Description Ondrej Machulda 2012-01-27 18:10:12 UTC 
Created attachment 68247 [details]
The percent should read 0 when muted.

Version:           4 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

When volume is muted, the OSD volume control should read "0%" instead of just changing the icon (which is also hard to recognize - see bug #292616)

Event though technically the volume value doesn't change when muting (just the mute flag is switched), the output from users point of view does, so this would be much more user friendly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mute or unmute volume
2. KMix OSD is shown
3. The volume percent value is not changed when muting/unmuting - see attachment


Expected Results:  
When volume is muted, the volume percent should be "0%". When it is unmuted, the original value should be restored.

Confirming this on KMix 4.1 using KDE 4.8.5.

SOLUTION - When muted, volume should be set to zero everywhere (dbus, OSD, KMix, etc) but its last value rememberd and restored on future unmuting action.

I agree that it should be consistent in all GUI parts. But DBUS should return real values, as otherwise DBUS clients might work wrong, e.g. when implementing something like "volume-up-unmutes-sound".
