there are two amp at node 0x16 and 0x1a in green line out Jack path from node 0x10 to node 0x1a
dB range is sum of pcm playback volume and front playback volume not sure why pulseaudio use 8.5dB as Max since dB Max of pcm playback volume is 14 dB Node 0x16 [Audio Mixer] wcaps 0x20050b: Stereo Amp-In Control: name="PCM Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="PCM Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Rear Mic Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=2, ofs=0 Control: name="Rear Mic Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=2, ofs=0 Control: name="Front Mic Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=4, ofs=0 Control: name="Front Mic Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=4, ofs=0 Control: name="Line Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=3, ofs=0 Control: name="Line Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=3, ofs=0 Control: name="CD Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=1, ofs=0 Control: name="CD Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=1, ofs=0 Amp-In caps: ofs=0x17, nsteps=0x1f, stepsize=0x06, mute=1 Amp-In vals: [0x18 0x18] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 6 0x10 0x1f 0x1a 0x1b 0x1e 0x25 Node 0x1c [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058d: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Front Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Front Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Line Out Front Jack", index=0, device=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x1b, nsteps=0x1b, stepsize=0x06, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x1b 0x1b] Pincap 0x0000001c: OUT HP Detect Pin Default 0x01014010: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear Conn = 1/8, Color = Green DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0x0 Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT Unsolicited: tag=02, enabled=1 Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 1 0x16 Node 0x1d [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058d: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Headphone Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Headphone Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Control: name="Independent HP", index=0, device=0 Control: name="Front Headphone Jack", index=0, device=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x1b, nsteps=0x1b, stepsize=0x06, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x1b 0x1b] Pincap 0x0000001c: OUT HP Detect Pin Default 0x0221401f: [Jack] HP Out at Ext Front Conn = 1/8, Color = Green DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0xf Pin-ctls: 0xc0: OUT HP Unsolicited: tag=01, enabled=1 Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 2 0x16* 0x25 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210129 Title: Pulseaudio does not recognize sound levels correctly. Status in PulseAudio sound server: Fix Released Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I am setting volume to 75-100% sounds is amplified and quality is very bad. Setting for "Unampified" in sound settings (which is placed around 50% of the bar) makes sound is almost unhearable. Sound is good and loud around 60% of volume. This is really annoying because setting volume from keyboard or sound indicator is useless -> volume up makes terrible sound, volume down only 10% to 50%(unamplified) makes there is almost no sound.
