Re: Laptop volume control screw-up

what are "friends" (of Ubuntu) for?
We all have been down that road, from time to time!!!

Just so you know, just yesterday I was reinstaling my machine from a
Feisty Herd4 to a Gutsy Tribe 3 (30-07-2007), and got and trivial
error:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/129122
Was it not thanks to a friend (www.linuxkafe.com), I would never figured it out.

Hi Harry.
I hope I'm still on time to try to help you.
Right click on the sound icon, next to the hour/date panel.
Choose "Preferences", and select your sound card device (probably Alsa).
Then choose "Master". I think that you might have choosen another control, and
thats why it aint working.
Let us know how it goes.

All has been well with Ubuntu Feisty release until I apparently
inadvertently fouled up the laptop volume control - how I do not know.
In any event I still get the on-screen display depicting volume control
when I press the appropriate button; ie, "mute", "volume increase", or
"volume decrease". The downside is the sound is now unaffected. I can
still point to the panel which displays the volume symbol with the mouse
and everything is correctly controlled. I have done the usual looking
for an "accidentally installed" mixer, but the only one I can find is
the one for Gnome - which is correct. Can anyone suggest how I can
isolate this problem. It's trivial but annoying!

Thanks in advance,

Harry

Thank you very much for the response - that was the problem! Although it
was a minor inconvenience, it was very annoying and I had overlooked the
obvious solution. Again thanks for your time and assistance.
