Hello,

i have a strange problem lately, still haven't figured out what caused this. My volume control is not working anymore. I mean changing the volume of calls an music by using the volume-hardware-button. I can verify the button works because zooming on webpages works using the same button.

Is there any daemon i can monitor or logs i can search ?
I have the latest CSSU updates and testing repos enabled.

I know i can flash the device, but I have never done that before, and i would like to know what is wrong and especially how to start searching before i would do that.

Any help is appreciated !

On searching for volume controls on my N900, i found the following files that might solve the issue..

can you go to xterminal as root and
and try running anyone of these..

/etc/event.d/volumecontrold
/opt/maemo/usr/sbin/volumecontroldaemon
/usr/sbin/volumecontroldaemon
/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/volume.desktop

Hi
I have the same problem starting this week and it started after I added ProfilesX and also Powatools. Did you do the same lately? In the ProfilesX thread there was someone else with the same problem- so this got me thinking the two might be related. But no solution was posted there yet. Let us know if you lately installed one of these two apps- maybe it can help pinpoint our problem - or maybe it is something else.

good thinking, indeed, I too started using ProfilesX last week and Powatools. These tools are isntalled for months now, but afer advanced-interface-switcher installed a better battery icon I cleand up with Powatools.
And I used ProfilesX to configure profiles ...

Anyone an aidea on how to get these files back without reflashing ? I amde a backup with Backupmenu, will look at that !

I don't think factory settings would bring back a volumedaemon

Thanks, But I get this error message:
Command line option 'r' (from -reinstall) is not known.
