Hi all,
HP Probook 6475b, Debian 9 (stretch) (MX 17.1 actually), TDE 14.0.5. The
volume buttons will move the onscreen indicator between 0% and 10%, but no
farther, and the volume setting is unaffected. The volume buttons work fine
in XFCE. Any ideas where to look for the problem?
Thanks.

They are set correctly by default. Again, the buttons do respond; the OSD
moves only between 0% and 10%, and doesn't affect volume. For some reason
the events aren't being correctly processed.

How can it be a bug in kmix, when it works fine on all my other machines?
It has to be something unique to this machine, that's not being handled
correctly.

Have you checked the channel mapping - don't know but could be that you are
controlling something else with the keys, if you say that OSD is visible,
but goes from 0-10.

What does it mean "And now ..." after you changed back from PCM to Master -
did you reboot in between, or right after the change it does not work, but
after reboot it does?
I agree perhaps someone needs to have a look at kmix, but for me also
mute/unmute works, however I use most of the packages based on master, but
I don't see anything related to kmix in the git log.
My only audio problem is, when I connect a phone via A2DP, I can not hear
anything, although in pavucontrol I see in the volume indicator. It might
be PA related as well though, but it could be that something is missing in
TDE.

Otherwise i confirm, that initially the behavior

Volume control with the mouse was ok.
I think this is purely a kmix problem. The underlying drivers are ok i think.
For example, i controll amarok just fine with other hardware buttons.

I looked briefly in the code and there are two function "mute"
and "masterMute". It looks like when master is not defined or
present "mute" is used, but I did not have time to look into the detail of
all of this.
Perhaps if you logout and log in again, double check your setting regarding
master channel and try again - it may work. if not reboot and try again, if
not need to look what type of audio card you have and if it is properly
configured at lower level

I - in general - admit that kmix is not perfect, but for me it seems to
mute/unmute w/o issue.
kmix is listed also in dcop, so can you start kdcop and find kmix in the
list, then select Mixer0, expand and execute the toggleMasterMute()
function. Execute second time to unmute.
This way we know if it is the buttons or kmix.
I think Mixer0 should match pulseaudio and should provide the master. Do you
use pulseaudio at all?

kmix may not be perfect, but with perfect setup it should work for you as
well.
I think you should check your setup with pulseaudio and kmix - perhaps after
installing pulseaudio and rebooting, check master channel and shortcut
bindings. I don't know if pulseaudio is required for kmix to work
properly - in my setup it is in use. In theory it shouldn't be required. I
asked only because I see here Mixer0 and Mixer1. Without PA it would be
just one Mixer0. The logic however applies the same way.
If it works in kdcop, it works in kmix (you trigger a kmix function in
kdcop). It looks like kmix does not capture the event.
Mute,Vol.up/down is toggled by XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume,
XF86AudioRaiseVolume. The question is if, when you press mute,Vol. up/down,
those signals are emitted. All of this is pure X. kmix will just react on
those events.
Start xev, press button and check if you see something like below (but I
guess you will see them, because you reported that OSD is visible)
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,
root 0xd2, subw 0x0, time 240395191, (421,-195), root:(450,672),
state 0x10, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume),
same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

state 0x10, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume),
same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
So then make sure the global keys are configured properly in kmix.
if nothing helps, try stopping kmix remove config files, start kmix and

I think master channel is set to the second mixer and it does not change to

New subject: [trinity-users] HP laptop volume keys don't work
Hi Dan,
The volume buttons will move the onscreen indicator
between 0% and 10%, but no
farther, and the volume setting is unaffected.
Is this something that used to work
up until recently and has just stopped? I just found myself in
an identical situation. Until a few days ago I had volume up/down buttons on my Thinkpad
working
correctly, changing the volume between 0% and 100% and triggering an OSD with each change.
The
only non-working thing was the mute button which would mute the sound but pressing it
again
wouldn't unmute all the channels. I had to manually unmute channels in KMix to get the
sound
back. Same problem has been described in this thread by another TDE user.
Starting a few days ago volume up/down buttons no longer work. They will change sound
volume by 5%
up/down but no more than that. They also don't trigger an OSD. Also, mute button now
works
normally - it mutes and unmutes sound without any need to manually unmute the channels.
Since it
looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue I am suspecting a recent set
of Trinity
updates. I have insstalled a larger set of updates on the 12th May. Dan, does this
correlate with
any updates that you may have installed?
Some more background info. I have Pulseaudio on my system. My laptop is a ThinkPad P50
running
latest Debian. I have KMilo plugin installed. According to acpi_listen volume up/down
events are
generated correctly for the buttons, but they don't generate any events in xev. Keys
are however
recognized in TDE applications like KMix or Amarok - I can assign them as global
shortcuts. They
just don't work afterwards. Also, I tried using tpb in hope to get some sort of OSD
but it
doesn't work.
One thing I am tempted to try is uninstalling pulseaudio to see whether it makes any
difference.
Another solution would be capturing key events via acpi and handling them through DCOP.
This
requires hacking a script, which I don't have the time to do in the next three weeks.

