Hello,
escuse me but I'm asking myself if the problem I encounter regarding very
low level of volumes is due to Alsa/Pulse :
a few weeks/maybe a month ago, I upgraded my EEE netbook's Ubuntu O S; the
result is : no longer a normal level volume;
last weekend I did an installation of Debian on a EEE
The first step would be to see if it's even an ALSA issue. With flash
video (youtube) there's a speaker icon and a slider which affects the
volume. I recently noticed hulu had my levels way low with such an
icon. With mplayer there's a softvol option which might differ from
the levels set in als
