ALSA info gzipped

I basically have a generic Dell box with integrated ICH7 audio

 0 [ICH7           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH7
                      Intel ICH7 with AD1981B at irq 23


When I plug my headphones into the front, in alsamixer only the Headphone 
slider has an effect, Master does nothing to change volume.

Now Pulseaudio somehow merges these (even if flatvol is off) and the
whole range of Headphone is compressed into the low range and it gets
painful very quickly.

No idea if this is ALSA bug or not. Please advise and forward
accordingly.

ALSA info and pulseaudio verbose output attached

Can you attach output of "pacmd ls"?

Normally I'd expect a "Headphones" port to be available for your Sink.
With the jack detection capabilities added in PA 2.0, this port will
hopefully now be activated automatically when a jack is plugged in. In
older versions you have to enable the port manually in pavucontrol or
another mixer when you plug in a jack.

Attached »pacmd ls«. (Note I have an Apple Monitor with USB audio too)

It’s not expected behaviour that when I use my volume buttons that only
the two lowest ticks give me a range between threshold-of-hearing and
thresold-of-pain, is it?

 |0---xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|

0 nothing, x == pain

I don’t have a headphone port. It’s not there. And on IRC mkbosman told
me he had the same problem and to open this bug.

What is interesting is that you do not have any "Analog Speakers" ports
listed. I think we're addressing this shortly in PA master having spoken
to David (I can tell you're using Ubuntu from the patches), so this is
good, but I'm not sure why Master is getting adjusted here... I'd have
expected the two headphone ports to adjust Headphones and Line
respectively.


Ultimately, this basically boils down to writing a profile for the
hardware. I'd have hoped the default profiles would have sufficed and
perhaps it still can once the speakers port comes in.

For more info on writing profiles see:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Backends/ALSA/Profiles

I've CC'ed David to get his input here.

That's an ALSA driver bug. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix AC'97s.

There does not seem to be any kcontrols indicating that you have
speakers, therefore no "Analog Speakers" port.

It seems to me that if "Master" controls the speaker but not the
headphones, "Master" should be renamed to "Speaker".

without the headphone plugged in
 0:72 = 0804

with the headphone plugged in
 0:72 = 080c


it is possible to add Jack detection support on some AC97 codec
