Unfortunately, it turns out that the document I found which appeared to be the EU regulation was not the actual regulation. It was a preparatory document for producing the regulation. (The original document I was pointed to in bug 1370591 was a press release, even further off the mark.)
As a result, the design did not comply with the regulation. This explains Albert's observation here that some handsets show "a notification at 70/80% that doesn't let you increase the volume unless you say 'ok, sure'": that requirement is part of the actual regulation. Complying with the regulation is now tracked in bug 1480912, which has to be private for now because it includes copyrighted attachments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1373404 Title: [notification] No warning of high volume level Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Released Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity-notifications package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu RTM: Fix Released Status in unity-notifications package in Ubuntu RTM: Fix Released Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu RTM: Fix Released Bug description: The EU has a legal requirement for personal music players to prevent hearing damage. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32009D0490&rid=1 ____________ Desired resolution: - For RTM the design spec'ed in the following section of the Sound wiki page should be implemented https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Warnings_.28note:_This_section_should_be_implemented_for_RTM.29 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1373404/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
