Specifically, turning the pulseaudio volume upwards only changes the 'master' and belatedly the 'pcm' volumes inside alsamixer. This ignores 'speaker clfe' + 'speaker front' + 'speaker surround playback volume' plus maybe others. Effectively, this means audio playback is weak: instead of spreading typical 2ch audiofiles across all internal speakers, only some are used, and only at whatever volume alsamixer specifies. (Turning the ignored volumes up in alsamixer causes a different problem: then it is no longer possible to lower the sound to a relatively-quiet volume.) Here is some information from one of the ubuntu pulseaudio/alsa devs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/946232/comments/159 David Henningsson (946...@bugs.launchpad.net) wrote: ...you have unusual hardware: in addition to normal headphones and stereo line out, you have 5.1 internal speakers. This leads to unusual alsamixer names (e g "Speaker Front") which we do not match for in PulseAudio. Fixing that means that we should add those names in PulseAudio - but let's discuss that in a new bug instead. Let me know if you would like more specifics.
