I tried using arecord -vv as per the instructions on http://www.alsa- project.org/main/index.php/SoundcardTesting, and my faked "Digital Capture Volume" DOES affect the volume recording level for this application.
But it has no effect on gnome-sound-recorder (or Skype) irrespective of which device I chose. So it seems I have two issues on my PC: a) ALSA doesn't detect/display the digital capture volume control by default. I had to add it to /etc/asound.state manually (copying it from Hardy) and do a sudo alsactl restore. I think this is an ALSA issue. I have no idea why the control appears for some people and not others. b) The digital capture volume has no effect on gnome apps. This is presumably a pulseaudio issue since digital capture volume works in arecord. Btw, I'm now using alsa 1.0.18 from the jaunty repositories, but I don't think it's all that different from 1.0.17. -- internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275998 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
