Bug ID: 94482
Summary: Incoming/recording sound volume much too soft/low when
routed through USB audio
Product: PulseAudio
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: alsa
Assignee: [email protected]

I have a half-dozen USB audio cards, which I use primarily for speech
recognition applications and video chat. They all behave about the same.
The volume I hear from the other end is fine.
But the incoming volume, the volume of my voice, is set much too low. I have to
speak loudly in a telephone conversation, and talk to my speech recognition as
if it were across the room.
Google's speech recognition application is particularly problematic.
If I use NaturallySpeaking running under wine, things are a bit better because
the program compensates more.
But the incoming speech recognition should be much more sensitive than it is,
since users using voice/speech recognition do not want to strain their voices
when using the product over a long period of time.
Plus, it is rude to the other people in the room if I have to yell.
It appears that the incoming sound level is set to record a garage band or the
like, and not the human voice.
Curiously, I get better recognition through a bluetooth telephone headset than
I do through a wired (and expensive) Andrea Pureaudio USB and Speechware
Fleximike.
