Public bug reported: The level of PCM playbacki in alsa is to high in 8.10 compared to 8.04 on my Fujitsu Siemens Si 1520. The old limits was 0 ti 20 and the new is 0 to 43 with default on 35. This makes the playing of sound noisy and distorted. I used the script
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh found on this page https://wiki.edubuntu.org/DebuggingSoundProblems to create two reports one on 8.04 and one on 8.10 and this is what I found. 8.04 control.6 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type INTEGER comment.count 2 comment.range '0 - 20' <========== HERE iface MIXER name 'PCM Playback Volume' value.0 20 value.1 20 } 8.10 control.6 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type INTEGER comment.count 2 comment.range '0 - 43' <========== HERE comment.dbmin -3000 comment.dbmax 3450 iface MIXER name 'PCM Playback Volume' value.0 35 value.1 35 } If I lower PCM playback to 20 and below is the sound OK. I have attached output of the script for 8.10 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- PCM level too high after upgrade to 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
