Hello
I have some issues with the extensions replacing the volume key's default actions.
Basically what happens is that the volume down key runs the extension, with the popup showing the volume % and a bar with values possibly over 100%, and when I press the volume up key I got the default gnome behaviour with the volume not being able to go over 100% and the anoying update sound

I guess the issue is with GSD's hotkeys not boing grabed. Is this issue known ? Is there any fix ?

Hello,

GNOME 3.18 has been released and many people already use it. Could you please update your extension at extensions.gnome.org to support this new GNOME version?

Thanks!

Components should rather listen to changes to settings and reload / parse.

It's very convenient in some situations to switch input together with output.
For example if you want to use a headset, especially if there're options like:

1. Simple wired headset (plugged into audio jack)
2. USB headset

Probably this feature could be enabled through extension configuration because some people may have different usage scenario - for example have one and only microphone and switching from headphones to say HDMI output.

I tried installing in Fedora 25 and it seems like gnome-shell 3.22 (3.21 atm) is not supported.

somebody likes, when apps and devices has their own icons, some one preffers it'll be just dynamics and microphones signs/ possibility to choose will be great.

When i try to install the extension (via gnome-tweak-tool ) :

INFO : Extracted zip to /tmp/tmp6sqlBn/, copied to /home/roumano/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

With volume boost activated OSD shows confusing behaviour with levels above 100%.

I usually change volume with mouse through easystroke (pressing right mouse button and scrolling one unit sends VolumeUp or VolumeDown (Fn combination keys). Because this happens usually very fast, when I use Volume Boost, the OSD goes at first wider than the resize reaches the final state (your settings I think). Sometimes it doesn't get to your dimensions on width and so they remain while changing the volume and until after the volume OSD dissapears.
PS: the problem is on width!

Hi, I opened an issue a while ago about the fact that every other boot the Volume Boost option would be disabled and I would need to go the extensions' settings and toggle it off and on again for it to work.

You answered that it was a bug that couldn't be fixed, which is fair enough, but it would go a great deal to reduce the impact of the issue there was an option to have the Volume Boost toggle directly in the tray, beneath the volume sliders. It could be fixed in two or three clicks of a mouse instead of the tedious process of going in the Tweak Tool, to the extensions tab, to the Volume Mixer settings and then back.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I know that the recent commit requires that libgnome-volume-control is patched to support "stream-changed" event.
The commit message says that it is fixed in Gnome 3.20, but I have it installed (ArchLinux) and yet see this error message (%subj) in the gnome shell debugger.

I only see the configured output; I'd like to switch between analog and digital outlets on the same on-board sound card.

I would like them to be hidden, because switching to them does not work obviously.

After latest commits main applet slider shrank and doesn't look too good now. Screenshot is attached

I am using gnome shell version 3.18. It looked normal before updating applet

The custom volume step applies to the volume slider and to multimedia keys, but it does not apply to scrolling the wheel over the speaker icon in top right corner - that still scrolls 10% up or down, regardless of the setting.

It seems the collapsable mixer part (the one that's clickable and shows you the different output sinks) has a hardcoded width that matches the default theme. On many other themes, the control is either longer or shorter than all other controls in the status menu. Such themes include Arc and Adapta. This is with gnome 3.20

That's what I got out of journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat.
If you need somthing from me, just ask.

GNOME Shell started at Fri Apr 29 2016 18:18:52 GMT+0200 (CEST)

Needs a few error handling routines in case either the Python script failed or was unable to get any cards / profiles.

Could show an error dialog in preferences.

Looking glass says "Error: invalid element in string array".
I don't know how to help more :)

It happens to me that sometimes that volume down button gets unbound from volume-mixer and is handled by gnome-settings-daemon instead. That means that instead of lowering the volume by my configured amount (2%), it lowers it by default 6%, and emits a 'blop' sound on change. But volume up button is still handled by volume-mixer.

IIRC, this always affects just volume down, never volume up. Weird.

I have no idea how to reproduce it, it seems to occur randomly. It doesn't seem directly related to e.g. system start, resume or the like.

