Description Daryl Hamilton 2009-10-17 06:02:59 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 SUSE/3.5.3-3.2 Firefox/3.5.3

In gnome the volume controls on my laptop do not work.  The laptop is a Dell Latitude e6400.  The only way to adjust volume or mute sound is via the software using the built in buttons on the laptop has no affect.  I have not yet tested this in KDE to see if it is the same.  I did boot off of a Opensuse 11.1 gnome live cd and the buttons worked fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.While sound is playing try increasing or decreasing the volume.
2.Try muting the volume
3.
Actual Results:  
The buttons do nothing.  

Expected Results:  
In opensuse 11.1 a speaker picture popped up showing you what level you were putting the volume at or if you muted the volume it displayed a red X thru the speaker.

tested in KDE and the volume control buttons worked fine.  Graphics were not as fancy as I was expecting compared to the rest of the look and feel of KDE but the buttons did work as expected.  So I would say this is a gnome issue.

Same as bug #547328.
