I use a Compal KLH B0 laptop if I recall correctly. (It's rebranded but great!) It uses a completely standard keyboard where Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 are the volume buttons. This happens with all SDL games I have.
View 2 RepliesI'm running squeeze (last updated today), and everything has been working great. There is only thing that would simplify my life minutely..Anybody know how can I have the volume buttons on my laptop change the "pcm" channel volume rather than "master"? If they could control pcm, then I could adjust the volume coming out of my headphones or my computer speaker (both controlled by pcm, but not master...seems strange to me) with just one click.I tried to find this info online, but all results seem to refer to an older version. The simple "click here, set this" solution no longer is possible.

So if I turn the volume all the way down with the physical buttons, the volume applet may still indicate 75%.I did not have this problem in Debian Lenny. Pressing the volume buttons used to show a volume bar on the screen, as did pressing the mute button.

When I enable pulseaudio I can control the volume with my multimedia keys, volume up, volume down, mute.

also one more thing, those keys are set to shortcuts in the settings->keyboard->shortcut menu.

I just installed Linux Mint XFCE (newly-released Debian Based OS)My Problem is that I cannot get the volume buttons on my keyboard to work. I've done some research and it appears I need to install the "xfce4-volumed" package and I have done so. Still the buttons do not work. I've also tried installing xfce4 and also gstreamer.Nothing has worked.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've run in to one problem which makes me go back to Windows 7,and that's not being able to change my extra mouse buttons to function as volume up and down. I watch a lot of movies and series on my PC, and I use my wireless mouse to control volume and to pause and play. The last 2 are no problem, but I can't seem to find an option to change the function of the extra mouse buttons.I've looked all over the net, and read various forums, they don't have a clear answer or even an idea how to accomplish this. So I turned to this forum, which I should have done in the first place.
View 2 Replies View Relatedoriginally my sounds worked completely, but now I only have sound out of the headphone jack. I used all the OEM software originally, but ended up following this step-by-step guide to run all pulse audio. After installing that I noticed that the sound keys on my laptop still showed that they changed the volume, but didn't have any effect in PulseAudio Volume Control... fixed that by changing the keyboard layout. While that bugged me the sound still came out of my speakers and headphone jack, but just recently the speakers randomly stopped working.

After running my computer for a while, my volume control always messes up. I wonder if it is some app. Mute, raise, lower volume all fail, and so does the little volume icon in my notification area. When the computer boots up things are fine. I can do some more testing later to try and pinpoint the source but I need to wait a few hours for a download to finish. I can still use Advanced Volume Control and all the options there work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI chose -Server-, if this is more appropriate in -Networking-, just let me know. Basically, I need to be able to merge responses stored in a zone file with responses from an "upstream" authoritative server. I'm in the sad position of needing to "intercept" requests to *part* of a domain (but not restricted to a sub-domain!) and return results for *some* hosts that use an internally routed address, and results for the rest using the public internet addresses. Unfortunately, it's not my domain, so I can't just use views (although I suspect they could end up having some part to play in this, at least potentially)... but instead I have to actually send requests recursing to the other site's external DNS for any hosts my server doesn't have records for in the zone file.
Some background on the situation:
I work at a local government, which has a private link / VPN connection to a state government entity, and needs to use internal addresses for some of the state servers, which then get routed over an "internal" network link. But the state uses the same domain name internally and externally, just presenting views to internal clients vs. external clients. -- However, we are only being allowed access to certain of their servers through the internal link, which means that for any other servers that we don't have internal/private access for, we have to visit the public addresses just like anyone else on the internet... So, I can't just send all requests to their internal DNS and get responses, because we'd get IPs for some servers (e.g. their main web site) that we wouldn't then be able to reach using the internal network link.
For Example: Say I have a client machine, "client1", on my network ("my.net"), which uses "mydns1.my.net" for name resolution ... and which needs to access 2 servers on the state network, "private.st.us" and "public.st.us" -- so named based on how "my.net" needs to access them.
The external state DNS server/view ("ext-dns.st.us") responds to requests with something like:
private.st.us -- 1.2.3.456
public.st.us -- 1.2.3.457
(Those are just crap addresses, obviously.
The internal state DNS server/view ("int-dns.st.us") responds to requests with something like:
private.st.us -- 10.0.0.8
public.st.us -- 10.0.0.10
This works on their network because their own clients have access to all such IPs.
But for us, they only allow traffic flowing between "my.net" and their internal network to reach the 10.0.0.8 address, blocking all other address destinations. So, when "client1.my.net" asks "mydns1.my.net" for the address of "public.st.us", I need "mydns1" to recurse out to "ext-dns.st.us" to get an answer (1.2.3.457) and then return that IP to "client1" -- because "my.net" is blocked from accessing the server's 10.0.0.10 address. But, when client1 asks mydns1 for "private.st.us" I need to pull the IP (10.0.0.8) from a local zone file instead of asking either of the state DNS servers -- or optionally forward the request to "int-dns.st.us" I suppose -- because the state blocks access to certain services (which we need and are the whole cause of this problem!) via the public (1.2.3.456) address.
I'm having some issues settings up a transparent proxy server, which should allow only regular web browsing (port 80), any other port (including HTTPS (443)) has to be blocked, as well as any other port. Right now, I'm using Debian 6 and Squid3. The server only has one NIC. The topology is like this:
Clients <-> Proxy Server + DHCP Server <-> Internet
With this setup, the network does have internet access and the websites I whitelisted are the only ones accesible via browser, however port block is not working, every port is open, hence why trying to access blacklisted websites through HTTPS is possible. Seems to me Squid3 is doing it's job fine, however IPTABLES for some reason seems to be redirecting all the trafic to port 3128 (Squid3 port). I could be wrong, but I've been unable to do anything related to ports with squid3 (either whitelisting or blacklisting).
For Iptables I used:
Code:
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp -j REDIRECT --dport 80 --to-port 3128
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP
Squid3 config:
Code:
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 ::1

