Looking at the bug which is now marked as a duplicate of this, Bug #316199, I discovered (which I didn't know before), that you _can_ fix the volume with the gnome panel applet, if you right-click, choose preferences, and adjust the "Master" and "PCM" channels.
Note, that with the "laptop" routing, the required mixer channels are "Master" and "PCM", not "Front" and "PCM". I presume there is no API to query from Alsa which mixer channels are actually in the "pipeline" between the stream sent by Pulsaudio, and the sound reaching some external hardware? -- 'Front' and 'PCM' mixer control elements must be unmuted by default on HDA platforms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315971 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
