Description Patrick Rutka 2003-07-19 23:11:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

sound for system notification doesn't work if paramter of volume doesn't be at max. It's only work when the volume paramater in the kcontrol module is a t max...  small bug .. ;-)
Comment 1 Daniel Molkentin 2003-10-27 15:48:16 UTC
Works just fine here and for others I asked. Might be a problem with your hardware or a distribution issue.
Comment 2 Marcin Gil 2005-03-02 20:03:59 UTC
I can confirm the bug in 3.4rc1. This has been confirmed by another user in
this Gentoo Forum thread : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-302625.html.

My hardware: Audigy Gamer (emu10k1)
Comment 3 Joonas Koivunen 2005-03-17 14:20:51 UTC
Doesn't work either for less than two days old CVS!

My sound output is through alsa drivers for via on-board chip..
Comment 4 James Ots 2005-03-21 10:53:56 UTC
I am seeing the same behaviour on KDE 3.4, SuSE RPMs.

Just to make it clearer: The volume that must be set to 100% is the one in the Player Settings dialog in the System Notifications control centre module.

Could someone with a thicker skin than I reopen this bug?
Comment 5 Hugo Costelha 2005-03-21 13:14:23 UTC
Same here, also using SuSE RPMs and KDE 3.4. I even recompiled arts, but to no avail.
Comment 6 John C Borkowski III 2005-03-23 16:22:08 UTC
Same here on Gentoo... see above mentioned thread.
Comment 7 Alexander Malashenko 2005-03-26 23:54:20 UTC
I have the same problem with any volume. There are only sounds for k3b!
I recompiled the all KDE packages myself from the source on FC3.

Ok, I can see enough evidence that this bug still exists - reopening.

Hello !

I looked into the code segment in kdelibs/arts/knotify/knotify.cpp which connects the soundsource to a volume control if volume != 100%. I compared it with similar code in juk/alsaplayer, changed knotify.cpp to look similar than that and - voila! - it works ! (at least for me). I will attach a patch (it will apply for 3.4-branch and trunk).

Please test it, and if it's okay, commit it. (IMHO it should be commited in branch and trunk as well).

thx,
Thomas Schwarzgruber
