[Bug 1460982] Re: sound: Testing mono output plays back noise

 

At this point, what we need is actually someone recording the sound and
drawing the icons. (Or have GNOME do it for us?)

IIRC, if we merge this patch without new icons and sounds:
 - the sound will fall back the same noise (i e bug remains unfixed)
 - the icon might be worse off (displaying a "broken" icon of some sort). I guess this can be worked around with symlinking one of the existing speaker icons.

  sound: Testing mono output plays back noise

Bug description:
  When having a mono output source, such as BT HFP/HSP, unity-control-center by default plays /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-test-signal.oga 
   - which is a sample of noise.

  This makes it hard to know whether the speaker test works
  successfully, e g, if the sound output is noisy because of some bug,
  you will not notice (it's noise either way!).

  It would be better if the test button was a spoken voice, just like
  when you test "Front Left", "Front Right" etc.
