Title:
[FUJITSU AMILO La1703 audio playback] Audio volume extremely low
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in Gentoo Linux:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Hello
Please note: Bug #1225622 reports a similar issue against the same
hardware but diffirent Ubuntu software. Additionally, the said bug
reports issues related to no sound. Due to symptoms and Ubuntu
versions differing I am creating this report.
I will add as much detail as possible. Please contact me if there are
steps that I can take to facilitate further.
Symptoms:
After a full clean install there was one symptom, very low sound volume that
I could detect with headphones. The fans on this system plus other ambient
sound made it difficult to confirm if the same volume of sound was being
emitted by the speaker.
The Sound System Settings displayed both the internal speaker and
headphone as "Play Sound Through". I would have to do an erase and
install of the said OS to verify this with 100% accuracy or startup
from the live CD. As quite some time has been exhausted trying to
workaround the issue I can't make this claim with complete accuracy.
Workarounds:
Followed Installation Instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS and applied
oem-audio-hda-daily-lts-raring-dkms_0.201309132333~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb (302.4
KiB) as per
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+packages.
Interstingly, the above workaround created a secondary issue, Ubuntu
Software Center continuosly quit unexpectedly while running a spinng
gear of cogwheel. I can't verify if it the secondary issue that I
mentioning here is completely related but the error messages would
certainly suggest it. I recovered out of it by following the first
bullet point in http://askubuntu.com/questions/233389/how-can-i-fix-
errors-relating-to-the-launch-of-the-software-center
After fixing the secondary issue with Ubuntu Software Center, I
restarted and launched Sound System Settings but the Output tab
display nothing in the list. If I plug headphones into the respective
jack, the following appears under the Output tab, Headphones,
VT8237A/VT8251 HDA Controller. Although the focus of this report is
audio out volume leve, plugging a mic also displays the same in the
Input tab. The headphones continue to emit sound but it is very low in
volume, barely audible.

2) This step is not so clear especially for a new user. I don't know which
pkgname to run against the command. As I understand it ALSA is part of the OS
install but I don't know enough about UBUNTU as a basic user to say.
3) I expected to be able to here sound come out of the speaker and
headphones and be able to raise and lower the volume at will.
4) Headphone volume is full but the sound is barely audible. There is no
audible volume coming from the speaker.
