sink.c: Volume not changing

the dB  range is -48dB to 0dB for stereo headphone and speaker playback
volume with 64 steps

PCM  Playbacks volume (stereo) is softvol control with dB range -51dB to
0dB with 256 steps

master playback volume (mono) is the virtual master volume

you have to study the source to find out how pulseaudio calculate 16%

can you post the pulseaudio verbose log ?

Title:
  Volume mutes when below 16%.

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  not much else to say. When using alsamixer from terminal and when
  using all gui methods of changing volume it always mutes at 15% and
  below. When using alsamixer volume jumps from 0 to 16 and when using
  gui sliders there is nothing below 16%. I have found nothing about
  this other than two other posts with people saying the same thing, and
  no fixes posted there either. I can't imagine only three people are
  experiencing this.
