Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux when setting for example left channel to 100% and right channel to 80% to balance sound, this gives a volume of 90%. I then slowly raise or lower the volume for whatever reason using the keyboard shortcuts; I decide to go to either 0% or 100% volume or close to those extremes. I then wish to return to my normal listening at 90% volume, but when I get there it appears the balance is reset with both channels at 90%. This behaviour only occurs when the limit of one of the sliders hit 0 or 100, for example the balance is correct between 20% and 90% volume. Version is 3.8 on KDE 4.6.0 on Suse 11.4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Balance sound with one channel lower than the other. Increase overall volume back to 100% and then back down. Alternatively Balance sound with one channel lower than the other. Decrease overall volume down to 0 and then back up to is original amount (ie 90%) Actual Results: Balance of channels is lost and both will have the same volume Expected Results: Balance is retained with left and right channels having different volumes OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop Compiler: gcc
Actually the balance will not only turn wrong when you hit the top or bottom, but also earlier, as each time both channels change by 5% of the volume range, so for example for a range from 0-100% % 20 -> 25 -> 30 -> 35 -> 40 ... 70 ... % 10 -> 15 -> 20 -> 25 -> 30 ... 60 ... At the start it is 20:10 = 2, at the end it is 70:60 = 1.17 It is not doable with a constant change of 5% of the volume range. More important, when you go to 0%, then both will be 0%. So you will automatically lose balance when you hit 0%. So I cannot do this. It is only possible with an extra balance slider. But there is a wish for that already. I'll merge this with that wish. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 263105 ***
