Hi Felipe, My kernel has been updated since the first mail I sent. root@pc-jean-debian:/home/jean# uname -a Linux pc-jean-debian 3.16-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.5-1 (2014-10-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux
The volume issue remains. "Element Front Mic Boost" "volume" is already "off". I tried to set "Element Mic Boost" "volume" from "merge" to "0". But it muted everything. ***THE CONF FILE [General] priority = 87 description-key = analog-input-microphone [Jack Mic] required-any = any [Jack Mic Phantom] required-any = any state.plugged = unknown state.unplugged = unknown [Element Capture] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element Mic Boost] required-any = any switch = select volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Option Mic Boost:on] name = input-boost-on [Option Mic Boost:off] name = input-boost-off [Element Mic] required-any = any switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element Input Source] enumeration = select [Option Input Source:Mic] name = analog-input-microphone required-any = any [Element Capture Source] enumeration = select [Option Capture Source:Mic] name = analog-input-microphone required-any = any ;;; Some AC'97s have "Mic Select" and "Mic Boost (+20dB)" [Element Mic Select] enumeration = select [Option Mic Select:Mic1] name = input-microphone priority = 20 [Option Mic Select:Mic2] name = input-microphone priority = 19 [Element Mic Boost (+20dB)] switch = select volume = merge [Option Mic Boost (+20dB):on] name = input-boost-on [Option Mic Boost (+20dB):off] name = input-boost-off [Element Front Mic] switch = off volume = off [Element Internal Mic] switch = off volume = off [Element Rear Mic] switch = off volume = off [Element Dock Mic] switch = off volume = off [Element Dock Mic Boost] switch = off volume = off [Element Internal Mic Boost] switch = off volume = off [Element Front Mic Boost] switch = off volume = off [Element Rear Mic Boost] switch = off volume = off .include analog-input-mic.conf.common Best regards Jean ----- Mail original ----- De: "Felipe Sateler" <fsate...@debian.org> À: "Jean Bernon" <jber...@free.fr> Cc: 766...@bugs.debian.org Envoyé: Vendredi 7 Novembre 2014 21:10:43 Objet: Re: Bug#766781: pavucontrol: Input volume cannot be more than 39% Hi Jean, On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 9:02 AM, <jber...@free.fr> wrote: > New thing.

OK I just confirmed that this is desired behavior is pulseaudio, and that this is probably a bug in your driver. Pulseaudio by default "merges" the mic and mic boost controls into a single volume control. What is happening to you is that the boost control seems to be broken. Please try upgrading your kernel (your kernel was a few versions behind when you reported the bug). If that doesn't work out, we should reassign this bug to the kernel. As a workaround, you can try editing /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input-mic.conf and inside the element [Element Front Mic Boost], set "volume = zero". That should disable merging of the two controls. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
