The "pulseaudio complains that the volume range is impossible" part was also present in ubuntu 9.10, except that it said "from -16 dB to -16 dB". Some symptoms I'm seeing: - unreliable volume vumeters in pavucontrol - plugging a headset mic into the sound card's mic input works, but plugging normal boom mics doesn't work at all. I tried two different mics: a cheap dynamic mic with an on/off switch, and an electret condenser mic with a battery in it. Both boom mics work if I plug them in the onboard soundcard of the computer instead of the USB sound card. I don't know what to do. Also, I left this bug be filed on pulseaudio, but according to pulseaudio it's an alsa bug. I don't know the correct alsa package name to file this upon.
