This bug affects me with a PCM2706C bare DAC (USB Soundcard standalone board). I use 2 other very similar external USB DAC's (Different chipsets) and the volume control works fine with them. Also verified on a laptop. Both Laptop and Desktop are running 18.04.4.4
At anything above silent, I get full volume. The volume for the specific source (application) can be adjusted under the Playback tab (software (ALSA) volume). This is particularly obnoxious since each new sound begins playback at full volume. I believe this is a kernel bug for this particular USB DAC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737617 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Audio DAC] FiiO E7/TI Burr-Brown: Volume control does not work Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: The volume control for the FiiO E7 USB sound card doesn't work. Tested with the normal gnome volume control and in alsamixer. 0% mutes the audio, everything larger than 0% is full volume. Alsamixer only shows one control, labeled "PCM". The chipset is a TI Burr-Brown PCM2706. Might be related to #559939 (different chipset, though).
