SOUND ON/OFF Don't work

Well it is not a major problem But when i hit Fn + f8 The sound Icon who apear alway show that sound is off And same for the little sound config shortcut at the bottom right of the screen it alway show the red circle which mean the sound is off But actually My sound work perfectly. Does this Apen to anyone else? How did You Fix It?

By the way My Fn + Up arrow // Down arrow For the sound volume doesn't work too.

 

Just works as it should for me, did you install a different distro or packages which might have broken it?

 

Maybe alsa-OSS and Plugin .. For the rest they don't have anything to do with sound.

 

Anything to do with the kernel or acpi? Those Fn keys depend on that sort of stuff.

 

Mine stopped working in the same way after installing a few KDE packages. I've just started using Kmix for the mixer with khotkeys instead of xhkeys for keyboard shortcuts, and then mapped the appropriate key combos to control Kmix. No pretty OSD, but works fine.

 

Hi,
I'm using Xubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4, and I've managed to fix this by
1. Go to "Applications" -> "Settings: -> "Settings manager" -> "Keyboard" -> tab "Shortcuts" -> click "Add" button -> give some name to new profile
2. see if you have something like:
aumix -v0 | XF86AudioMute OR aumix -v0 | Fn + F8
If you do, skip step 3.
3. Add a new shortcut with same command as in step 4, press OK, and then press Fn + F8 to set the shortcut
4. Double click on "aumix -v0" and type

Code:

amixer sset Master toggle

5. That's for the mute button.

Do similar for the Volume Up and Volume Down.
1. Replace "aumix -v-10" with

Code:

amixer sset Master 5- unmute

(that is for XF86AudioLowerVolume OR Fn + down arrow)
2. Replace "aumix -v+10" with

Code:

amixer sset Master 5+ unmute

(that is for XF86AudioRaiseVolume OR Fn + up arrow)

That's it =). Reboot and it should work now!
