I guess your "extra-hdmi" fix improves matters but there are still a few issues. With the default settings the speaker-test program still produces no audible sound. The master channel is *still* muted and zeroed. However, the gnome3 volume control applet also shows muted and "very low". So the level can be corrected easily by a regular user. If I look in alsamixer on card0 the master channel is still zeroed and muted while the master mono is maxed and unmuted. I think I'd prefer the volume to default to maxed and unmuted on the master channel by default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA Contact for the bug.
