Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome

This apply more specifically to the Gnome Volume Control applet that is displayed by default near the date&time in the top bar of the Gnome Desktop. The version of this applet is 2.17.90.
The problem is minor and cosmetic only. It occurs after the following sequence of event: suspend & resume.
After, resume the session is locked, when I unlock it using my user password, I get the desktop back. The volume applet shows the sound as muted (whereas it was not in this state before suspend).
However, it is not muted, I can hear sounds.
To come back to normal is pretty easy. A press on the mute sound special key of my keyboard and the sound is now really muted (the display stay unchanged). A second pressure on the same key brings back the sound to not muted and the display is then correct.
This bug is reported after the test performed on Dell Latitude D600 (cf. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellLatitudeD600)

Thanks for your bug report.
I think this is a dup of another bug - maybe upstream.

As a drawing is worth a thousand words, I have attached here a screenshot (actually an assembly of several screenshots) showing before and after the suspend/resume events with a small snapshot of the power history of the Gnome Power Manager.
You shall notice that eventhough in the "after state" the sound is displayed as mute, it is not. So it is only a "display bug", the system works as expected.

Hello Daniel,
By upstream, do you mean Gnome? Because, I have tried to check on the Gnome bugzilla for a similar bug but I did not find one. (cf. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gnome-applets&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&component=mixer)
Shall I report this bug to Gnome instead of Ubuntu?
Regards,

does alsamixer lists it as mixer as well? if you have an account to the GNOME bugzilla it might be useful to open a bug there

I have launched the command alsamixer, but I am unsure of what you mean by if it is listed or not.
What I can see is:

Under Gnome in the top "bar", I have a small icon for the sound. On mouse over, it states "Master: 22%"

Under Gnome, in the Sound preferences window, I see "Device: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa mixer)"

Under alsamixer, I see: "Card: Intel 82801DB-ICH4" and there is one control for a "Master" which is on 23<>23

I have a Gnome bugzilla account and I will report this bug there.

I don't know launchpad really well. So I did not know if I should have use the "Also affects upstream" functionnality or not.
So here I give the reported problem in the Gnome system : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418510 (#418510)

you can use the upstream task feature so the launchpad bug will get notifications when the bugzilla status is updated

Oops, I did not test the bug since the last Gnome update (now 2.18.0), and it seems to be corrected. So I have closed the bug on Gnome Bugzilla (I should have test it again before opening actually... lesson learned!)
If the bug still exists, I cannot reproduce it :-( So let's hope it is corrected.
