Xfce4-mixer crash on mouse scroll volume change attempt

Hi,
I have the latest (4.8.0-1) xfce4-mixer plugin installed and it crashes 100% of the time when I try to change the volume by moving the mouse over it and start scrolling. Everything else works as expected.
Any ideas how to make it work?
Thanks.

Hey,
I seem to have the same problem. In /var/log/everything.log I see:
"xfce4-mixer-plu[2354]: segfault at 24 ip 0000000000406553 sp 00007fff8c864640 error 4 in xfce4-mixer-plugin[400000+a000]"
It could be a bug that is only present when debug output is disabled. See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24323
The bug was filed in May 2011, so it could be a different problem. I didn't have time to test it yet cause I'm having exams at the moment, but compiling it with " --enable-debug=minimum" might help.
Good luck

Xfce4-mixer doesn't unmute alsa after setting volume to 0% and back up

Hey guys,
I'm no newbie to Arch, so maybe I just need some cold water in my face because I'm overlooking something obvious.. Yesterday I did a complete re-install from an arch bootstrap script and got everything running just the way I want again - except for one thing.
I am running Xfce as my DE with the xfce4-mixer applet in the tray to control the Master channel's volume using the mouse scroll wheel. This always used to work fine for me. Alsa is up and running and I get sound. The only thing is that when I completely turn down the volume by scrolling down over the speaker icon in the tray (because my phone rings for instance) and then scroll it back up again, alsa somehow seems stuck in mute mode. I have to open a terminal window and use alsamixer each time to unmute the volume again .
This seems like strange behavior on the part of xfce-mixer to me, and it is not something I have encountered before. Anyone have some tips or tricks to fix this weirdness?
Thanks,
welpert

Alas, no luck.. But scrolling up from 'muted' should have the same effect as middle-clicking, at least I assume both actions activate the same unmute function somewhere in the code..
EDIT: For now I'm going to use volwheel. But.. please don't hesitate if you know the answer bacause I like xfce4-mixer's simplicity.

[Solvd]XFCE mixer panel plugin doesn't get updated when volume changed

XFCE audio mixer panel plugin used to show the correct volume when I change the volume either with my Laptop touchbuttons or keyboard volume buttons.
1. To make sure if I am actually changing the volume, I opened alsamixer and tested pressing keys they work fine.
2. I even opened properties option from the indicator and set it to "Master"(the one I use) of my speaker, still no luck.
3. The only problem is the indicator doesnt update when the volume is changed or muted.
But for unknow reason this problem started last week.
Thanks for the help.

Wow, actually it now works for me, too! Amazing!

How to change mouse scrolling direction?

Hi,
I use timeline mouse scrolling (horizontal) and I find it very annoying, that it goes in the wrong direction. I want it to go backwards, if I scroll to me. now it goes in the opposite direction. I couldn`t find it in the kayboard shortcuts, is there a way to change it?
thanks,
Michal

Have you tried reversing your mouse 180 degrees? Then it works fine for you.

Use mouse scroll wheel to change numeric control

Does anyone know if and how I can use the mouse scroll wheel to change numeric control values?

Another option would be to change the timeout. This would avoid the timeout event every ms when the mouse has not "entered" the contol.

Xfce4-mixer failed to start

Hello,
I have installed Arch Linux and XFCE for two weeks now and I'm very excited with this flexible distro. The only issue that i have is the functionality of the xfce4-mixer. I click on the applications-multimedia-audio mixer and while the process be displayed on the task manager, the GUI window won't open. After a reboot the problem may be solved but after another reboot the problem returns.
When I run as a root the command: xfce4-mixer, the output which displayed is:
xfce4-mixer: Failed to initialize xfconf: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
I have nvidia sound card and (on board) hda intel but following the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Xfce4_mixer
I changed the default sound card from settings-editor --> xfce4-mixer replacing the value of sound-card to the PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer
to fucntion correctly with PulseAudio. I executed several reboots and the xfce4-mixer opened correclty. Unfortunately today, the problem returns again.
When I'm trying to kill the process of the xfce4-mixer, I can't.
I tried set the default sound card following the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … sound_card but nothing changed.
The sound and the alsamixer works fine.
How can I fix it ?
Thank you in advance !

Make sure that xfconfd is running.
As a note, xfce4-mixer is no longer being actively developed. From the release notes:
Due to gstreamer1.0 having dropped the mixer-interface entirely, and xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed relying on this interface with gstreamer0.10, our mixer application and volume daemon cannot be ported to 1.0 and are consequently not maintained anymore.
A new pulseaudio mixer plugin has been added to the Xfce git tree - you might want to give that a try. From the readme file:
Xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is a panel plugin for controlling an audio
output volume of the PulseAudio mixer. The volume can be adjusted using
keyboard shortcuts, mouse wheel, a slider in a popup menu (todo), or via
a linked external audio mixer tool.
It works in a manner very similar to xfce4-mixer but more integrated with pulseaudio.

