More experimenting with this... if I run alsamixer -c 3 I can control the volume. On startup, it is set at 100%. Moving the speaker volume down makes things even quieter (expected) but maxing the volume and playing test sounds.. can barely hear anything. I opened up /etc/asound.STATE and poked around in there. The section for the Headset was set to a range of 0 to 44 and volume was set to 44. (max of the range?) I unplugged the usb headset.. plugged it back in... it's immediately picked up and working.. but the sound levels are still barely audible. I started playing a sound and runnign the volumes up and down in KMix and alsamixer.... I get spikes of loud and quiet as I move the volume up or down. I cannot get it to stay on a "loud" segement... it spikes and then drops back down to barely audible. Any suggestions? Trying it on another computer now...
