2 Juk volume sliders

Description Jude Ashvin Lobo Shenoy 2015-03-24 17:01:53 CET 
I use Juk music player on my sys. I used to use amarok but i prefer Juk as its minimal. When i start juk for the first time after the system has booted and listen to music , it sounds a lot harsh with a lot of his and rough. Then i click on the volume icon in the tray and pull down the slider on the juk audio stream a bit and push it back. This sorts out the issue. Sometimes pulling the slider down on the built in audio analog stereo helps. Can this is be done away with. To me its a minor issue but sometimes a user who is not very interested in checking out why this happens may end up being frustrated.

@ Jude

Please open a konsole/terminal and give the following commands:

rpm -qa | grep juk

and

lspcidrake -v | grep -i audio

and paste the output of those commands in a comment in this bug report.

I just tried in cauldron, with juk-4.14.3-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm and didn't notice this issue, but my ears may be too bad to notice hisses and such. 

Anyway, assigning to maintainer. He'll have better ears than me :-)

Hi Marja,

Below are the details as requested. This happens usually when i play a game like hedgewars and also keep juk playing simultaneously. Will attach pics again when this issue crops up again. as of now i have the below....

[ashvin@wolf ~]$ su -

[root@wolf ~]# rpm -qa | grep juk
juk-handbook-4.14.3-1.mga5
juk-4.14.3-1.mga5

Rough audio at times

This is with juk and hedgewars open and playing audio simultaneously.

Summary: Audio sounds like a lot of jingles on first start. => Audio sounds a lot rough on first start.

Have changed the title of the bug to reflect the actual event. When i play hedgewars and juk on opensuse kde i have no issues with the rough audio with crackles. This needs to be straightened out for a flawless Mageia experience i feel :) 

The pics uploaded may give you an idea of the problem. I then play with the sliders for hedgewars and juk for this problem to go away completely.

When I saw you had added attachments, I thought they were soundfiles recorded with another device, so that we'd be able to hear the difference ;-)

I hope Nicolas (the maintainer of juk) will be able to reproduce the issue, that'll increase the chance the cause will be found

2 Juk volume sliders

When juk is playing i see 2 volume sliders.
Comment 9 Jude Ashvin Lobo Shenoy 2015-07-07 11:35:01 CEST 
As my latest snapshot upload shows 2 volume sliders for juk, the one on the right is the one that works and the one on the left to the working slider is not working. Sometimes i notice a track playing over the same playing track i.e: one track plays twice. Can someone find out what's going on?

The below are some details of the sound card. I have changed my motherb 1 month back so a difference between the previous results of the commands:

[wolf@wolf ~]$ rpm -qa | grep juk
juk-handbook-4.14.3-1.mga5
juk-4.14.3-1.mga5

[wolf@wolf ~]$ lspcidrake -v | grep -i audio
