Description Yuri 2011-10-25 17:56:59 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                FreeBSD

This happens after the recent kde upgrade to 4.7.2
"mute" checkbox doesn't do anything (and I have to use other mixer app), before update it worked.

This may or may not be related to this PR https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223460 , since it is also about OSS mixer (capture flag there) and it was recently labeled as "fix pending 4.8". Maybe 4.7 was accidentally touched?

When Mic or PCM are enabled, clicking "mute" actually mutes them but icon doesn't update to the red cross as it should. Clicking again unmutes it.

Comment 2 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2011-10-26 16:46:10 UTC

Curiously enough, when I click the "mute" icon here the slider goes down to 0 and the icon changes, but the sound is not muted at all (with pulseaudio 0.9.21 and phonon-vlc).

Comment 3 Yuri 2011-10-26 17:48:31 UTC

It means for you it malfunctions differently.

pulseaudio-0.9.22_1
FreeBSD sound driver snd_es137x.ko

Comment 4 Alberto Villa 2011-10-26 18:48:04 UTC

I personally backported several lines of code from master to 4.7.2, and they appeared fine. Before investigating further into this issue, please, give me the time to check if it's due to the backport.

Comment 5 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2011-10-26 18:52:19 UTC

At least the problem I described in comment #2 is unrelated, as I run KDE directly from trunk/master.

Comment 6 Yuri 2011-12-02 23:41:00 UTC

4.7.3 from FreeBSD ports still has this issue.

Comment 7 Christian Esken 2011-12-13 22:33:42 UTC

Yes, this is a duplicate.
And it is definitely only fixed in KDE4.8. Fixing it for KDE4.7 is not possible, the changes are simply way too big. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223460#13
