The VideoLAN Forums

The volume hotkeys (default is Ctrl+Up/DnArrow) is flaky as can be. It happens ONLY when something is playing but not when idle. The setting bounces around randomly. Anyone else seeing this?

This is my first look at VLC 2.0.0 in Linux Mint Debian with Update Pack 4. Otherwise, it's looking pretty good.

EDIT: Found a likely related symptom. Hotkey "M" (mute) mutes ok but also, randomly, changes the volume setting.

Looks like 2.0.1, as seen in Xubuntu 12.04, has solved this.

I'm having the same problem on LinuxMint Debian Edition
VLC 2.0.0

hard to set the volume using either hotkeys or mouse, the volume bar is skippy and random

This was fixed in VLC 2.0.2.
