[Touch-packages] [Bug 1547954] Re: incoming sound level too low when using USB sound cards.
I should mention that most "incoming volume" levels are set for music, which is quite loud on its own. But I do speech recognition, and my voice is normally soft, plus I must not annoy other people or strain my voice by speaking loudly. I do speech recognition for sometimes an hour at a time. My voice must be at normal or soft levels. Otherwise, I get hoarse. Skype / Google Talk have similar problems. Why do I have to act as if the person were across the room, rather than right next to me? Something needs to be done with the low levels, to suit what the machine is being used for on a productivity level rather than an entertainment level. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547954 Title: incoming sound level too low when using USB sound cards.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 207135] Re: pulseaudio uses too much CPU
This is still a problem for me. I open a wine application with sound and it starts okay but within a minute or two pulseaudio usage goes up to about 30% of CPU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207135 Title: pulseaudio uses too much CPU Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio Pulseaudio uses between 6 and 8% of my CPU (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+) when I'm just listening music using Rhythmbox.
