Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kmix

Hi,

Running kubuntu 7.10, but this has been present at least since 7.4.  On
my Fujitsu Siemens S7020 lifebook laptop the volume and mute buttons
send x86volume* keypresses. Under kubuntu pressing one invokes kmix (or
so it appears) and a little on screen volume indicator appears mid
screen. kmix is version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1.

Unfortunately kmix controlls the "headphone" volume (with 5.10 or 6.4
there was no "headphone" volume, and the buttons controlled some other
volume slider, but also the headphones did not work).  And it does not
appear that it is possible to reconfigure kmix. Also, if I try to rebind
the volume buttons to the "sound mixer" dock applet via global shotcuts
to the PCM mixer the original (and invisible) bindings to the kmix
application trumps this.  Looks like these bindings are hardwired
somewhere.

So I've not found any configurable way to work around this.

This is my sound hardware:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
        Subsystem: Fujitsu Limited. Unknown device 1326
        ...

Alsamixer identifies it as a "HDA Intel" and "Realtek ALC260".
