Volume keys behave oddly on panther when only DisplayPort is connected |
|||||||||||
Issue descriptionVersion 51.0.2704.106 (64-bit) Platform 8172.62.0 (Official Build) stable-channel panther Firmware Google_Panther.4920.24.26 I'm seeing strange volume key behavior on this device (which I hadn't used in a while). I'm using an HP KU-1156 USB keyboard (which was the default from the Techstop in SF). At chrome://settings-frame/keyboard-overlay, I have "Treat top-row keys as function keys" unchecked, i.e. the top-row keys should act as system keys instead. When I press F10 (which is usually "Volume Up"), the volume slider appears and is unmuted, but the volume doesn't increase no matter how many times I press it. Pressing either F8 (Mute) or F9 (Volume Down) appears to mute the volume -- the slider appears and is grayed out. After the slider appears, I'm able to drag the level up using the mouse to unmute, but the keys still behave incorrectly: F10 doesn't do anything, and F8 and F9 both mute. To summarize: When muted: F8 and F9 do nothing, F10 unmutes but doesn't change level When unmuted: F8 and F9 mute without changing level, F10 does nothing I have an HP Z24i display connected via DisplayPort (and no headphones currently connected) -- could that be confusing things? I filed a feedback report at https://feedback.corp.google.com/product/208/neutron?lView=rd&lRSort=1&lROrder=2&lRFilter=1&lReport=12332284536.

Could this be fixed as we update the audio row for MD System Menu?

If we're showing a notification as suggested in #1 (presumably in the notifications center) then this can be addressed independently of the MD work since the system menu itself won't be changing appearance.

How about we show a muted volume icon and do not pop up volume bar if there is no audio output? Or we can use an volume icon like muted one, but a different color looking like disable?

Hmm. I think it may still be a good idea to display some sort of visual feedback when the user hits the keys so they know that they're not having function vs. system key issues or running into a bug. (I was confused because stumpy had an internal speaker, IIRC, and I didn't realize that panther didn't have one.) Maybe we could display a different icon in the bubble to indicate that there's no output device connected?

#6, a different icon in the bubble might be good visual cue. We need to PM in this thread.

kuscher@ who would be good to own volume bubble from the PM side?
