Banshee, volume problem

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,

Banshee volume level is set to 100% after start (of the app). Do you know how to force Banshee to remember the last volume level? The volume is maximized only in Banshee, the system volume level stays the same.

(openSuse 12.3, gnome, Banshee 2.60)

2

Run alsamixer or pavucontrol and check all volume levels.

From what i have seen Banshee doesn’t remember volume, playlist position when closed right from around openSUSE 11.X :wink:

4

It is strange, Banshee is not in the pavucontrol. The problem is that if I open the Banshee the volume is boosted to maximum and it is very uncomfortable.

5

Try maximising Pavucontrol window. It should show up

6

It didn’t help. The Banshee is not there.

Is there for me

I believe you and I know that it should be there. The problem is what is wrong with my Banshee. Which version do you have?

9

Check whether you have this package “banshee-backend-platform-gnome - GNOME platform support for Banshee”

I did use 2.6 . But today i rolled back to Banshee 2.4.1, cleaned all banshee related folder, installed gconf-cleaner and cleaner it twice and finally it worked.
Even after closing and opening ,banshee retains previous volume :slight_smile:

But,it may be unlikely that 2.4 would be found in 12.3 :slight_smile:

I believe this is a bug of Banshee 2.6

I have been using 2.6 when I’m still on 12.2 and suffered from this max-volume-after-start problem. 2.4 and 2.5 both work well.

Now I’m on 12.3 and using banshee 2.6, this problem remains.

Besides, some guy also reports this bug in Ubuntu 12.10 as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1071277

Ubuntu has a nice habit/history of not sending fixes upstream and giving back to community.They are cannibals and oppurtunists. These are strictly personal opinions based on my reading various articles on the world wide web. So it is unlikely that other dstros will get the fix.

Nice description of Ubuntu and I can’t agree more :). Anyway, the link I posted is just to prove that it’s a banshee problem, not openSUSE.

14

There’s just no point to speak ill of others in your own territory. Nevertheless, this happens everywhere.

Anyway I have this same problem, that volume goes up to 100% after every restart. I will uninstall banshee and see.

I found a workaround on this error, which I am also suffering.

  1. Open Banshee
  2. Chose your favorite Classical music album.
  3. Play the adagio part of it. Tip: if no adagio, then no more than andante, largo is better but rare. Avoid allegro in any case.
  4. Lower the volume from the top right corner.
  5. Choose freely any other music you want to listen to.

Enjoy music. Problem solved! :cool:

That is the issue,everytime i reopen banshee the volume shoots to max and i have to manually change it to acceptable levels. Simply put banshee doesn’t retrieve the last volume level from previous playing session.
