I get the same error in /var/log/messages others have reported: Jan 16 08:08:40 dave-desktop pulseaudio[2072]: alsa-mixer.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range from 18.00 dB to 18.00 dB which makes no sense. Jan 16 08:08:43 dave-desktop pulseaudio[2072]: last message repeated 6 times
I use fluxbox and when my system starts up sound is not present. Sound does seem to work fine when I use gnome. In fluxbox, changing the levels using alsamixer doesn't fix the problem. However, if I run gnome-volume-control, the checkbox there indicates the sound is muted. I can then unmute it and then I can get sound and change levels with alsamixer. (There is no indication of the muted status of the system in alsamixer when I first run it. Can't say whether this problem is related to the bug above, but I thought I'd report it in case it is. (This new pulseaudio thing is still a mystery to me.) (Also, by the way, my system freezes seemingly randomly, but this is probably an X problem and unrelated to audio.) -- alsa-mixer.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range from 18.00 dB to 18.00 dB which makes no sense https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
