Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux These are actually two bugs together, but I believe they are related. I think it was after git master update sometime last week when the KMix shows its tray icon as always muted, even though the sound is not muted and the mouse tooltip shows correct volume level. Muting/unmuting through KMix or even Alsamixer has no effect, the icon appears all the time as muted. Furthermore the volume control using mouse wheel is also broken - it works on lowering the volume, but scrolling up always sets it right to 5%, no more (scroll down works). It /might/ be my local issue, but I tried removing all kmix configs etc, did not help. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1) Start KMix Actual Results: 1) Muted icon all the time 2) Volume change on mouse wheel up goes straight to 5% Expected Results: 1) Icon reflecting the real state 2) Volume changing by mouse wheel correctly I can provide any additional debug/info you need, just ask :)
I can see the same with git master from last week.

this should find its way into git master

01-kdemultimedia-4.8.0-volstr-fix.patch.gz Already fixed in trunk 02-kdemultimedia-4.8.0-read-capture-volume-fix.patch Just commited to trunk 04-kdemultimedia-4.8.0-aboutToShow-connection-fix.patch I did some changes. As far as I can see I also did the change (new line contains "contextMenuAboutToShow()") 03-kdemultimedia-4.8.0-kmixdockwidget-refreshVolumes-fix.patch I am unsure about this. When does that problem happen? I can change the volume within KMix or with alsamixer and see all volume changes and muting.
Sorry, for the delay.. The issue patch 03-kdemultimedia-4.8.0-kmixdockwidget-refreshVolumes-fix.patch targeted was resolved sometime after v4.8.0 so it not needed anymore. Been quite some time so I can't remember the details.. thanks much, John
Thanks for the feedback. I'll close the bug. By the way, I am currently rewriting KMix's communication infrastructure, and will hopefully not break anything that was just fixed. Currently it is not finished, but if someone is able to test a bit in about a week (trunk version) would be appreciated: http://kmix5.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/more-consistent-gui-and-updates-to-the-soundmenu/

Just post a comment/email me when its ready.
Everything is done, and can be tested. It will also be part of the KDE4.10 beta.
