[ubuntu] Dell Bluetooth keyboard volume knob not "fading" volume

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. When I turn the knob I see the volume adjusting on the screen, but nothing happen to the actual volume. That is until the very last "on-screen notch"...it'll then turn the sound off. Again...I hope this makes sense. Any thoughts? Thanks Rick (Hardware)

I have a Turtle Beach PX3.  It's a USB wireless headset.  I got the sound working and everything and I can control the volume through the XFCE mixer or the ALSA mixer but I would like to be able to use the physical knob.  On Windows 7, it just sends a signal to bump up the volume in the software mixer much like the volume controls on a keyboard would.  For the short time I

I have Ubuntu 9.10, and a Dell SK-8135 USB Keyboard. When I press certain keys, all sound will stop, the screen will go black for a second or so, and then it will go to the login screen. Initially, during the period of black, it would show like a fullscreen console, with jacob@jacob-desktop$ and stuff, but now it just flashes black.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, and I'm not getting any sound from my Toshiba Satellite P100's internal speakers. I have an Intel NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller, and it's recognized by the system when I type lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" into the CLI. My sound card is also listed in the Ubuntu sound card matrix, so it should be supported.

[ubuntu] No Low Volumes 1 year 2 days ago

I recently installed a clean copy of 12.04. So far everything has worked reasonably well, but I have a problem with the volume. Unless I have the volume at 1/4, or above I don't get any sound. Above that the sound control is quite precise, but If I want the volume to be any lower (which I often do), I have to adjust the volume on the individual application I am using.

Hello all,Before you lambaste me, I've done a fair bit of research on this and have been able to find little. Of course, I may have missed it.So I have #! 11 64-bit on a Dell Latitude E6410. Seems to be running well I have pretty much everything working with the exception of the keyboard audio controls.

Hi all,

This is my first post :-)

Before logging in, I am able to adjust the volume. However once logged in, it does not work.

I installed the latest set of F16 updates (including a kernel update) and rebooted this morning, to find that the volume keys on the keyboard now don't work.

They are recognized as keys - if I go to the keyboard settings and shortcuts, I can select the shortcut for "Volume down" and press the volume down key, and it shows up.

How can I set the volume keys and sound indicator to change only the master volume? Now when i change the volume from 0 to 100%, using the keyboard or the sound indicator, first I change the PCM level (master remains at ~0%) and then the master level (PCM remains at ~80%) and then the PCM level again for a bit, resulting in a non linear volume increase. The issue apeared when I first installed Ubu
