Thinkpad T61 running Gutsy fully updated as of today. Volume keys ( and default applet behavior ) was to change the volume of the microphone.
Right-click + properties on the applet, select PCM device fixed the applet. Unsure how to fix the thinkpad keys though, the following steps did not work for me ( did nothing of note ) : # Select System->Preferences->Sound. # In the "Default Mixer Tracks" section, make sure "PCM" is highlighted. # Close the sound preferences. -- thinkpad volume keys control microphone - gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136287 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
