudio rubbish, not Alsa like gmixer used to be.
So now I don't seem to be able to mute my speakers when I'm using my headset, which in F10 I could do by just muting LFE/Center.
Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue. I ended up installing alsa, alsa-oss, and pulseaudio-alsa, and then configuring them with an Alsa Mixer (in this case xfce4-mixer, but there are others) and Pulseaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol). In Pulseaudio Volume Control, I disabled 'HD-Audio Generic', as it is for the HDMI output of my graphics card, and set 
I just purchased a Logitech G930 Headset that has stereo surround and a microphone. Slackware version 13.0 with KDE4 works with the volume control on the headset but Slackware current does not.
if you are annoyed that the volume scale gets unbearably loud very quickly1. edit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common[Element PCM]
switch = mute
volume = mergechange to[Element PCM]
switch = mute
volume = ignore2. restart3. open xfce4-mixer and set PCM to a level comfortable for you4. enjoy sanity
Hello, I have more than one USB headset. I don't know how to set the volume control or download a different mixer so that I can get it to recognize it. I also downloaded pulseaudio. There was another post that solved the problem, but it didn't solve it for me. I did what was suggested. Here is the post.http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … t-to-work/
