Volume control stops working about eruption HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi @MauritsvanderZee, thanks for reporting this issue!

Could you please tell me what distro and desktop environment you are using?

from eruption.

Hi @X3n0m0rph59 ,

I am using Manjaro Linux with KDE and my friend is using Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome.

Best regards
Maurits

from eruption.

@MauritsvanderZee So far I was unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 18.04 using the Gnome desktop environment. Will try Manjaro with KDE desktop later. Please note that on Ubuntu 18.04, the volume level indication on the keyboard is disabled when changing the volume using the dial in the upper right corner. On Manjaro you should see the current volume level of the primary sound device, displayed as highlighted colors.

Could you please post the output of the following command:

$ sudo journalctl -u eruption -b

I am especially interested in the dump of the firmware revision. It should read Firmware revision: 136, which is the current version of the firmware for the ROCCAT Vulcan 120.

If the firmware revision is below the supported version, Eruption will print a warning message on startup. In this case, please update the firmware using ROCCAT Swarm on Windows 10.

from eruption.

Dear @X3n0m0rph59 ,
So the issue we have is not that the actual indication is not showing up. The volume itself is not adjusting at all. So if we "spin" the dial in the upper right corner nothing happens.

In the meantime I checked my firmware. It is version 136.
Please also see my output of the command you provided:

> sudo journalctl -u eruption -b

My friend however, is on an older firmware version (118). So on Ubuntu with Gnome this could be the issue.

from eruption.

@MauritsvanderZee sorry for taking so long to reply! I am still unable to reproduce the issue.

Do you have any updates on this? Did your friend get around to update his keyboard's firmware?

Are you maybe using third party drivers, that could lock the USB HID device in any way?
Do you mind posting the output of ps -elf?

To make some progress on this one, could you please run eruption from a terminal with debug logging enabled, and then post the output?

Mask and stop the daemon:

$ sudo systemctl mask eruption.service && sudo systemctl stop eruption.service

Run eruption with debug logging enabled:

$ sudo RUST_BACKTRACE=full RUST_LOG=debug eruption

Please use the volume dial now.... And then please post the output!

Re-enable the daemon afterwards:

$ sudo systemctl unmask eruption.service && sudo systemctl restart eruption.service

from eruption.

My System: POP OS 20.10
Keyboard: Vulcan 122

I have finally found this thread and saw that someone else has the same Problem. Eruption works like a charm but when i use the Volume Knob it doesnt switch volume, it turns down or up the Brightness of the Keyboard. No matter if the FX Key has been pressed or not. This is my output:

Hi @Neovenat0r!

Thanks for providing the debug logs! It seems that the state machine inside Eruption gets confused somehow. I will look into this...
I noticed that your keyboards firmware revision is not the latest one that is available! Do you mind updating using ROCCAT Swarm on a Windows machine, and then test again?

from eruption.

Hi @MauritsvanderZee @Neovenat0r,

I just published new packages (eruption-git) for all supported distros that contain the commit 1432a3f. Please tell me if this fixes the issue for you!

from eruption.

Really thank you for this great software, and for the support. I cannot talk for @MauritsvanderZee but I think you can close this issue, because I had the exact same problem but, after updating the firmware using Roccat Swarm (on Windows) it suddenly disappeared.. so as you suggested is a matter of upgrading the firmware...

from eruption.

Hi everyone,

yes my volume wheel is working as well after firmware upgrade on a windows machine. So please feel free to close the issue.

Thanks again for the amazing project @X3n0m0rph59

Maurits

from eruption.

Great, glad to hear that it works now! I will close this issue now.
