about sound volume
i have 2 pc, using same speaker, both running aumix for bookworm pc1 has 2 controls for loudness, Vol=90 and Pcm=46 pc2 has 1 control for loudness, how to set it so that loudness is same as pc1?
Sound volume doesn't stick between reboots
Hi! I have a problem where sound volume doesn't stick between reboots - I have an external USB sound "card", a Behringer UMC204HD, which is detected just fine by the alsa tools and everything, but, as said, it doesn't get volume stuck between reboots. I need to go into alsamixer in the terminal and select the Behringer and increase the volume there every time. I have done alsactl store, as mentioned on https://wiki.debian.org/SoundConfiguration (which as mentioned should be done automatically on every shutdown, but which it seems not to be done as I have described). In the mixer of Xfce's puvlseaudio plugin all volumes are properly set, and nothing needs to be done there. This is on a Bookworm system, just upgraded from Bullseye (where all this wasn't necessary), running Xfce. Does anyone have any clue to a fix? -- Andreas Rönnquist mailingli...@gusnan.se andr...@ronnquist.net [Please don't CC me, if I mail to a mailinglist, I am subscribed to it.]

I don't know how modern Gnome or KDE handle these. Time ago these were pretty flexible to configure.

This should be at least relatively within the same thought process with respect to [programming]. When I change colors, they affect basically "families" of features. I'd start with figuring out where the volume bar falls then see if maybe it needs a declaration that is not currently available in its package. I'd say more than a few users who change their themes would find that to be a nice addition/improvement to that package.

We do not understand why you want to change the color. AFAIK the color is part of the theme you are using. as others mentioned you have to run the audio through some other kind of utility (eg. a kind of audio player) where you can use equalizing features to display the sound level. The difference to windows is that in Linux you have the flexibility to choose what you want to run on the system. the pavucontrol is meant to manage audio not to give you such customization options such as changing the way it looks.

I'm not sure on the sound issue, but I remember having the same exact issue when I was setting up my current system. From what I can recall, it involved changing some setting in the xorg configuration. Specifically adding the Driver line (as below). # /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-display.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" EndSection Try adding this file (not sure if the UXA line was necessary), restart X, and see if it fixes the issue with xbacklight.
i3 wm sound volume and brightness
Two questions: - How to bind hot key so that there would have volume sound display on screen? - How to bind hot key so that brightness would also display on screen? My i3 config for sound volume and brightness is https://paste.debian.net/1009555 The problem is configuration for sound works but there is no display. And for brightness, xbacklight -inc N or xbacklight -dec N returns message No outputs have backlight property I read that's because xbacklight can't find the corresponded backlight in /sys/class. I am aware that changing the value at /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight works, but I am looking for somewhat more portable way. Environment: i3-wm 4.13-1 debian 9.3 Thanks
Sound volume - PCM Controlling with buttons
Dear List, I wish to control PCM-sound levels with buttons - for example with the multimedia keyboard. But when it pressed - it give volume to the master - and I wish set the PCM, not the master. How to do that? Thanks

It did in my case. When the original MB on this box died about 3 years ago, and I replaced it with a newer, but equivalent one that was compatible with my old CPU, RAM, etc., the sound barely worked -- LOW Volume. After tinkering with it for sometime, I just totally uninstalled/purged the sound (ALSA, Pulseaudio and Pulseaduio-equalizer), reinstalled, configured the drivers, settings, etc., and it worked!

Re: Problem with Sound Volume
Perhaps it's hardware related and not software related. Do you connect by line outs to amp ins or do you use a headphone directly connected to the mobos output or are you using any digital interface or something else? The mobos today might use the same sound chips and internal amps as the vendors use for mobile phones, tablet PCs etc., if so, then by EU Regulation and perhaps for non-EU countries too, the maximal output level is limited. If you connect a good consumer or professional headphone with e.g. 600 Ohms, the output will be silent, you need a headphone that has less than 80 Ohms and even then the sound still will be not as loud, as many people want it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sound Volume
I am running the 64 bit Debian Testing Jessie/sid in VMware Player v-6.0.2 build-179776. The sound is very faint in both Firefox v-25 and Chromium v-30.0.1599.101. Yet there is plenty of volume when I play a sound clip in Audacious. I am using the Audio Mixer Plugin on the Desktop, which is also working normally. I would appreciate some pointers to a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

Re: how to increase sound volume of a mp3 file
Decompressing mp3 to wav and then recompressing to mp3 can lead to trouble (go to http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ and do a search for transcoding if you want to learn more), however if your source mp3 file is of high enough bitrate then you may get away without any noticeable decrease in sound quality. The mp3 file is playing back at it's intended volume as recorded - mp3gain will use the replaygain method to adjust the perceived volume upon playback without modifying the mp3's quality. This is the preferred method. Someone else recommended it in this thread: be sure to check all your volume settings including application and system volume. Short of that, opening the mp3 file with Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/) will let you max out the volume on the file if you really want it louder. Just be aware you are likely to introduce clipping (static, hiss, etc.) by doing this, thus why mp3gain is the recommended solution since it is non-invasive and 100% reversible. HTH.

AFAIK that script uses alsactl {store|restore} which works only for

You're right, of course more snip What happens if you manually invoke '/etc/init.d/alsa-utils start'? Do you now have the required volume? Yes, indeed! So the plumbing is all there, it just isn't getting fired up correctly on boot and/or shutdown. Actually, this test probably indicates that the problem is at boot since there were settings there for the script to pick up (presumably placed there on shutdown). Interestingly enough, the output I get when running alsa-utils is: Setting up ALSA...done. I see that in my boot log 27 lines above where it gives the error about /etc/init.d/alsa being called incorrectly. I wonder if it is doing the right thing, but then later undoing it because of the bad call to the other alsa script. Should both of these be getting called? Maybe I should remove the symlinks to /etc/init.d/alsa and see what happens since alsa-util is already getting called earlier. Any thoughts? There are two links to alsa scripts in the /etc/rc2.d dir: alsa and alsasound. Plus the call to alsa-util from /etc/rcS.d makes three. I'm really starting to wonder if all three of these are meant to be called at startup.

Duh. I could have (and *should* have) seen that. Thanks. So yes, I would remove the symlinks to it. I don't know about the alsasound script. What package does it belong to? Interestingly: Tue 12:35pm [/etc/init.d] (547)# dpkg -S alsasound dpkg: *alsasound* not found. Tue 12:36pm [/etc/init.d] (548)# dpkg -S /etc/init.d/alsasound dpkg: /etc/init.d/alsasound not found. maybe it's cruft from something removed. I've removed the symlink to it in rc2.d anyway. Hopefully this will fix the issue. Not able to reboot at the moment to check (system in use here at work), but I will know by tomorrow.

My sound works great. My only problem is that the settings I apply to the Gnome volume control applet don't persist across reboots (although they do across restarts of X).

saving sound volume in gnome
Hello, after i adjust volume in gnome-volume-control and reboot, i loose all setting i made. I've specified aumix to start on boot, which is suposed to save and restore sound configuration on reboot. But it does not work. I work around it by specifiing command aumix -L to run on sesion start by specifiing it in: Aplications - desktop preferences - advanced - sessions - startup programs. This way it work's. Does anybody know some clean way to do it? Thanks Dexter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
