Hi Stephen, if your Plantronics headset is anything like my Logitech one, it presents itself to the system as both a sound device and a keyboard device. When I press the volume buttons on the headset, it generates volume up/down keyboard events.
Probably the easiest way to test this is to pick System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, click on one of the actions and then press the volume up or down buttons on the headset. If that registers as XF86AudioLowerVolume/RaiseVolume, then your headset is probably like mine. In that case, the underlying problem is that the volume up/down keypresses from the real keyboard are not being distinguished from those of the headset. Fixing this would require: 1. detecting which keyboard the volume up/down keypress came from. 2. associating keyboards with pulseaudio devices 3. update the correct mixer. -- gnome-volume-control: USB headset volume buttons affect laptop speakers, not headset speakers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
