I have the same problem on my Packard Bell dot s with Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) and KDE 4..11.3. KMix always mutes only one channel, so something is either in the hardware or driver. As a first diagnostics: Please quit KMix (Open main window and press CTRL-q), and try again. Does still something get muted now when you press the key? If yes, then it is probably wired to the hardware. On my netbook I found that autostarted KMix (after loading of KDE ) have controls that works with my sound card (master, headphones, speaker, mic, etc.). Muting works wrong with them. But if I restart KMix then controls changes: controls for my soundcard are disappearing and PulseAudio's controls appears. Muting works correct here. Created attachment 84123 [details]

If yes, then it is probably wired to the hardware. Fixes the problem for me. (In reply to comment #3) > But if I restart KMix then controls changes: controls for my soundcard are disappearing and PulseAudio's controls appears. Not for me. All the channels come up like they always do. @Max Michels: What exactly did you mean with "Fixes the problem for me."? Does the correct channel get muted (and umuted) after quitting KMix and pressing the key?

Yes, kmix works properly after I restarted it, i.e. the correct channel gets muted and unmuted. Thanks for the hint. Seems to have something to do with the audio setup during the startup of KDE. The screenshots are very interesting: After Login/Autostart we have ALSA, and after restarting KMix we have Pulseaudio. Not sure why this would happen - I will reassign this to the PulseAudio component, as it looks be a PA detection/start problem. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I don't have a KDE setup at the moment. Unless somebody else confirms this is still a bug, feel free to close. Thanks! Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! As shown by the screenshots and comment 9, this appears to be a "startup or reconnect to PulseAudio not working" problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 318986 *** |
