Volume Hotkeys Flaky When Playing

Postby Bill_MI » 21 Apr 2012 14:54

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.
