Experimenting some more: this isn't specific to rhythmbox, but to all sounds (e.g., the sounds gdm makes on login are also affected)
I verified that I can temporarily fix the problem by rebooting. I haven't found any other way to stop the problem once it's started. I did a suspend/resume after rebooting without triggering the problem. I then did a second suspend/resume, this time while playing an ogg file with the "play" command. This time the problem did occur on resume. I also tried controlling the volume with the volume applet and the master slider on the gnome volume control, and the behavior is the same as when I use the volume keys on the keyboard. -- volume increases uncontrollably on Dell 1420n https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
