Sound slider moves itself randomly when scrolling or moving sound pointer

Hello everybody,

I confirm this bug. Same problem here. The slider is buggy. I also installed Ubuntu SDK. Despite reinstalling the indicator-sound package and dependencies, the problem is still remaining... Removing SDK does not change the problem.

Is this related to NVIDIA proprietary driver that add HDMI sound driver... (using new NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti) ? Is it related to the sound chip on my motherboard, despite it is disabled in BIOS... (so no driver loaded)?

Please give us a solution.

Best regards.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I doubt this is a hardware issue because installation of Ubuntu SDK for sure caused the problem. I think that Ubuntu SDK just messed up in some files/libraries

I installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine and installed the Ubuntu SDK, but still having this problem. It is 100% not a hardware problem. I hope the developers fix this problem.

Same here. This bug appeared after installing the Ubuntu SDK.

Would you please attach or pastebin the output of thes comman ->

`sudo apt-get update && dpkg -l|egrep "^ii"|awk '{print $2}'|xargs apt-cache policy > sources.log && lspci >> sources.log`

Hello,

Here is the sources.log from my computer to help you.

Best regards.

This is mine

this is mine log, hope it helps to solve the problem :)

I am having a similar issue, though I did not install ubuntu-sdk. I unfortunately don't know when this bug started happening as my install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 (from Live-CD) is only a few-days old. I attached my own sources.log.

Some additionnal informations: on my computer, the bug doesn't occur:
1) when using keyboard shortcuts
2) when ajusting volume from System Settings > Sound

I have the feeling this is independent of the SDK as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1344990 sounds like a duplicate of this.

I tested now that installing Ubuntu SDK on my Intel-based laptop didn't trigger the bug. I believe that this could have something to do with NVIDIA as the PC in #1344990 has NVIDIA's proprietary driver installed (I reported that bug). My desktop at work is Intel-based and no problems there.

My laptop has nothing to do with NVIDIA, so I think it's a wrong guess. It must have been Ubuntu SDK or something related to its installation.

Set back to Confirmed because Pool provided the requested information

the problem is solved when i complete remove indicator-sound with dependencies by synaptic and install it (with unity-control-center). before I installed unity8, I also deleted

Hi Marat, how did you exactly do it? Can you tell me the exact steps you made? I removed first indicator-sound with deps using synaptic and then installed it after reboot. This did not work so I removed both indicator-sound and unity8 with synaptic and installed after restart. Still not working. I would really love to solve this annoying problem.

mark "for complete removal"! indicator -sound and all unity8-* and all libmir* pakages in synaptic. Do it.... then sudo apt-get --purge autoremove, then reboot, then install indicator-sound then reboot. And it works correct. (next unity-control-center for valid control panel view)

yes, thank you, this really works. I can confirm it. So the problem has to be somewhere in these packages.

I don't understand this. We got a bug here that is a year old and marked important. How can we expect to get anywhere if we can't even fix a god damn volume control?

No, we have a bug here that's marked as a duplicate of bug #1344990, which in turn is marked Fixed Released.

(The confusion here was an example of bug 354806, that duplicate status is shown at the top of a bug report but is not shown in the comments when it happened.)
