volume: cannot change in some applications
I have a strange situation regarding volume. User cannot change the
volume with certain applications, but they can with others. For
example, users can change the volume with gmix, but not with the gnome
mixer applet. Also, users can change the volume with realplayer, but
not with freeamp. My user account is a member of the "audio" group, and
here is what /dev/mixer looks like:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Mar 5 14:18 /dev/mixer
This seems like strange behavior. If it were more consistent, I
wouldn't think it is so strange. But it seems like gmix and the gnome
mixer applet should behave similarly. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks.