At least kmix has not changed in ages, so we rule it out. When you
upgraded,, what else upgraded besides TDE?
kernel, X, etc?
To me it looks like something around X. Luckily it works here well.

It is not clear. When PA is the mixer, did you set the Master channel to PA
as well
Another option is to look at PA itself - pavucontrol. I usually set the
input/output defaults there, as it happens that I do not have sound/mic in
some applications, if mixer/channel is not set default in PA.

perhaps you look if there is an option to the snd module for your

correct profile working, otherwise I don't know what might be wrong at your
end.
I can't recall if you removed the rc files, but if nothing helps there must
be something wrong in the whole chain of tools from the card/driver to
kmix.
Some cards do not report channels properly - might be in your case.
Did you inspect mixer settings with aplay and amixer

No, this is a new Debian installation with Trinity 14.0.5.
Today I downloaded Alexandre's PCLinuxOS with Trinity 14.0.4, and it has the
same problem on this machine, and also on a different laptop. They're both
HP, but different models; but both have the same audio hardware:
00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity HDMI
Audio Controller
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH Azalia
Controller (rev 01)
It looks like this machine will have to use XFCE instead of Trinity.
The volume
buttons will move the onscreen indicator between 0% and 10%, but no
farther, and the volume setting is unaffected.
Is this something that used to
work up until recently and has just stopped?

Dan, have you looked for firmware for your laptop? I suggest using
synaptic and do a search for firmware and drivers and hp and also
laptop, if your using amd search amd firmware or search amd driver or
search amd laptop or search hp laptop or hp driver or hp firmware, etc,
just use synaptic and find what you need.
I'm using 5 different laptops here and all the buttons work on all of
them, I don't use pclinuxos, because I always find hardware it does not
support, but I do use Ubuntu, Debian and Devuan and none have hardware
problems amd or intel no problems. Good Luck.
Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion. You must've missed my original post. The audio
works; it's just the buttons that don't work correctly, and only in Trinity.
Everything works fine in XFCE. So not a firmware issue.

It doesn't appear to be a kmix problem. Kmix works fine; it's only the
volume keys that don't work correctly. I can quit kmix, and the problem
still exists.

In short, that's an internal problem in kmix
redefine the global shortcuts to something else.
That something else will still not work.

anyway, try a different model option if you have such a problem.
Some other models may match better and give you more matching
functionality. If none of the available models works, send a bug
report. See the bug report section for details.

As I have a similar problems with lenovo and dell laptops, I have played around
with your solution.
The model specification does not help in my case.
The dell laptop shows HDMI as first card (but there is no digital output...)
With the following entry in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel enable=0 index=1
the card numbers are swapped and the vol-keys are working.
Thanks

I had this also on one older Dell.
your second line disables something at index 1
you should use if I recall correctly
options snd-hda-intel enable=1,0
but this is not very nice workaround as you can not use hdmi (not a problem
if you don't need it of course)

the volume control is configured in kmix as global keys, so it is not
possible that it works without kmix (I just tested to be sure).
I don't know why it is not working for OP. HE is not showing out put of his
mixer.
It seems his mixer is reporting mappings that are misunderstood by kmix so
kmix binds to channels that are not used or when controlled are reacting
improperly.

You changed the mixer.
On the applet > select Master channel
make sure "current mixer" is pulseaudio
This will revert you back where you where.
unmute broken, but working volume keys.