Do you have any idea what could be the cause and what to watch out for next time, so that we can find out what causes it?

I have the latest version from extensions.gnome.org for GNOME 3.14. I'm unsure how to find out the extension version. tweak-tools prints into terminal:

Apr 25 10:25:00 titan gnome-tweak-tool.desktop[4760]: INFO    : e.g.o no updates for [email protected] (shell version 3.14.4 extension version unknown)

I like having the volume mixer in the status menu, but since I usually have firefox open with a large number of tabs, with some of those tabs containing youtube videos, I get a lot of sliders named "CubebUtils | AudioStream". Since I also use the media player indicator extension, this can cause the power button at the bottom of the menu to go outside the screen boundary. This also causes the device selection menu to not expand correctly when clicked. While this should probably be addressed in gnome, it would be nice if we could have some kind of blacklisting capability to suppress (or collapse into a menu) sliders we don't need.

as per screenshot, the volume slider, when integrated in the system menu, expands beyond the dropdown menu. (screenshot taken from a multi-monitor setup, by single monitor the slider expands beyond the screen border)

I'm not sure if this is something the extension has any control over or if it's an issue with gnome itself, but when you change output devices via the little dropdown provided by this extension, the volume indicator in the panel isn't updated, it still shows the volume of the previous device.

Before:

After:

When trying to use pulseaudio-equalizer or pulseaudio-qpaeq (fftw equalizer) and when using turbo boost and/or changing volume step from default value (6) mixer does not show.

I would love if there where an slide for the system sounds so you can easily change or mute them.

MineyMe: Is it possible to not have detailed sliders and still have application icons? They seem to change into the generic volume icon whenever I disable detailed information.

Arch Linux recently updated their Gnome-shell to 3.20 and broke this extension.

In unpatched gnome-shell, mouse wheel up moves the volume slider right (increases volume), mouse wheel down moves the volume slider left (decreases volume). With Volume Mixer extension, the directions are swapped, which is somewhat confusing.

It'd be nice if there was an option to show all applications in a foldable menu, when controls are shown in the system menu. Just like gnome does it with the other options in this menu.

When I press the volume up or volume down buttons on my keyboard, or when I scroll the mouse wheel up and down on the speaker icon or above the volume slider, the volume increases/decreases by 10%. I find that adjustment to be too large. If I want to make my music, video or a game just a bit louder or quieter, 10% change is too much, and suddenly it is too loud or too quiet. So usually I need to use the mouse cursor, open the user menu, and drag the slider a bit to the right or the left, to adjust the volume in a smaller step. That quickly becomes tiring.

Could you please add a new configuration option that would override the amount of volume adjustment? Instead of 10%, I would configure e.g. 5% or 3% step. I would have to press my buttons or scroll the wheel more, but it would be much easier for me to fine-tune exactly the volume that I want.

Ideally it should affect all parts of gnome-shell - the multimedia keys, scrolling over the speaker icon, and scrolling over the volume slider. (The multimedia keys would be the most important for me).

Thanks in advance!

I'm using different than the default shell theme. In my case the theme is Flat-Plat, which is light instead of the default dark theme.
The problem is that you are not using both background color and the text color from currently active shell theme. You are setting:
$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/stylesheet.css

.floating-label {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);
}

But the default text color for my light theme (Flat-Plat) is black too, so I end up with black floating label on black background.

My initial workaround was to set rgba(250, 250, 250, 0.9) but that will work only for me, then I decided to totally remove the .floating-label class!

The best approach is to use both (text and background) colors - the default for the theme or to overwrite them in your stylesheet.css (if you can't make it work).

AngryBee:
can you include scrolling-over-indicator functionality like here, please https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/759/better-volume-indicator/ ?

Hello,

As show in the attached screenshot, the volume slider expands beyond the edge of the menu (and outside the screen actually).

Running Gnome 3.14.1 on Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64-bit.
Gnome-shell-volume-mixer is latest version from extensions.gnome.org

Hope this helps!

