XFCE's mixer plugin stops at 90% when using scroll wheel over icon

synthead · 2009-04-08 04:38:15

Yeah, title says it. By putting the cursor over the icon and using the scroll wheel, the volume goes up to 90%. But when I open the mixer and drag the master slider, it goes to 100%. How do I fix this?

I didn't know you could even use the scroll wheel on the icon, but now that I do, I see that mine sticks at 90%, too.

(Sorry about the "me too" post.)

Had the same Problem, was really annoying me. Probably a baaad baad bad workaround:

in src/xfce4-mixer-4.6.0/panel-plugin (ABS / xfce4-mixer)
changed xfce-volume-button.c, line 204 & 205:

  /* Create adjustment for the button (from 0.0 to 1.0 in 5% steps) */
  button->adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.05, 0.05, 0.1);

to

  /* Create adjustment for the button (from 0.0 to 1.0 in 5% steps) */
  button->adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (0.0, 0.0, 1.1, 0.05, 0.05, 0.1);

rebuild, done.

I've been searching for a while for the real problem, but I'm no programmer. Looks as if somewhere someone perhaps startet counting at 1% instead of 0% or something, but I've got no idea where.

(useless EDIT: Seems as if someone already fixed it in the newest version available in ABS since I changed it on my machine. Wait, trying...
EDIT: Nope, still only works up to 90% in current ABS version I think - might have just forgotten to re-extract the source of the panel after update. Redoing the "bad fix" got it to 100% again though.)

whoa, sounds good, I'll try it!

I filed a bug to the XFCE upstream too

lol i thought that was deliberate....

so far i'm concerned the old mixer plugin was way more functional
any way to recover it?

I agree, I hated the new one the moment I set my eyes upon it...
Perhaps the old version will just work with the new panel ? You could try that....I don't even use the mixer applet anymore, I just put a launcher for gnome-alsamixer

The mailwatch page says the last version is 1.1.0. The previous version in Arch was 1.0.1 (history here).

The mixer version numbers seem to follow XFCE's versions, so the last "old one" would have been 4.4.3.

_saiko · 2009-04-25 12:30:03

hm... the xfce mixer version 4.4.3 seems to require libxfce4mcs (wich is now replaced by xfconf)
any idea how to bypass that? :\