Some other info:
You know that you can control Photoshop input fields http://screencast.com/t/ApVseKYRxz with the mouse scroll wheel. Pretty handy indeed. You just have to click on the field and spin the wheel and values changing.
The problem:
My mouse wheel cannot control the input fields in this way. I select the field, spin the wheel and nothing happen. When I spin it faster a couple of times, than the values get changing - pretty strange ha? Scrolling normally - do not change, scrolling fast change. But to scroll fast is not an option because I cannot change the values slightly with small increments... There is a bug really...
What I tried and didn't work:
1. Restarted Photoshop
2. Plug/Unplug and change different USB slots for both receivers.
3. Reintalling latest SetPoint Drivers (after uninstall I run ccleaner)
4. Put all SetPoint settings to defaults (because I programmed some mouse keys to Photoshop specifically).
5. Install earlier versions of SetPoint drivers.
6. Set my UEFI BIOS to defaults.
7. Restarted the BIOS to load all the drivers again, but still no luck
(the last think I didn't do is to reinstall Photoshop)
What I have investigated so far:
1. When I restart the computer and run Photoshop it works perfect HA! , but after a seconds it do not words again ...
2. When I stop SetPoint software, when I shut down it, it words perfect.
3. When I unplug keyboard receiver it words perfect, but I do not have keyboard:)
4. Everything works perfect in Illustrator and After effects.
5. Also I noticed that when I scroll images in CameraRaw - http://screencast.com/t/xKnn6cY9 the I have to scroll harder and spin the wheel harder to scroll - the same problem.
6. Also in photoshop and bridge scrolling here - is pretty smooth and works perfect - http://screencast.com/t/75IXMG6Zria
Maybe the most important part - When I start experiencing the problem:
I had same configuration , same everything and everything worked fine.
I installed SSD disk, reinstalled Windows (same like before), updated my BIOS to UEFI. Installed Photoshop and SetPoint and problem started.
Posted same request to Logitech, but want to ask you for help too.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I found a solution.
1. Uninstall your current Setpoint Driver.
2. Run CCleaner - http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
3. Download an older version of SetPoint - http://www.oldapps.com/setpoint.php
(I used SetPoint 6.15 (x64), I tried 6.20, 6.32, 6.50 , but no luck)
4. Now everything is all right!
Thanks!
Can somebody mark this as solved? Thanks!

Quod libet keyboard shortcuts/xfce4-mixer

Can someone suggest some keyboard shortcuts, like to increase/decrease volume, forward/rewind, etc.
Also, when I start arch, in xfce4-mixer, headphone and pcm levels are zero by default and I need to increase them on every boot. Is there a way to change their default values.

Xfce4 mixer question

does anyone know how to change the mixer on the panel to use the master volume instead of master1? (or alternatively, i guess, change applications to be volume controlled by master1 instead of master? )
before the latest upgrade i could control overall volume and things like web browser plugin volume, etc. with the indicator on the panel, now i have to actually open the mixer (which kind of defeats the purpose of having the level meter on the panel ). i checked the various ~/.xfce4 config files, but i didn't see anything that assigned that in any of them. i changed the libmixer.so value in xfce4rc to id="0" and id="1" (default seems to be id="-1") but that didn't work. (i'd like to change the icon too, if anyone knows how.)
otherwise xfce4 4.2.0 rocks! icons on the context menu are awesome, and a lot of the interface is much better. kudos to the xfce4 team!

slackhack wrote:does anyone know how to change the mixer on the panel to use the master volume instead of master1? (or alternatively, i guess, change applications to be volume controlled by master1 instead of master? )
mixer on the panel = volume control ?
What is master1 ? I only have Master;0
You can choose "wannabe master" in the properties of volume control item.
You can also mark "useful controls" in sound section of xfce settings manager.
I guess I don't really understand what's your problem with mixer settings (I'm assuming you have xfce4-mixer 4.2.0-1). You can't see
all mixer controls in xfce sound settings and/or mixer (volume control) properties ?

BTW it's now ~/.config/xfce4

You can also try new xfce4-terminal:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=9306
The only problem I'm having with 4.2 is that it now starts on all screens and displays (I have :0.0 (crt) and :0.1 (tv)) and I don't know how to start it only on crt (I don't need it on the tv). The previous version didn't do it. I already modified all settings and I'm using my own .xinitrc (startx). When I remove session manager it still starts xfdesktop on the tv. Anyone knows a solution????

Xfce4 mixer problem

Then i click on Sound Mixer button in Settings window, mixer dont start and settings window crash(or close). If i run xfce4-mixer from console, all windows and panels blinking 2 times and mixer appearing. Please help me, what happens?

