It is all related - people don't even realize that this is a system problem. I put a game app in the store and got complaints about not being able to change the volume or mute it.
When the volume down actually works fine - people only see one volume bar and one silent mode switch - when you set both silent mode and pull the volume all the way down, users are blaming apps for playing sound, and now expecting that apps implement controls and settings within apps. I think having the controls reimplemented by each app developer is not ideal, as since the volume levels are allready operating separately in the background - perhaps we could limit the exposure of controls in the drop down to recently heard/active sounds. This would make it easier for the short click sounds some apps use, and the screenhshot sound. Maybe as well a almost 'permisions' style interaction in the system settings if a user really wants to dive deeper. -» Other Sounds -» App Sounds - as well as a toggle so a user can default starting apps out with the volume all the way down till they turn them up - having to worry about quickly hold volume down on any app you open is not the greatest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550558 Title: [enhancement] Sound control panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1550558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