Is there a way to default volume to 100% in the terminal with gnome-volume-control-applet or any other program? I am setting up a dedicated Zsnes machine which boots into Fluxbox but the volume is muted by default. There isn't a man page for gnome-volume-control-applet.
When I log into Gnome the volume is set to 100%, but Fluxbox is always set to mute.
I've got my xubuntu 10.10 install just about perfect on a little acer aspire d250, apart from a small sound useability issue: In the interests of simplicity and resource usage I removed pulseaudio. After a bit of fiddling I got it so that my USB soundcard (ProDac) is recognized and automatically set as the default soundcard when plugged in. Any sound applications automatically use the USB sound if it present, no need to around with pulse. The only problem is that my netbook's volume control keys still only control the master volume of the inbuilt soundcard, and have no effect on the usb sound. Does anyone know of a way to change which sound device these keys actually effect? I'd like to write a little script so that when the usb device is detected the keys are remapped.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit on an old DFI KT600AL motherboard based system using the onboard VIA 3058 AC97 audio (because it supports front panel audio connections and none of the add-in PCI soundcards I have do). I have an old Gateway/STB TVPCI TV tuner card (mainly wanted the FM radio part to work) hooked up to the cd audio connector on the motherboard because the digital audio over the pci bus apparently isn't supported for this card (neither is the onboard analog mixer on the tv tuner card, I had to hack a CD-ROM audio cable and solder it to the audio outputs of the tv tuner module on the TV tuner card). When I use the master channel as the master channel (selected in Kmix) then as one would expect it affects the output volume of all other audio playing on the system except that which is being handled by the PCM channel. On Windows the PCM channel was also affected by the "Volume Control" slider such that ALL volume levels were reduced when moving the slider. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to make it work like this on Kubuntu.
First off I should warn you that I (like many users of older hardware that is not properly supported under PulseAudio) have uninstalled PulseAudio (because it's garbage) and am using Alsa to manage my audio hardware. I would think that there would be some way to do this using the 'amixer' application to add the PCM channel as a component of the 'Master' channel so that when the volume is turned down using the 'Master' channel control it will affect the PCM channel too (at least the output to the speaker jack, not necessarily the capture or mix volume though), but I'm not really any good at doing things from a terminal window and the options for the amixer command kind of confused me.
I used Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on IMac i7. As far as, I remember, after installing Pulse-Audio Equalizer, for each restart of the system, after login screen, system sets volume to maximum value. What can I do?

I'm using 10.04 now and it runs ok, except one strange thing in the Volume control applet. Sometimes, when I click on the volume slider, it moves up. Even if I try to slide it down, it moves up on every click. The same when I click left of it - it keeps moving up! This is very annoying at night when the music gets loud and wakes everybody. It happens with or without Compiz turned on

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy volume control seems to have only three settings: TOO LOUD, VERY QUIET, OFF. If I adjust the Master volume slider from the Panel, only about the right 1/8th has any effect and if I slide it past about the 95% mark, I get no sound at all. At the far-right end of the volume control, I get total volume. It's basically like the slider only has any impact in the top 5% of it's space. Below 95% of the slide, there is zero volume.
It's so drastic, that one tap down of the volume button on my keyboard kills the sound (because it nudges the slider past that 95% mark). This happens in the Audio settings, etc., system-wide. If I adjust the volume for an individual app from within the app (MPlayer, for example) it behaves exactly as expected (that is, app volume works smoothly, it's just master volume that has this issue). I have run through most of the "obvious" things-- I'm wondering if I broke something by installing the extra KDE packages to get Amarok to work.
