[Bug 1458933] Re: No volume control on screen lock - Volume goes to 100%

 

Actually all music playback should stop when you lock your session, did
you do anything to make this work? (E.g. adding your user to the "audio"
group – while not advised – has that effect.)

There is no way you can control audio playback from the greeter and
we're currently not planning to add volume controls to the greeter
interface because music playback normally just stops when your
seat/session becomes inactive.

Title:
  No volume control on screen lock - Volume goes to 100%

Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Xubuntu 14.04.2, LightDM, Macbook 4,1, using ubuntu-stable

  using $ dm-tool lock, the keyboard volume controls do not work until I
  have logged in. I expect it to at least maintain the volume level it
  was at, and respond to being muted, but it does none of these things.
  This is a problem because if I forget to turn off music, then take my
  laptop somewhere, I have to login before I can mute the massive blast
  of music coming out of my speakers. On the lock screen, even if the
  volume was previously muted, it gets put to 100%. Searching google and
  posting this problem on /r/linux4noobs, /r/linuxquestions, and
  /r/archlinux have yielded no answers.
