Yes, the problem is still present in Lucid Lynx Alpha 3 (tested running from Desktop CD). But it has changed a bit, volume control is now working partially. The lowest quarter (estimated) of the slider available in the drop-down from the top edge of the screen works as expected. The other three quarters do not raise the volume further.
Clicking "Sound Preferences ..." in the same menu and using the slider in the opened window allows to raise the audible volume further, but only for positions above 100%. It looks like the volume already reaches 100% when the slider is only at about 25% and stays at 100% for positions between 25% and 100%. Running alsamixer in the background shows, that the lower quarter changes the volume on the pcm channel, while the rest raises the volume on the non functional master channel. Muting works fine now, but the crackling noise is still present and now comes in the two lowest volume levels when changing the volume from the gui. Changing volume (especially reducing) on the pcm channel in alsamixer has become really slow. Sometimes it even becomes impossible but changing volume via gui makes it possible again. The slowness stays. Trying to use apport-collect results in a crash, this seems to be the issue reported on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/516381 - Should I try it in Karmic? I guess I will have to install Lucid on hard disk to test the upstream kernel? I will try to install it tomorrow to see if the upstream kernel changes anything. -- Master volume control has no effect on SIS 7012 with CMI9739A https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351042 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
