[Bug 1232633] Re: [system] Changing volume doesn't show feedback on the phone

 

This warning is only shown to the user (on Android) if headphones are
plugged it.

We too could display such a warning by triggering a corresponding snap-
decision from indicator-sound. With our current notification-system we
have all needed means for this in place. But what icon, summary- and
body-text should it display? What labels should be used on the buttons.
How should the phone (indicator-sound) behave if the user selects
"Cancel"? How long should it (indicator-sound) remember that user-
choice? Until headphones are unplugged and plugged in again? This needs
some good thought and "user-journey" from Design.

What we need on the side of indicator-sound is a way to determine, if a
headphone is currently plugged into the phone or not. I don't know the
audio-stack well enough to answer this.

Title:
  [system] Changing volume doesn't show feedback on the phone

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Not an indicator of volume status when it makes adjusting volume
  (Nexus 4)

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#volume-keys>: "In addition, any of
  those keys/buttons should play a subtle noise for you to gauge the
  volume, and display a confirmation bubble with the icon of the primary
  sound output at the current volume, a volume bar, and accessible text
  “Sound muted” or “Volume {X}%” (for example, “Volume 75%”)."

  **Update**
  For EU regulations:
  When listening to music/audio sources and the volume is raised above a certain threshold a warning must be displayed to user.