Thanks

axel

In pavucontrol it is possible to move output for each individual application to different sinks.

Please consider adding this feature.

when I rolling scroll wheel up - volume goes down

Hello,

The Gnome sound properties for PulseAudio allows overboosting of volume to 150%. Could you please make this extension also support 150% volume?

Thanks a lot!

Hey
I know it's not released yet, but still as a heads up: the extension breaks on gnome-shell 3.16 (3.15.91 to be precise) with the following error in looking-glass:
TypeError: Shell.KeyBindingMode is undefined

We need to copy default behavior of GS.
For now it is impossible to set up sound using touchpad scroll on sound icon.

I use Rhythmbox along with two Gnome Shell Extensions - Media Player Indicator and Volume Mixer. Please note that I am running on Debian Jessie RC1 with Gnome Shell 3.14.1 and searching for usability bugs. In the area where Volume Mixer shows a slider for Rhythmbox it states the name of current song being played. Very nice. However, it does not update. Whenever I use Rhythmbox, Volume Mixer keeps indicating the first song I played. One thing to note is that the Media Player Indicator does update correctly. Also, I have the MediaServer2 D-Bus interface & the MPRIS D-Bus interface plugins for Rhythmbox enabled. All other plugins are disabled. Thank you for all you do.

When highlighting the active sound device in the menu it's possible to open a list of available sound devices by pressing “Enter”. There should be an ability to close the list by pressing “Enter” again.

Hi,

I would like a option to change device name

for exemple, i have enable 3 differents output

• via hdmi (speaker of the screen)
• via my sound blaster and optical output to my hifi
• via usb earphone

I'm a geek, so i'm easy known/understand/remenber Sound Blaster is for hifi, hdmi for output to the screen , ...

but for my wife or someelse it's much more complex for them to understand

So i would like a option to be able to rename output device.

I miss an function to easily mute/unmute single applications to do that it would be grate to have an switch before/behind the slide.

I have to go in extensions settings and uncheck/recheck the corresponding box for it to work again. It happened every once in a while in Gnome 3.16 on Ubuntu 15.10, but now it's after every logout.

See #7

When switching from one profile to another, it's also desirable to allow profiles with inputs (typically, "Bullt-in audio => Analog Stereo Duplex", as seen for example in pavucontrol. Currently, the profiles with inputs are not listed so the user can't switch from a "full profile" (with output AND input) to another.

In details: I have a personal setup where I "see" 4 audio devices: one builtin on motherboard (input+output), a webcam (in+out), one HDMI (output only) and finally another pro sound card (SB audigy) with complex input+output (5.1,7.1 etc.). I'd be overhappy if I could switch from a video conference setup (with very specific input + outputs) to another one for common usage (no input, usual output on speakers).

My config: OpenSUSE 42-beta1, Gnome 3.16.2

In the snapshot below, compare the listed profiles for SB Audigy between volume manager panel and pavucontrol.

BTW, great work on this extension. Really useful ! Many thanks.

When I activate volume boost in the volume mixer settings, the OSD correctly shows and allows volume up to 153%. After some time (not sure if its a suspend or hibernate thing), the volume control reverts to the non overboosted control.

The only way to get it back is to go into the volume mixer settings, flip the switch to shut off overboost, then flip it back on, and the OSD and volume control will go back to allowing overboost.

karatedebili:
would it be possible to implement a shortcut on the keyboard to toggle output between soundcards?

in https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/212/advanced-volume-mixer/ when you change global soundcard's volume - app volume indication volume indication didn't change.

I love this extension and I'm using it since I use the GNOME Shell and I also had and strange echo in TeamSpeak since these days. Today I was able to find out that if I deactivate this extension with the tweak tool the echo goes away and if I reactivate it the echo will be back …

The echo is like if there is a loop back between the out- and the input. For example like if I would connect the output cable with the mic input, so my TeamSpeak buddies will hear all my sounds like music, game or error sounds and of course they will get annoyed.

If you need further informations feel free to ask ...