Ah shoot. I get that same "message" over and over again too, but it's not related to your problem. I think that's just a GTK widget problem with the panel, trying to resize and fit some stuff I guess. That constant "message" is, however, interfering with seeing what's crashing, since it's scrolling off that VC. I don't know where else xfce4 pipes it's errors to.
I'll check through the source a bit and see if I can help you out.
You could try this for capturing the VC/1 output: "startxfce4 &> /tmp/xfce4.log"
Start up xfce that way, open up a terminal in xfce and use "tail -f /tmp/xfce4.log" (hit ctrl-c to cancel the "tail" process at any time). Try to repeat those steps which give you an error with the settings menu, and watch what reads out in your terminal. If for some reason it crashes, open up that file later and look at the last few lines in the file before it crashed. You'll probably have to scroll down a bit since it will probably pipe all your xinit stuff in there too.

No notification for volume change on XFCE 4.8 with alsa

After clean arch x86_64 install with xfce4.8 desktop i cant get notification when i change volume on my Audigy4 soundcard. I used to have it on my old install and lastes package updates. I know xfce4-notifyd works since it notifies sond cange for example but not volume change either trough alsamicer or xfce4-mixer.

I give up an idea to install all these things from AUR, I downloaded instead packages from launchpad: xfce4-indicator-plugin, indicator-applet, indicator in versions that are oryginally in Xubuntu 11.04.
So compilling libindicator3 from sources just works fine, no problems accured.
But things got complicated when I was trying to install indicator applet, here is output:
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12
x11
libpanelapplet-3.0
indicator >= 0.3.22) were not met:
No package 'libpanelapplet-3.0' found
No package 'indicator' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables APPLET_CFLAGS
and APPLET_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I've installed gnome-panel-3.0 but nothing helped with libpanelapplet-3.0 missing package, and also 'indicator' package is missing.. I don't know how to get it, I've got libindicator3 package installed..
My speculations are that problem accurs becouse Indicator in Xubuntu 11.04 using gtk 2.0 and Arch got gtk 3.0 on board.. But on the other hand whole Xfce 4.8 is gtk 2.0 and It's running both applications on 3.0 & 2.0. If I found a solution I'll post it here. Please post your ideas to solve this problem, I think it might be usefull for some people
EDIT: I've just managed to install libindicator3 and indicator-applet. Still fighting with xfce4-indicator-applet. It says that package 'indicator' is not installed.
EDIT: Finally! I have libindicator 0.3.22 and Xfce4-applet-plugin installed. But when I'm compilling indicator-applet I've got following error:
No package 'libpanelapplet-3.0' found

Why is my magic mouse scrolling backwards?

I've updated to 10.7.3 and now I have to scroll down to scroll up, and up to scroll down. Very weird!
Please help.

Look at the setting in System Preferences > Mouse > Scroll Direction Natural.
Change it for the opposite preference.

How do I get the scroll bar back to the right side of the screen and how do I get the mouse scroll wheel to work again?

Yesterday the scroll bar on Firefox was moved from the right to the left of the screen and the webpages do not scroll when using the mouse scroll wheel.

Reset the pref <b>layout.scrollbar.side</b> to '0' or set to '2' to place the scroll bar at the default right side.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Mouse scrolling in lion problems

I'm using a traditional mouse with a scroll wheel. The mouse scrolling behavior is really odd in Lion and it seems to have something to do with bounce scrolling.
Scrolling in apps like Safari works fine and is very responsive where bounce scrolling is disabled. For apps like Xcode where bounce scrolling is enabled it feels like the the app is "catching up" to scroll movements and it has this acceleration effect. It only seems to happen for me in apps where you are scrolling through text and it just feels sluggish to me.
Everything felt find in Snow Leopard so I'm not sure what changed behind the scenes in Lion. I'd just like it to work the way it did in Snow Leopoard! Thanks for any help you can offer.

It's been moved to System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Trackpad options... button.
Check Scroll with inertia.

Sudden volume change in a region

Hello all--
I am doing a piece that's quite repetitive, using 2-measure regions that I have repeated as needed doing option-drag. On one track, one region, and one only, has a huge volume jump; I'm talking about 10-12 db! I can't find anything to account for it. Velocities are all the same, nothing done in the mixer (though the volume change is registering loud and clear on the fader). Is there something I'm missing? I could dip the fader using automation for this region, but that's a workaround, of course, and besides, since I'm a relative newbie, I'd like to learn something if there's a more "elegant" solution.
Thanks in advance!
later,
John

Hi again--
I fixed the problem with a gentle hint from over on Dave's Logic Pro Help board. I had done a real Stupid Newbie Trick: accidentally dragged one region on top of another identical one, therefore intensifying it! Duhhh... Well, it might be good to have a way of seeing that's happened, since it doesn't show up in any obvious way in the Piano Roll Editor or the Event List. But I'm not excusing myself. Live, admit stupidity, learn... Onward and upward!
later,
John
PS Ben, there are more Tenneys than you might think! In fact, there's another John Tenney (my full name) who's also a musician! (not a professional violinist like me, but still...)
