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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 547328 ***
