Description maximlevitsky 2009-08-16 20:15:19 UTC
use libcanberra 0.15, and compiled its PA backend.
All notification sounds are played in right speaker only, and pavucontrol correctly reflects on this by showing briefly the volume of player even and only one slider called 'front right'

Alsa backend of libcanberra works fine.

I am not sure if sounds that are played are mono or stereo.
At least their location suggest that they are stereo.
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/

I cannot reproduce this here. 

Could you please try the following:

$ canberra-gtk-play --id=login &
$ pacmd ls > log

And then please send me the log file that was generated.

This will play an event sound and while it is playing get the current server status which should tell us a little about the volume settings and stuff.

Hmm, what I can reproduce is that mono files are reproduced on the left channel only. This is now fixed in git.

Now you say it's the right channel for you and on *all* event sounds? Could you verify that?
Comment 3 maximlevitsky 2009-08-27 08:55:29 UTC
I confirm that this bug is now fixed
Probably these sounds were mono.

Thanks!

Is this polite to do, when user closes a bug that was fixed by developer, or the opposite, I don't close this bug since I think that there are some stats on the bugzila about 'who closed the bug', so I don't know
Comment 5 Lennart Poettering 2009-08-27 09:07:06 UTC
I don't care too much who closes the bug. As long as the bug deserves to be closed it doesn't matter if the dev or the reporter closes it.
